Reminders — CapSecDC and Shmoocon Tix

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Tomorrow (that’s Thursday the 29th), some of the local DC IA/IS/Security folks are going to get together to gossip and have a cold one at CapSecDC.

If that’s your thing, come joins at 7:30 PM at

The Brickskeller
1523 22nd St NW
Washington DC 20037

Also, as a friendly reminder, the next round of tickets for ShmooCon are going on sale Saturday, December 1st (usually around 1200 EST, ). Make sure you get your tickets!! ShmooCon is a great local event, can’t be beaten with a stick for the price, and ALWAYS sells out. So get your tickets ASAP.

Hacking for the Holidays

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

This is probably only of use for people who might go looking for it anyways, but today Kevin Liston posted a brilliant compiliation of Incident Response Tools for those of us who may see family over the holidays . . . and have to clean all the crap off that their PCs have gotten infected with since the last time we were there.

To our new readers, this is something that I advise you to tread carefully if you don’t know what you are doing, but this is a great compilation of tools for the purpose, all in one spot. I think I will add this to our “Resources” section.

Check it out at http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=3669

(and, for those of you who want more reinforcement from our presentation, he also offers more counters to that old statement of “There is nothing on my computer that a hacker would be interested in“)

Refresh DC Presentation

Friday, November 16th, 2007

As promised I have uploaded a copy of the presentation. We will also be forwarding a copy to Jason to be placed on the Refresh DC website.

I’d like to thank everyone who attended and I hope you all got something out of the presentation. If you have any questions feel free to stop by and ask us.

And as a personal aside: This makes my first ever blog post. w00t!

Edit — the presentation is available here as a PDF, or you can view it on Adobe’s Share site here (though there are conversion issues with images on the title page).
