Hackfest Address

[David Munson]

I think developing it for September would probably work best, as I'd like to
be able to answer questions that might come up related to the presentation.
It's essentially a "how-to" demonstration of pen testing, and it may work
really well as an Installfest or ABLEconf topic. The angle I'm going for at
the moment is along the lines of emphasizing the importance of staying
patched and having good passwords. I'd also like to talk about situational
awareness, physical security, and social engineering, since a lot of
security incidents are people walking off (or the owners losing) storage
drives and laptops, though I suspect these things may need to be broken up
into multiple presentations to avoid information overload.

I am by no means a security expert, but it is an area of strong interest,
and teaching something is reportedly one of the best ways to learn it.
