Ethical and legal, as well as liability aspects of security testing are covered as we investigate the strange world of computer insecurity from our powerful Penguin perspectives in lab interaction as well as presentation materials.

Hackfest labs include open member participation hacking, cracking, exploits and IDS. Hackfest labs are open encroachment events with designated targets, to include shared network insecurity of the most extreme style. Extensive setup and tear down, forensics and IDS are sometimes required by volunteers, therefore Hackfest labs are team lab format events to make the best experience for all attendees. If you would like to build and submit a FLAG, please document the attack vector, encroachment available and procedure to verify forensics (expect that your flag might be encroached in other ways than your open exploit).  If you system is encroached in other ways your CTF submission will not be considered for points.

Our lab based encroachment includes a point based system and all hackers, CTF builders or teams get points for their flags to be gathered over the year.  Website under development.

Hack test your installations, networks, and program source using Linux Security distro tools.
(Arrangements are happily accepted to coordinate extra credit with local College teachers.)

Monthly security presentations and lectures, with open PLUG participation occur, on the second
Tuesday of every month. This interactive presentation format covers industry news, specific protection issues in linux, ongoing industry tool development, RFC scripts, exploits and net neutrality.
