I have an email that is a little bit old so I just wanted to make sure our event posting here (scroll down): http://www.makerbench.com/2011/todays-jam-packed-events-at-maker-bench/ has the details correct for the hackfest. Please let me know if there is anything we need to change on that.

Here's the current blerb:

Phoenix Linux User Group Security Team meets at Maker Bench on the 2nd Saturday from 3PM to 6PM of every month.

http://www.makerbench.com/2011/how-to-get-to-maker-bench-tempe/

This weekend 7/09/11 we will be exploring "Linux Attack Vectors"

As always this is a full-duplex linux event with welcome participation from Linux Community. We will follow up with hands on analysis of individual machines, so bring anything with a kernel that you might you want us to check out.

Please update your hackfest schedule to include our new Tempe location and time on the 2nd Saturday of every month 3PM - 6PM.

Please see http://plug.phoenix.az.us site schedule also.

An example complete schedule also appears at http://hackfest.obnosis.com:

Monthly security presentation labs, with open community participation occur every month on the Second Saturday in Tempe at the Maker Bench (3-6PM) and Third Saturdays (Noon-3PM) in Chandler at Ganglplankhq.com.

This interactive lab and presentation format covers industry news, specific protection issues in linux, ongoing industry tool development, RFC scripts, exploits & net neutrality.

Ethical and legal, as well as liability aspects of security testing are covered as we investigate the strange world of computer insecurity from our portly Penguin perspectives.

Hackfests are specially scheduled demonstrations that include open member participation hacking, cracking, exploits and IDS.
Hackfests are open encroachment events with designated targets.

We also provide information and tools to modify cable modems for DOCSIS 2.0 JTAG to USB and no-solder pin.

Hack test your installations, networks, and program source using Linux Security distro tools.

2nd Saturday 3-6PM Tempe meeting facilities generously provided by MakerBench.

3rd Saturday Noon-3PM meeting facilities generously provided by Gangplankhq.com in Chandler.

Plan on being able to use live CDs, or USB jump drives to follow along, if you bring your laptop and targets are announced. Since we have a VMware Server, you can pre-request a specific target or make arrangements to have your code ported to one of our virtuals and hit with Metasploit or Rapid 7 Community edition. Open network access is unlimited (with "play nice" rules).

Also this link has directions to our site from most valley cities and we are 1/2 block north of the apache/smith-martin light rail station. Not a nice walk in this heat but it is a short one, just head north on smith. If you have a bike it is perfectly fine to bring it inside.

We do not have a sign on the building yet pending the city of tempe. We will have our banner stand out by the door, it is Suite #4.

There will be seating for 20+ setup as well as a projector. There is both free wifi and one hard wire ethernet connection in the event area. If you need anything else just email. Please use info@makerbench.com rather than this one.

Thanks for the projector and networking!

See you tomorrow, looking forward to it. If you order food in we can recommend spinatos chicago style pizza just a few hundred feet north on Smith. There is also the Big Fish Pub and Sleepy Dog Brewery within walking distance.
