Come learn the power of linux as security tool. Come realize our mission to drag professionals kicking and screaming from the Security Matrix. Watch, as we break down the incorrect assumptions via demonstration, educate students on the use of linux based pentesting tools, assist hobbyists to securely and safely negotiate insecure networks at college, coffee shops and our neighborhoods, and finally learn from "frontline" professionals on the Cyber War frontier.

Our FLAG (target) winners, upon individual release/permission, will be published. Past presentations are available online, or via request to the PLUG Security Mail List servers.

Services available to the community from Phoenix Linux User Group Hackfest senior mentoring security and DevOps professionals/intern teams include Tiger Team, pentesting, PCI/HIPAA compliance reviews, Layer 7 forensics and recommendations, without charge.

While PLUG hosts security professionals (from various companies), DeVry actively invites educators from other local schools and institutions. The full interaction lends Devry/PLUG a true security cross mentoring and cross training atmosphere.

The DeVry DLUG provides resource hosting for any LUG that actually provides services to or inter-association with DeVry students themselves. An ESXi (donated by Obnosis) server hosts custom built "targets" providing for test venues comparable to average systems in the wild today, and is available with full access to available for teams via unlimited OpenVPN from excellent hosting provided by OneNeck Hosting to DeVry University to support student LUG and community education. If you would like access to build up a virtual server (ESXi 5.1) for others to own, either contact me directly or join the Security email list at phxlinux.org.

Every Hackfest has room for news, new toy evaluation, new projects and Video submission. Devry provides lab desktop and seat for each of perhaps 30 students easily, which we boot into Backtrack, providing LiveCD's for users to become competent with the tools. Regular hackfesters build their own PWNPad's under Android, or install and customize Backtrack 5r3, which is acceptable. Bluetooth, WiFi, MITM, Layer 7 down applications are regularly covered by SME.

Our focus on open association and informal full duplex communications allow for all attendees to interact to develop skill and confidence with linux during each Lab. Interaction in a creative open source/open minds way equates to the best of play!

Disclaimer: The Hackfests are not the "security arms" of PLUG; every single linux user, PLUG member and every event within the Phoenix Linux User Group provides for the highest in ethical OSI layer security, deepest dive where required, and communications of test modalities, tools and processes that, if used outside of a ab venue, could bring collateral legal consequences.

Note: DeVry University physical access is controlled. Please go to the office and exchange an Identification card for an access card. Alternately if you don't wish to exchange a card, you can call me and I will send out someone to accompany you to the Lab in room 234.
