Presentations this month include:
Topic: CLI packet forensics
As Information Security evolves, more tools are being released that
allow us investigate incidents quicker and easier, conversely making
many analyst lazier. The sacrifice we have made to this idol of
convenience is increasing layers of abstraction from the 'truth' of raw
data, placing trust in tools we did not write using methods we do not
know. While these high level tools are good to have, the ability to use
simple, low-level tools is essential for security professionals.
This workshop will focus on using 'low-level' tools for network
forensics. We will be using Wireshark's CLI tools, tcpdump, and Linux
CLI tools to look at PCAPs to find and extract interesting information.
A laptop with an Ubuntu VM is recommended, as all the tools we will be
using should be 'apt-get'able. Please install these tools before the
workshop if at all possible.
Topic: Basic Modelling Tools in Blender 3D
Basic introduction to Blender, focusing on the modelling tools. The
basic geometric techniques (extrusion, knife cut, radial cutting tool
etc) along with the sculpting tools (and the dynamic topology sculpting
tools). Then an example of how to use the boolean tools to create
geometry as well. Finally a quick demonstration of what "UV unwrapping"
is about, and how to utilize it.
BIO:
Phil Waclawski has been teaching Linux at Mesa Community college for
about 15 years. He also teaches Web Development, Javascript, PHP, MySQL
and basic Linux internet server set up. He has done summer camps for
high school students teaching them the basics of 3D modelling with
Blender. He first started in Linux with version 1.0 on Slackware back in
1994, and has been hooked every since.
Various hobbies include leatherwork, blacksmithing, wood work , archery
(belongs to the Society for Creative Anachronism) and lately SCUBA. Was
happily surprised to find out the Linux based software for his dive
computer was written partly by Linus.
Hans will also be doing another short presentation in his desktop
security series.
See you there,
Brian Cluff
