Hack Challenge Next Wednesday!

I went to the last one and had a blast. They do a really good job of balancing it so newbies will have fun and find flags, and those more experienced will have some good challenges. They provide tools, although you'll want to bring your laptop if possible. Recommend bringing a backtrack CD which you can find here: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads. Its a free event, register ahead so they can create your account and buy enough beer. If you really don't want to participate you can also come along and spectate, Rick will be explaining the mechanics of different flags in a separate room, and there will be a talk at the end from a Defcon CTF winner.
A few of us from Security Justice will be there to proctor...meaning we'll be floating around offering help to people that are stuck. If you have even a passing interest in security I strongly recommend you try to make it out, its a great way to learn about and/or practice some attack techniques, as well as network with a bunch of local infosec folks.

I plan on attending too. My offensive security skills probably need a little more work so I will probably be a spectator this time around too.JodyFrom: hackerspa...@skyspook.com [mailto:hackerspa...@skyspook.com] On Behalf Of Ian S. Kocher
