Darn. I was wondering about it, too. Too late notice for me, though. Maybe next month (post DEFCON).

Start time has long been nominally 5:30pm, but the reality is
generally that no one shows before 6:15pm.  If you're coming early, by
all means, speak up here on the list to encourage others.  I've talked
to Fox and Hound today and they should have a table set aside for
"Burbsec."

The last several gatherings have had people happily chatting till 9pm
or later with an attendance around 20 or so.  Several Burbsec regulars
are freshly back from Derbycon and happy to share what went well with
that brand new conference held in Lousiville last weekend.

We have a Linkedin group for your professional eNetworking pleasure,
or as always, keep an eye on the search term burbsec on twitter, or
follow the burbsec twitter account for the latest updates.

Hope to see you there!

With the holiday weekend, it's nearly snuck up on us, but the first
Thursday of the month is in just 2 days! Join us and make good on
those "get to know more people in my line of work" and/or "be more
social" resolutions for 2012.

6:15-10ish at the Fox and Hound Schaumburg. Ask any of the hostesses
for the Burbsec group and they should point you our way.

Burbsec for July will be on July 12th (*gasp*--the SECOND Thursday of July).

After consulting with several of the most loyal attendees of Burbsec
(as I sure wasn't making this decision on my own), we're taking a rare
departure from our usual timing due both to the Independence Day
holiday and... [drumroll] no one felt as attached to our traditional
"first Thursday" as they did to .... free drinks courtesy of Rapid7!

The 27 who attended June's burbsec owe thanks to our fearless Ben0xA,
whose idea led to Rapid7's offer of what I'll call "apology libations"
to the Chicago area, with promises of a Chris-Trainortastic future.
(Or something like that?!). Rapid7's new Chicago area rep Chris
Trainor ("from Metasploit") has vowed his attendance at the July
burbsec, and the date change allows him to come and bring R7's
support. Welcome Chris, and an honest thanks to R7 for their sense of
humor and their support of community events like this and Security
BSides Chicago.

Best Regards,

something fell through with his employer sending him out here this

will be sponsoring for your benefit similar to last month.

Heh. Leave it to Tuesday morning to spam the list with a reply
intended for JonC directly. However, if you can't fix it, feature it:
in 2 days, Burbsec West is happenin!

"BurbSecWest is at 6pm on Thursday 7/19 at Rock Bottom Brewery, 28256

Rock Bottom is easy to get to and is right off of the I-88 Winfield

I will buy one for the first five people that show up!"

Many of the Burbsec faithful are freshly back from Derbycon in
Louisville and/or Grrcon where some of your favorite Chicagoland folks
knocked the ball out of the park with their talks. Nicole, Zack,
Scott, and Raf are all among those who gave talks this weekend.
A dizzying number of Derbycon talk videos including Raf's are already live at:
http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/derbycon2/mainlist

In related conference news, early GA tickets for Chicago's very own
Thotcon--now in its 4th year as Chicago's largest offsec conference--
went on sale last night at midnight. Mark your calendar for April 26,
2013 (with Bsides Chicago headed up by Burbsec-ers Michael and
Elizabeth to follow the very next day, I believe). You're going
anyway (!!!!!), so you may as well get your ticket at the discounted
early GA price of just $75. Go NOW and don't miss out:
http://tickets.thotcon.org/

Also the call for papers for Thotcon is open, so get your idea baked
and submitted: http://www.thotcon.org/cfp.html

If any of you are involved in ISSA or InfraGard meetings today, please
spread the word.

I haven't been to Burbsec in a few months and planned to attend tonight.  Unfortunately with the weather am going to miss this one.  Darn it. Hope everyone has fun and is safe...

Sorry we missed you, Jim. Shockingly, there were 25 or so die hards
that attended despite the slop -- and thanks to all of you!

At the restaurant, apparently the other two reserved parties for that
night cancelled.

See you March 7th!

Greetings snow shoveling friends,

See you this Thursday!
6:15pm-?? Fox and Hound - 1416 North Roselle Road Schaumburg, IL 60195 (847) 884-6821 (venue phone)

Security BSides Chicago will soon need volunteers for the April 27th
event. Please let Michael/Moey or Elizabeth know if you can help out,
or I can relay you onto them. Note that hitting reply on this list
sends replies to the list (for reasons I can't control), so some
manual copy/paste may be necessary.

As a reminder, Thotcon and Bsides are right around the corner, April
26/27:
http://thotcon.org/
http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/60569695/BSidesChicago-2013

Have a presentation idea? The CFP for Bsides Chicago is still open
until March 15th. See link above.

Do you have your tickets?
Another round of Bsides tickets will be released at some point.
Twitter remains a good way to keep up to date #BsidesChicago
Thotcon is listed as sold out, and I don't know if another surprise
batch of tickets might be released as we've seen in the past.

Thanks for being part of one of the best security communities in the
country. It's one of the perks we get for dealing with a little bit
of snow every now and then.

Best Regards,

Bsides and Thotcon are comin up! I personally can't wait. Waitlist
spots for Bsides are available (and if memory serves, it's well worth
getting on that list)
https://securechicago.org/upcomingevents/registration/ Thotcon is
completely sold out, but if you keep your eyes on twitter, they have
hinted that there may be a small number of con only tickets without
swag that might get released. Both cons conspire to make Chicago the
best place to be an infosec pro. Be there!

Tickets for Derbycon in Lousiville (in September) go on sale Monday.
Many Burbsec-ers attend this fantastic con as it's in easy road trip
distance. I'm a huge fan of this con's family feel, community
orientation, size, content... consider it as enough of us go that it
may as well be Burbsec South

Greetings,

Burbsec is this Thursday, May 2nd 6-10p?? at the Fox & Hound 1416
Roselle Rd, Schaumburg--ask for burbsec (generally in the back "Green"
room). Come recount your Thotcon and BSides Chicago
experiences.. or hear what you missed.


Bsides talks that were successfully recorded (ustream and network
hiccups are NOT friends) were nearly immediately available at
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bsideschicago for the Big Tent track and
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bsideschicago---new-local for the
superb new/local track. Talk abstracts and schedules are at
https://securechicago.org/upcomingevents/schedule/ and
https://securechicago.org/upcomingevents/speakers/

I plugged our fair meetup heavily in my 4pm time slot in the Big
Tent--looking forward to new faces on Thursday!

June is already upon us! We hope to see you this Thursday June 6 at
Fox and Hound Schaumburg, 6pm-?? (generally people are there well past
10pm).

Fox and Hound
1416 N Roselle Rd Schaumburg, IL 60195-3645
(847) 884-6821

If you're a group member that's not yet made it out to a Burbsec, make
next week the meetup you finally attend! We have a community to
rival any in the country, so take advantage. There are many great
folks to meet and with all the interesting problems we have to solve
in infuse, I'm not sure anyone has ever complained about having a
technical professional network that's too big.

If you're aware of any companies that would like to get their name out
to the good people of Burbsec as infosec community champions by
sponsoring some refreshments, please let me know!

Best Regards,

Mark your calendars--Burbsec (Schaumburg) is sliding back to the 2nd
Thursday for July and August due to the 4th Holiday and Defcon. We'll
return to our typical first Thursday in September.

Check out http://burbsec.com/ -- which includes new features including
a nice embedded update of #burbsec twitter hashtag mentions for the
latest info. Many many many thanks to Steve McGrath for doing all the
site updates and to Erin for getting the original burbsec ball rolling
and hosting.

Burbsec West is still going strong and continues to grow under Jacob's
leadership. They're typically on the third Thursday as you'll see from
posts here. Latest updates generally at
https://twitter.com/burbsecwest and more info at
http://west.burbsec.com/

There's even a Burbsec North meeting around Northbrook that I became
aware of the same day Chris and I decided to slide to the 2nd Tuesday
for July and August. They've had one meet up so far, and you can see
the latest on twitter at http://twitter.com/burbsecnorth or
http://north.burbsec.com/

Hope to see you in two weeks!

Greetings,

Tomorrow night (or today depending on when you read this), is
Burbsec! See you at the Fox and Hound in Schaumburg from 6-10?pm --
ask for the Burbsec group, typically in the back left corner room with
the pool tables.

For those who've never been: just show up, order a drink from the
friendly wait staff, and ask around for Chris or Todd--we'll be happy
to help you get to know other information security folks in the area.
Attendance is usually between 30 and 40 people and the last of them
have never left before 10pm. This month I'm looking forward to
asking the many who went to Blackhat/Defcon/BsidesLV what talks I need
to chase down to watch.

Greetings!

Burbsec is this Thursday at Fox and Hound Schaumburg 6pm - ??
(generally > 10pm) where you'll surely hear some great tales of all
the excellent content delivered at DerbyCon this past weekend.
Burbsec regulars were down in Louisville in force this past Thursday
through Sunday, so if you missed it, or even if you were there
puzzling over which talk to attend at any given time, be sure to ask
which of this mountain of archived content you'll wanna start with!
http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/derbycon3/mainlist

Stay tuned for details on some possible drinks provided by a possible
kind entity!

Liquid refreshments at December's BurbSec will kindly be sponsored once again by Kevin Scanlan from HP. Join us in the Hound room this month (the room in the front with all the windows) as the holiday party season is upon us and we've been bumped from our usual room.

I hope everyone's having a great holiday season. By popular demand
(as in 5 people who didn't want to miss burbsec due to vacations over
New Year's week proposed it right as I came into the Fox and Hound
last month), January's Burbsec will veer from its usual week and
happen on the 2nd Thursday of January this month. Looking forward to
seeing you all in the new year!

Tomorrow: #BurbSec Fox & Hound 1416 Roselle, Schaumburg 6p Jan 9.
Thanks to Anna Greer & @SWCTechPartners for sponsoring some
refreshments and appetizers!



I'm told Burbsec North is also happening Thurs Jan 9 (sorry for the
date conflict with the holiday, y'all--we'll float a 2nd Wednesday
backup date the next time this comes up, probably around Blackhat
time).

Next month the Schaumburg meet up will be back to its regular first
Thursday.

Two things:

1)
"Rolling into February it's time for another Burbsec. Come on out and
avoid the onset of cabin fever. Refreshments and appetizers sponsored
this month by Trustwave's Mike Janke.

Burbsec is a monthly gathering of security professional, usually held
on the first Thursday of the month at the Fox & Hound 1416 Roselle,
Schaumburg Il. Open to everyone, things generally start up around 6 PM
and often run until after 10PM.

If you never attended a Burbsec it's highly recommended. It's always a
good time, folks are friendly, and the atmosphere relaxed. If you're
looking to make a move, searching for some of the sharpest security
minds in Chicagoland, interested in hearing some honest opinions of a
variety of security products and services or just want to hang out
with people who are as passionate about this stuff as you are, Burbsec
is the place.

Hope to see everyone soon!"

Well said, Chris Carlis. See y'all tomorrow!

2) Fox and Hound Schaumburg has declared Burbsec as their business of
the month somehow. I'm not making this up. State your
affiliation with Burbsec between 11am and 4pm weekdays at Fox and
Hound Schaumburg and you'll get 20% off food. I explained to
the group organizer who bestowed this discount upon us and
mentioned badges or membership cards that we had the bandits
in Blazing Saddles view about badges. She was okay with that.
At any rate, don't miss out on a food discount at Fox and Hound
for lunches in February!

Greetings,

Happy March, everybody! Burbsec is this Thursday at Fox & Hound
1416 Roselle, Schaumburg 6p-10?? Mar 6th. Thanks to @Extrahop 's John
Parcell for sponsoring Some Refreshments for this month's meet up!

If you haven't visited http://burbsec.com in a while, Steve McGrath
has really spruced the place up (thanks Steve!). There are now 3
different Burbsec meet ups given how big Chicagoland is. The original
is referred to on the website as Burbsec Prime, and there is also
Burbsec West run by Jacob and Burbsec North run by Chris H. If
you're on twitter, those are @burbsecprime @burbsecwest and
@burbsecnorth for your following pleasure. Jeff would be sad if I
didn't also mention @burbseceast which has never met, but is imagined
on a boat. Ben was also kind enough to create an IRC channel on
freenode accessible with a web interface right off the site with the
Chat link (or join #burbsec on freenode). There are even some
spinoffs on the site such as Burbsec Racing (a group that frequently
goes cart racing) and Burbsec Cigars. In short, there's little
wanting for opportunities to get to know other infosec pros in
Chicagoland!

On the conference scene, Security B-Sides Chicago and Thotcon are on
the horizon. Thotcon (Fri Apr 25) only has limited tickets left at
http://www.showclix.com/event/THOTCON0x5 and BSides Chicago tickets
(free! Sat April 26
http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/70187476/BSidesChicago-2014 )
are being released in batches starting last week. Be sure to get
yours--many Burbsecers are involved in both of these local
conferences. Follow @bsideschicago on twitter for the latest.

See you Thursday!

the April 25/26 Thotcon/Bsides Chicago duo).

Roselle Rd, Schaumburg, IL 60195 6-??!

Thanks once again to HP and HP's Kevin Scanlan for supporting May's
Burbsec! HP has been enormously supportive of the Chicago Infosec
community through sponsorships of various Burbsec's as well as BSides
Chicago.

If you were at Thotcon or BSides Chicago conferences this weekend,
keep the discussions going, if you missed them, hear what you missed!
Many volunteers and organizers for both cons are Burbsec regulars.
On a related note, Derbycon (aka "Burbsec Way South") tickets are on
sale and the hotel block is open for their end of September
conference. Don't miss out on the fall Burbsec road trip to
Louisville. Also, Circle City Con June 13-15 in Indianapolis is
looking to be really great in their debut! Expect a heavy Burbsec
contingent to be there! http://circlecitycon.com/

Hope to see you on Thursday! Bring a coworker!
