Happy new year!


Did anyone get that certain someone a new router or WiFi access point this holiday season?  Chances are that we can break into it if it has the WPA Pin mode.  We are gonna do this DC612 more workshop style.  So what we need from you is 1) Laptop with WiFi (backtrack or linux), 2) Wireless Access Point with "PIN" mode, and a WPA passphrase.  We will work on cracking this until everyone breaks the network keys.  We will also talk about why this is such as bad thing, and how this is yet another flaw that was introduced into WiFi networking.  And this is open to everyone!


Location: The Hack Factory (The wonderful local Hacker Space - memberships available!)


The Hack Factory doesn’t have a bar, so bring your own food & beer and remember, there are no maids on the Hack Factory payroll, so you need to clean up after yourself.


Agenda:

  • 6:30PM-7PM – Meet & Greet
  • 7PM-??? - Setup laptops, Boot flawed WiFis, Profit!

See you Thursday!


-DC612


Hack Factory is located in the Seward neighborhood. Enter via the front door, and head to the class room.

No beer? No food? That's at least two strikes against the Hack Factory. At the end of a work day, I'd rather just sit down and have someone bring me food and beer. When will we be moving back to Elsie's on a more permanent basis?

Unfortunately because we don't pay Elsie's to use the banquet room, we
are lowest on the totem pole. If someone else wants to use that room
for a reception, bowling party, etc, we get the boot. With that being
said, we are trying to have some of the meetings at Elsie's, it just
doesn't always work out. As far as someone bringing you food this
month, in the past we have ordered pizza to the Hack Factory. That is
one option that I am sure others would be open to. Also, thanks for
your input, it is appreciated.

I'm cool with using both venues depending on availability and presenter
needs. Elsie's is an excellent place to meet for free so I think we can
count our blessings there. At the Hack Factory it seems supplying food
will require come coordination, but with all of our modern and
convenient electronic communication technologies, that shouldn't be too
much of a burden. -Matt
