Hey HakOlyHak,
I thought some of ya'll might appreciate some workshops I'm putting on on may 26th and 27th, announcements below. The day after, we have another workshop titled How Anonymous Does It: Taking Down Websites with DDoS Attacks if anybody might be interested in that (http://olyblog.net/how-anonymous-does-it-taking-down-websites-ddos-attacks) Feel free to forward ruthlessly.
Computer Security Workshop Series
Are you interested in learning how to beef up your computer security, encrypt your hard drive, or maintain your privacy online? Maybe you want to learn how to browse the web anonymously, fight government surveillance, or get around web filters?
Learn computer security from the people who know it best: hackers. Not the ski-mask donning figures who furiously type away at keyboards with an evil green glow that the media portrays, but the hackers who make and break technology for the thrill of learning while upholding strong ethics of free speech and the right to personal privacy.
While you'd normally have to pay hundreds of dollars to learn these skills from a computer security firm, we're offering them to you for absolutely nothing. All these workshops are free and open to the public. Whether you are an activist looking to combat government surveillance and repression, a journalist looking to protect their sources, or just somebody looking to gain a better understanding of computer security principles, these are workshops you can't miss. This is a one time opportunity and if you find some weak excuse to not come, you'll never get this chance again!
On Saturday May 26th, join Students for a Democratic Society and Hackbloc (http://www.hackbloc.org) for a workshop series on communications security and online privacy. If you can use Facebook and are willing to learn something new, you already have everything you need to understand the skills we will be presenting in these workshops. These events are designed to be accessible, so please don't let tech phobia prevent you from learning these important skills.
These workshops are hands-on so bring a laptop or you will feel very lost. Mac (OS X) and PC (Windows/Linux) are supported.
