General Meeting October 9: DevOps Troubleshooting: Stop Blaming DNS!

by Kyle Rankin

Start: 2012/10/09 7:30 pm End: 2012/10/09 9:00 pm Speaker: Kyle Rankin Location: O'Reilly Media Description: In this talk Kyle will talk about DNS, the boogeyman in the network troubleshooting world, and explain not only how to tell when DNS isn't the cause of your problems, but also dive into DNS troubleshooting so you'll know for sure when it's to blame. Kyle will cover troubleshooting techniques aimed at the entire DevOps organization. DevOps-style collaboration is great for rapidly developing and deploying software, and when you apply those techniques to troubleshooting, problem solving gets the same benefits. -- Kyle Rankin NBLUG President The North Bay Linux Users' Group http://nblug.org IRC: greenfly(a)irc.freenode.net #nblug kyle(a)nblug.org

General Meeting TOMORROW: Hackfest and Hardware Swap

by Kyle Rankin

Start: 2012/08/14 7:30 pm End: 2012/08/14 9:00 pm Instead of a regular speaker, this month we are going to do a hackfest. Like the previous hackfest we will take half of the meeting to conduct lightning talks from the first four people who sign up for one. After that we will spend the rest of the time in a more loosely-structured social setting where everyone can show each other what they have been working on or ask for help. This would be a good meeting to bring your computers. Also this month we invite you to bring any computer hardware you think other members might be interested in for a hardware swap. -- Kyle Rankin NBLUG President The North Bay Linux Users' Group http://nblug.org IRC: greenfly(a)irc.freenode.net #nblug kyle(a)nblug.org

General Meeting 2011-12-13: Practice Penetration Testing on your Home Router

by Kyle Rankin

Start: 2011/12/13 - 7:30pm End: 2011/12/13 - 9:00pm Location: O'Reilly Media Speaker: Kyle Rankin Description: While it is fun to learn how to hack, sometimes it's tough to practice your skills without breaking any laws. It turns out if you have any consumer devices on your local network, you already have everything you need to practice penetration testing. In this talk I will discuss my experience with the Dlink DIR-685 Wireless N router and how with just a few basic skills I was able to find multiple exploits, including one that gave me root, all through the web interface. As I describe the attacks I'll demonstrate the exploits with a live demo. If you've ever wanted to get started with penetration testing of web services, this talk with introduce you to some basic concepts you can apply to all sorts of poorly-coded PHP sites. If you are interested in how to root consumer devices that don't already have special firmware, this talk will give you some pointers on how to break in via the web interface. -- Kyle Rankin NBLUG President The North Bay Linux Users' Group http://nblug.org IRC: greenfly(a)irc.freenode.net #nblug kyle(a)nblug.org
