Lockpicking Class at JaxHax Makerspace
I will be teaching a free lockpicking class at the JaxHax Makerspace in Downtown Jacksonville on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 at 7:00pm. This class is open to the public, and I definitely recommend checking out the Makerspace if you haven't already.
In the class, I am going to cover the basics:
- Types of locks and lockpicks
- Why lockpicking is possible
- Single pin picking
- Raking
- Shimming
This will include a hands on demonstration, I would like everyone to be be able to pick at least 1 lock during the class.
For anyone that can't attend, I am hoping that I can record the class.
Top 10 Open Source Security Tools
Gene Cronk and I presented the "Top 10 Open Source Security Tools" last week at the Jacksonville Linux Users Group, thanks to everyone who attended.
Most of the content was demonstration, but you can download the slides here.
If you would like to see any of the topics covered in more depth, or want to see any other tools covered, please let us know!
Jax Locksport
Hey everyone,
We're having our first Jax Locksport meeting in 2 weeks, on Friday, March 2. We're meeting at Tijuana Flats in San Marco (5635 San Jose Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL, 32207) on the first Friday of every month at 6:30pm, with the Jax2600/DC904 group. We will continue to combine the two groups until we have enough members and are stable enough to branch it off into a separate meeting.
We've got plenty of locks and picks, people who are eager to help teach others, and we're planning on having some kind of competition/giveaway. It should be a lot of fun, and I hope to see a lot of people there!
WEP Cracking
I'm presenting at the Jacksonville Linux Users Group (JaxLUG) today, my presentation is on the security flaws of the WEP protocol, and demonstrating how easy it is to subvert. Thanks in advance for everyone planning on being there today.
You can download a PDF of the slides here.
Thanks!
Security Competition
I'm getting prepared for UNF's first Cybersecurity Awareness Showcase. On Friday, they're having a Defend The Flag competition, and my team is just about ready. They're setting each team up with a mock enterprise network, and it's our job to keep the attacking team out.
Impostors!
Robin Gersabeck and I have created an online deception game called Impostors! It's currently in public beta, and we're encouraging everyone to test and out and give us feedback!
Visit my Impostors page for more info, or start playing the game.
NES PC (Lintendo)
This is one of my projects from late 2007, but I never documented the process. Here are the photos of how I made it.
The idea of this project was to put a mini-ITX motherboard inside on an NES case. It would be used for emulated NES gaming in Linux (hence the nickname "Lintendo"), and eventually try to use the original controllers (that is a separate project, still in progress).
Unfortunately, it was already complete before I started documenting it, so you can't really see all the steps, but you do get a good idea.
We're starting with a non-working NES, with all of the insides removed.
New Blog
I've recently switched my website from Google Sites to WordPress. Still working on the way I want everything to look, but the transition has been positive so far.
My main complaint about Google sites was that I could not find a good, clean way for people to post comments. There were some workarounds, but most of them had already been deprecated and no longer functioned. The whole situation irritated me so much that I didn't want to post anything. Since that is no longer the problem, I'm looking forward to getting my upcoming projects posted.
Leave a comment if you have any suggestions, I'm looking forward to getting some feedback!
