December SecKC

December 2024 SecKC

Thought you were done with us?!

Not quite yet!

Come join us at UpDown in Crossroads for our December SecKC hangout! Get ready to get social for the last time of 2024. We’ll be passing out free tokens and free drinks in you show up before we run out!

Perhaps even a tournament of sorts for a free piece of hardware swag?!?! If we get over 30 people to come out, there could be even MORE!!

Folks will start congregating around 5pm, but no pressure! We’ll start getting rowdy at 6pm!

You’re running out of time to prove you’ll be there, rather than square. *insert generic Santa threat*

SecKC - March 2024

SecKC March Sponsor: ~AVAILABLE~

WHERE: Tall Trellis Brew Co. - 25600 West Valley Parkway, Olathe, KS, 66061 United States

From college degenerate to government sanctioned degenerate.

From dumpster scavenged trash to clever hacking tools.

Join us for a dumpster fire of pure, only-slightly-adulterated excellence! March's SecKC meeting is sure to leave you with handy takeaways and creative tips to apply in shenanigous ways.

We’ll also have TOOOL KC & TOOOL DSM hosting a lockpicking table and FREE HAM RADIO TESTING AGAIN! Register for testing here: https://ham.study/sessions/65e0b3ac1878a1f51402d9fd/1

6:35 - 7:20 On The Importance of Community (or: How SecKC Helped Turn a Curious College Kid into a Fed Hacker) - @sysaaron

Aaron Scantlin (aka sysaaron) came to his first SecKC meeting in 2014 all the way from Columbia, MO - and would continue to drive back and forth damn near every Patch Tuesday until he moved back to KC during the pandemic in 2021. Sound crazy? Probably not as crazy as Aaron's story of coming up in the infosec field! Come listen to his rambling eloquent recollection of his path into infosec, and specifically how coming to and volunteering with SecKC helped both the local security community and his personal career grow over the years.

7:30 - 8:30 Tactics of a Trash Panda - @Angel Gamboa

In a world of custom hardware implants, specialized spy tools, and outrageous prices for performing red team activities, where does a person sponsored by no state or agency stand in manufacturing their own tooling? In this talk we embrace what it is to be a true hacker, using resources around you to accomplish your missions! Join as as we discuss how you can cheaply create your own gadgets and tooling for physical engagements!

8:30+ Dope tracks & chatter

SecKC - January 2023

Woot!, or Toot! as the case may be. Shake off the post-holiday fog and come out to SecKC! This month we're having a new edition of drunk haKCers debate technology. That's right, Twitter turned into a Muskovian hellscape so about 80% of the infosec people all went "nah" and migrated over to various Mastodon instances. But what does that even mean, and is it a good thing?

SecKC - September 2022

Do you remember?

The 13th night of September?

SecKC was LIT AF

Daniel Charboneau will be talking about Confidential Computing (It’s coming whether you are ready or not) and many of us were at summer camp (D3FC0N) this year and so much happened. Covid was caught. Black badges were won. HUGE badges were bought. Unspeakable things were done to power the huge badge. An ad hoc badgemaking party was held. So much hacking! Oh, and OMG scorpion shots! Hang with our panel for the review!

SecKC - November 2021

Hey all you haKCers! This November we're the official Missouri F12 memorial SecKCast, no more developer mode for you. Speaking of official HaKCer tools, tune in on YouTube to hear us talk about L0phtCrack, facebook, meta, the army and their offensive cyber ops, the NRA, and I'm sure Mike Parsons will come up at some point. Hop on Discord to chat, ask questions, talk shit, or just hang with us.

See you on patch Tuesday at 8:00 PM CST!

SecKC - October 2021

Pssst! Hey kid, want a balloon? No? How about an evil twin? That's right folks, it's October and SecKC is all about the pumpkin spice flavored hakcing. Come out to recordBar and get some sec, some tech, and then get wreck (not really unless you also get a ride). Can't wait to see your vaccinated faces again so come chill with your homies, compare notes on life as a 5g enabled zombie, and experience the cool talks and sweet beats.
