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

This is what your therapist/manager/HR rep was talking about. It’s time to go hang out and relax with some pals!
SecKC - March 2023
Well, last time we extended make excuses and pre-drinking into a full on experience. This time let's see if we can pull off a meeting also!
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 - November 2022
Are we just finishing up HaKCerween? or getting ready for HaKCsgiving? Either way Join us in November for all the awesomeness! These flags are out on the server feeling lonely, they need you to find them! Big thanks to the folks at Crowdstrike for sponsoring this meeting!

Homecoming! That's right y'all, we're back at the newly renamed Kanza Hall! Come and see us at G&C!
A big shout to Atredis for sponsorship this month! Thanks so much!
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 - June 2022
Bring your friends, beer, and card games. It’s SecKC’s annual picnic and it’s going to be a blast! Get ready for fun games, even more fun people, and free foods! This is SecKC’s second annual picnic and it’s going to be amazing! Don’t miss it!
SecKC - May 2022
SecKC is live on Patch Tuesday in May (that's the 10th for those of you lucky enough to not know)! Kickin' it old school, in person at Barley's in Shawnee! We've got news, music, and food, oh my! We've got Getting to Blinky part 2 and villiages! We've got this whole social vibe you're finally coming to terms with the fact that you need!
SecKC - February 2022
SecKC is back for another dose of February awesomeness, still virtual because of uncle Omi.
Need a fun small hardware project? Build a pwnagotchi and amaze your friends! Love open source? Hate open source? Wondering what the source is and who opened it in the first place? Hang with us while we seek to sort the source!
SecKC - January 2022
Log4Shell holiday memorial event. Pour one out (or more to the point, into) all the poor folks who had to burn the second half of December dealing with the ever moving remediation. Also known as the first meeting in 2022.
Emperor Lrrr from Omicron Persei Eight tells us we must do this remotely or they will destroy the Earth, so join us on Zoom or on YouTube and come hang in the discord to chat with all the hakcers.
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.
SecKC - September 2021
We will be back at recordBar again (yay!) with our monthly meeting. However, this won't be any normal meeting. SecKC is celebrating its very own 10th birthday this month. To celebrate that, we will be having some fun by letting you guys have some fun. We will be having some open mic time for you lovely folks to share something with SecKC. Be that a project or a fun story, we love it all the same! We'll even have some tables for you to set your cool projects up to show us. This will be like a science fair but with RGB!
