It’s that time again: SWAPVEMBER is back! Come hang out for the meeting, then stick around to swap all your techy treasures with fellow haKCers. Old computers, books, stickers, gadgets, mystery cables you’ve been hoarding since 2009... if it’s techy and you’re done with it, bring it! Shoot, feel free to bring things that aren’t techy. Someone out there needs your junk drawer more than you do.

More details on talks coming soon!

If you haven’t been to Knuckleheads or want to make sure you’re not stuck on the wrong side of the train, check out the venue info page!

6:15 - 6:20    Getting the most out of infosec cons - @TBD

6:20 - 6:50    AI-Driven Attacks at the Kernel Level - @Wes Peck

AI is pushing kernel-level tradecraft into far more hands than before, increasing the prevalence of advanced persistent threats. Drawing on original research and field-tested practice, this session covers the offensive capabilities behind kernel-resident threats and the discovery techniques that cut through the evasion.

7:00 - 7:45    MO votes, MO problems - @Mick Baccio

Why do we vote on Tuesdays? What the hell is a caucus? And why does everyone obsess over the president while ignoring the people deciding what happens down the street?

Former White House Threat Intelligence Branch Chief and presidential campaign CISO Mick Baccio takes a slightly irreverent tour through American elections, how we got here, and where cybersecurity and public trust fit in. Come for the weird history. Leave knowing why your county commissioner matters and why “all politics is local” is more than a bumper sticker.

8:15 - ??? Mad Beatz by the amazing @j0nny54l1v3
