August's Phoenix Linux User Group Security Test Team Lab will center around Puppet.
We will have a one-ish hour of presentation, a puppet test lab
including a fully fleshed out securely setup puppet.
We will take some fest time to show how easy it is to pull strings,
maintain configurations and standards in any network comprising two or
more systems in order to improve systems security, change policies or protect
systems in a hurry, or ensure that new systems are provisioned meeting
standards.
Bring your puppet recipes to wow us.
All PLUG events are full duplex,allowing for individual expansion
and enrichment as we follow our critical thought, rarely constrained by
anything other than setup time.
Dennis Kibbe, Adjunct Faculty at Mesa Community College, and regular
"iconic" figure at the PLUG InstallFests will be our Special Guest
FLAG, appearing with his exceedingly clean, carefully configured and
sticker decorated laptop (on it's own network), in immaculate geek shirt,
daring anyone to successfully encroach his linux. Dennis will give us a short
description of his linux system build at the end of the August lab.
Following PLUG Acceptable Security Test Team guidelines (to announce any and every
flag), you can social engineer, attempt to exploit services, and/or do
anything else you can get away with to take this FLAG during our 3 hour
"Puppet Theatre" session. Accolades and prizes will be available for
any success. http://www.linkedin.com/in/denniskibbe
We will have the disk burner setup (this time using local disk [rather
than USB - which was timing out and causing corrupted burns in July]) and
be able to make persistent pendrives on the spot in Knoppix, BackTrack4 or Ubuntu.
Bring your media.
Again, we will be taking a stab at lock picking with a table with
tools and locks setup to ensure everyone can easily master these simple fun skills.
Network and other facilities generously provided by the Foundation for
Blind Children. PLUG's Security Team provides symbiotic linux build services to the
Foundation for Blind Children by setting up FOSS systems to be evaluated for
Accessibility use by blind children and others with disabilities at the school. http://www.seeitourway.org/contactUs.html
There is an open call for presentations and participants for HackFests.
We especially want to thank the PLUG community for turning out to make these
events exciting and fun as well as incredibly educational.
Take the black pill and leave forever the
Security Matrix; HackFest with PLUG!
Everything starts at around 10:00 and should break down around 13:00!
I’m curious about the results of this event. I just started working with Linux for an online Las Vegas security company and am eager to learn as much as possible about Linux’s abilities which I am relatively new too.
