SecTalks LON monthly meetup (online event!)

Hey SecTalks! from March 2020 we'll be hosting our events online - at least until we're all able to buy toilet paper again. This month, instead of a capture the flag challenge we'll be searching for bugs and vulnerabilities together in some common debian packages.

This will be a bit of an experimental format, so bear with us... but I'm pretty confident we'll find some interesting things between us (and trade tips and techniques).

You will need to be ready with the following:

• Membership in our Slack channel. To obtain this, you'll need an invite: send me (Patrick) a private message on meetup with your email address and the solution to this encrypted phrase:

fvb hyl sprlsf av il lhalu if h nybl.

• Your laptop, for hacking

• Access to a computer running Debian, or a Debian derivative (eg, Virtualbox running Kali). https://www.osboxes.org/debian has pre-built Virtualbox images if you need one.

• AFL (https://github.com/google/AFL) installed on the computer that is running Debian.

• Some beer or cider to drink while hacking at home, if you like to drink beer or cider while hacking at home

• You'll probably end up writing a little bit of code, so make sure your favourite compiler and/or scripting language is set up. Or vim.

Once you have a login, at the appropriate time (6:30pm on Thursday, don't get it wrong!) join the Slack channel #sectalks_lon in Sectalks Slack and instructions will be posted. You can also join the slack channel at other times, it's filled with fun people.

Make sure you're able to log in to Slack before the event, and request an invite per above if you can't!

As I mentioned above, this is a bit of an experiment with a new format. Ping me with your feedback and thoughts!

This will be an online meetup. Don't go to Cisco's office, security will be very confused.
