PYPTUG Meeting - February 23rd (Security and Forensics) -

PYthon Piedmont Triad User Group meeting

Come join PYPTUG at out next monthly meeting (February 23rd 2015) to learn more about the Python programming language, modules and tools. Python is the perfect language to learn if you've never programmed before, and at the other end, it is also the perfect tool that no expert would do without. Monthly meetings are in addition to our project nights.

What

Meeting will start at 5:30pm.

We will open on an Intro to PYPTUG and on how to get started with Python, PYPTUG activities and members projects, then on to News from the community, including some details on a network forensics shell.

Then on to the main talk.

Main Talk

by Adam Sheesley
Title: "Hell is Other People's Code"

Bio: Adam Sheesley is a Penetration Tester who has experience and training in vulnerability assessment and (network/physical) penetration testing. Experienced as a web application developer, network administrator, and penetration tester, Adam has a broad knowledge of in-depth knowledge of implementing systems, breaking into networks, and training duck-sized horses.

Abstract: 

This talk will cover modifications and additions that Adam made to a fantastic tool, Responder.py put out by SpiderLabs. 

As Responder was originally a NetBIOS spoofer we will cover a brief overview of the NetBIOS protocol. Specifically the pieces dealing with authentication. We will cover the motivations behind the modifications, the reasoning process for modifying existing code versus writing something new, and the challenges he encountered during the project. Finally we will cover a collection of other popular information security tools written in Python with a "Security is fun an so can you" approach.

 HAB Project

We will replace the lightning talk sessions for this meeting, since we cancelled the project night, and work some on the High Altitude Balloon Project (Team Near Space Circus).
