New (first) Logo for NoVA Hackers

Huge thanks to +Brett Thorson (aka @handynerds ) for his work on getting the NoVA Hackers group an official logo: 

October meeting: 10/21/13 (Date of meeting has been delayed one week from usual)

The October NoVA Hackers meeting will be held at the usual place, a week later than usual (to avoid the holiday and coincide with BSidesDC), with the usual requirements for putting your name on the list.

You should join the NoVA Hackers Google Group (by getting or asking for an invitation) to see the posting which will tell you:

• Who is presenting, and their topic
• Location of the meeting
• How to sign up to attend (facility requires a list of attendees prior to arrival at the door, and be sure to have your government issued ID when you arrive)

If you are already a member of the group, then click here for the information.

July 2013 Videos

Here are the videos from the July 2013 NoVA Hackers Meeting.







I tried to set the thumbnail to the speaker's name and topic, but either YouTube is placating me by saying it accepted my change and not changing it, or it just takes a bit of time to update.  Not sure, but hopefully it will update soon.

Cheers!

New Location and July Meeting moved

We have a new location, the details have been updated on the Time/Location page: http://novahackers.blogspot.com/p/time-and-location.html

NoVA Hackers March 2013 Meeting Videos

I volunteered to record speakers at the NoVA Hackers meeting that wanted to be recorded. It was actually fun, and thanks again to SureFire for his help too. The first 3 videos have their slides overlaid on the screen, but with the resolution of the video, I wasn't sure it was necessary, so the last 2 speakers don't have the overlay. I'd be interested to hear your opinion. I can tell you that NOT overlaying the slides makes processing A LOT faster. I've got a youtube playlist of all the speakers. A list of all the speakers and a link to their talk.

• Michael Wenthold - Log Analysis with Graylog2
• Mike Willis - Warsploit: Gaming + hacking
• Liam Randall - Bro IDS and the Bro Network Programming Language
• Ari Elias - Bachrach - A better way of measuring password complexity
• Joshua Pitts - Backdooring Win32 Portable Executables

And down below, each of the speakers with an embedded video, ready to go.
