Hello World!

Come meet up with fellow hackers, cybersecurity enthusiasts, and the like! The first Friday of every month we get together at the Midsouth Makers, share some food (probably pizza), and share stories/info on infosec. We are always looking for new presentors or topic suggestions!

May 3, 2024 -- Car Hacking

Meetup Link Cars have been heavily engineered to be physically secure, but how safe are their electronics? How much can they be remotely secured, tracked, controlled? How often is this already happening? This month's topic is car hacking. We will discuss infotainment systems, CANbus/OBD2, cellular/wireless attacks... and anything else we feel like talking about.

April 5, 2024 -- Lockpicking and other bypasses to Physical Access

"To a hacker, a closed door is an insult, and a locked door is an outrage." --Steven Levy, (from Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution)

There's always been a large overlap between hackers and the sport/hobby of lockpicking. Let's discuss physical access security, mechanical locks, and anything else we feel like. The hackerspace also has some practices locks as well! I have a single pick set I can share but if you have a set please bring them as well (-:

March 2, 2024 -- Social Engineering with generative AI

From kidnapping scares, to fake employment applications, to 25-million dollar scams, generative AI has already become quite a powerful tool for social engineers. Let's talk about headlines, our experiences so far, strategies used in attacking, and how to mitigate attacks from this new threat vector.

February 2, 2024

Can't really escape discussion of AI this and AI that these days, huh? A friend of mine wrote a book not on using AI but on attacking the AI itself, and I'm just about finished reading it. So I figure a good topic for a round-table discussion today would be anything AI related in cybersecurity.

January 5, 2024

HackerMane will be doing a presentation on introductory USB attacks including Rubber Ducky and OMG devices, as well as how to create your own with cheap dev boards/microcontrollers.
As always, there will be free food!

December meeting cancelled

Sorry folks, but we will be unable to host on the 1st and the rest of the month is generally too busy. We will be returning in January!
