UNF is hosting a cybersecurity showcase the Oct. 19th - 21st and on the 21st they are doing a capture the flag contest.
This can be solo or in teams with a maximum of 3 people per team. Does anyone want to be on my team? I did SANS Netwars in March and came in 14th out of like a 100 people. I am not saying I'm a badass by any means but it was a lot of fun. I think, with some of the people in jaxlug, we can do pretty good. Also, two of our members will be presenting at this showcase, Johannes who just did "IPv6 in an Hour" and Kevin Johnson, whom we are all eagerly awaiting his Snort/Base presentation at some point :) Check out the info from Robert Jones below and let me know if you're interested in the CTF. -Brent PS I don't know if it's open to everyone but I am an infragard member *From:* Robert Jones [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Tuesday, August 23, 2011 12:57 PM *To:* rj *Subject:* CybersSecurity Showcase All, As some of you are aware, our annual security awareness conference will be in October this year in conjunction with the Cybersecurity Showcase at the University of North Florida. The event is co-sponsored by InfraGard, UNF, ISACA, and IIA and will be held October 19-21, 2011 at the University Center off Kernan Blvd. There are multiple tracks of presentations featuring the above-mentioned groups, as well as speakers for the schools of Health, Business, and Criminal Justice at UNF. At the moment, schedules have not been set for all of the speakers, but some events are set and we need to get an idea of how many of you might attend. A more formal registration will take place later. On Wednesday, October 19, ISACA is hosting a full day of demonstrations by SANS instructors Johannes Ullrich and Kevin Johnson. Johannes will discuss packet analysis and Kevin will discuss web app hacking. CPE's will be offered through ISACA and there will be a cost to attend, but I don't know how much yet. On Friday, October 21, InfraGard will host a Capture/Hack the Flag event. UNF Computer Science Professor Layne Wallace will set up the network for teams to attack. If you or someone you know would like to participate, let me know. There will be a nominal charge for this event also. It's important that you let me know as soon as possible so that enough space and parking passes can be allocated for the event (in case this contest is moved to the old AOL building; no passes are needed for the University Center). There will also be speakers on a variety of security-related topics throughout the day on Thursday and Friday that you may attend without charge. A full schedule will be provided later. Space has also been reserved for tables or booths if your company would like to help underwrite the event. You can contact me or one of the other board members for further details. Thanks, Robert Jones Jacksonville InfraGard President
