Re: [Hampshire] Christmas Lecture

[Victor Churchill]

Indeed, fascinating talk and it was good that there was enough time for
Mike to go into a little detail on the background.

A good venue for the meal afterwards, and good company for the evening.

Thanks to Tim for introducing the Christmas Lecture innovation for the LUG,
and to Mike Bond for giving the time to come and present the talk.

I am also sorely disappointed I couldn't make it. The topic sounded

Congratulations on getting a good speaker on an interesting topic, I'm only 
sorry I was not able to attend. I look forward to the next year!

[Hampshire] Christmas Lecture

[Chris Dennis]

The first ever HantsLUG Christmas Lecture was held on Saturday 1 
December in the Zepler Building at Southampton University.


The speaker was Mike Bond (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mkb23/), of the 
Computer Laboratory at Cambridge University, where he has been 
researching security in the banking system for 10 or more years.


He gave us a talk on "Hacking bank cards: 10 years of tools." – a 
subject that sounded distinctly illegal to me.  In fact the work on 
computer security done at Cambridge has been an important tool for 
improving the complex security measures that banks need to use. 
Although publicly criticising any attempts to break their systems, the 
banks do in fact cooperate with this type of research because it helps 
them to develop better ones.


Mike went into a lot of technical detail about how PIN numbers and ATMs 
work – and how it's possible in some circumstances to bypass the 
security entirely.


Although only about ten members were present, the talk was well received 
and provoked some interesting questions and discussion.


The lecture was followed by dinner at the Mercure Dolphin Hotel in 
Southampton, where a select group indulged in food and wine and some 
quality conversation.


Hopefully this was just the first of a new tradition of Christmas 
Lectures at HantsLUG.


cheers

Usual drill applies - I'll be there to let people in and direct you

Re: [Hampshire] Christmas Lecture

[Stephen Davies]

I'd like to go to both but at the moment I'm stuck(not literally) in the 
basement of the new Airport in Amman so I can't commit to the meal which 
is a shame as I'm in agreement with Alan in that I'd like to socialise 
with fellow LUG members after the lecture
Perhaps there could be an 'alternative meal' for those who can't commit 
to the bookable meal?

Yes, I'll be going to the lecture and the meal afterwards too.  And
