Class Summary:
Ever wondered what it is like being a security analyst? Here is your chance. DC919 will be hosting an exciting 4-hour class taught by @Mr_Forensics and @S3curityN. This class will arm students with the knowledge needed to identify malicious threats and characterize their behavior.

Security BSides is a community-driven framework for building events for and by cyber security community members. The goal is to expand the spectrum of conversation beyond the traditional confines of space and time. It creates opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening.
Security is top of mind across the entire sphere of IT and the world beyond. Therefore, more people and organizations are interested in the next new thing in security. BSides is the place where these people come to collaborate, learn and share.
With many tech-companies, colleges and universities in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and surrounding areas, it is also an international center of innovation in the security industry.

Aug 9 2019 – CTF Meeting
To All the Hackers of DC919:
https://www.meetup.com/DefCon919/events/262061475/
Hope this finds you well! Are you trying to up your game for CTF challenge? Can we help?
Knowing the enemy or preparing to pen-test, the hacking challenges represent real-world puzzles every day.
To help with this, DC919 will be hosting a conference call hack session on the 2nd Friday of this month, August 9th from 7-11. Here we hope to hack common vulnerable images, on our own machines.
Each month we’ll announce a new image that will be our target. Prepare by installing VMWare, VBox, or Whatever, download the image and making sure you can ping it before we get started. Loop into Slack if you need help with this.
All skill levels are welcome, but this is a peer-learning event without a leader. Newbs will want to partner with someone experienced. Everyone will work at their own pace and discuss the challenge in Real Time on the call.
Thanks for reading, and considering!
This month we’ll be working on:
