We had a much larger turnout this time around. There were probably about 10 serious people with a few more in and out. We got a special presentation from a friend of ours who wanted to practice his Blackhat talk, so we didn’t end up watching any videos.
The agenda ending up being:
- Blackhat presentation dry-run.
- Aleksey reversed some storm malware, found a carding forum, and broke into it! He showed us some of the things he learned about their community by looking through the forum.
- Aleksey talked about his experience competing in the Defcon CTF prequals this weekend. All the questions from the competition are already up at Nops R’ Us but Aleksey was kind enough to upload his own work to the ISIS webserver.
- Erik and I made fun of Synology for all the bugs we found in their webapps this weekend. I’m waiting to release anything publicly until I have proof of concept exploits.
People in attendance: 6 or 7
- Dan Kaminsky interview - link

- Unusual Web Bugs - video - slides

We’re having another meeting next week and I’m taking suggestions for topics. An [obligatory] brief overview of the Debian OpenSSL bug will be done.
This summer the ISIS Lab will be hosting a weekly Information Security Video/Study Group every Wednesday from 6:30pm until people get bored (probably ~8-9pm).
I’ll show up in the lab and hook up our gigantic LCD TV to show a different video each week and host a discussion. Afterwards, I’ll do a review of each meeting on this blog. We will default to a FreeBSD Kernel Internals DVD course if no other videos are suggested (I need to brush up on my Operating Systems). If you have a specific video you’d like to see/discuss from Defcon, ShmooCon, HITBSecConf, Blackhat, RECon, or elsewhere then please suggest watching it!
Meetings will take place in the ISIS Lab (Room 219) located in Polytechnic University. The street address is 6 Metrotech Center, Brooklyn, NY 11201. If you’re not a regular, then I’m going to need to sign you in so call the lab phone at (718) 260-3986 when you get here (regulars get the sekret c0deword). I’ll keep a bunch of menu’s in the lab and we’ll make an order for takeout shortly after everyone gets here.
This event is open to the public (duh) so please invite your friends. Send all comments, suggestions or videos you’d like to watch to me, Dan, at dguido@gmail.com.
The first meetup is this Wednesday, May 14th. See you there!
