Ethical and legal, as well as liability aspects of security testing are covered as we investigate the strange world of computer insecurity from our powerful Penguin perspectives.

Hackfests are specially scheduled demonstrations that include open member participation hacking, cracking, exploits and IDS. Hackfest labs are open encroachment events with designated targets, to include shared network insecurity of the most extreme style. Extensive setup and tear down, forensics and IDS are required by volunteers, therefore Hackfest labs are team lab format events to make the best experience for all attendees.

Hack test your installations, networks, and program source using Linux Security distro tools.
(Arrangements are happily accepted to coordinate extra credit with local College teachers.)

Monthly security presentations and lectures, with open PLUG participation occur, on the second
Tuesday of every month. This interactive presentation format covers industry news, specific protection issues in linux, ongoing industry tool development, RFC scripts, exploits and net neutrality.

Meeting facilities generously provided by John C. Lincoln Hospital Cowden Center.

Active Directory/sLDAP integrated with proxy authentication ensures HIIPA compliance. Full insecure networking is exclusive to HackFests Labs. Content presenters need to be able to use Microsoft Systems at John C. Lincoln's Cowden Center, for displaying HTML, OpenOffice, Video or browser presentation content via AD proxy. There is an open call for Samari, DVL, Backtrack or other Security Distro (subject) presentations and participants, especially for IDS and forensics during Quarterly HackFests.
