Last night I shared about how Ryan and I went through most of the challenges in Applied Security’s HackIT 2.0 contest at ShmooCon 2008 with the group at AHA! I spoke about how we approached and solved most of the challenges, and I thought I would share the process with whoever else was interested. I posted an informal report describing the methodologies and how to run/use the tools that we employed during the contest. The report is located on AHA!’s wiki, so if you’re interested, it’s located here on the meeting page. There is also a link to a PDF report if you want to take it off line. Also, if you are in Austin, Texas, (or the surrounding area) you should check out AHA! We get together and present as many short DefCon-style talks as we can before we get kicked out of Mangia Pizza. We share a lot of interesting/fun/useful ideas and information with each other. Plus, if you are a remote worker, it’s nice opportunity to get out and meet other “hackers” and shoot the breeze. We are a very welcoming bunch, but if you do come, be prepared to present.
