In this third installment Kevin is going to profile his company from an “outsider view” and start to narrow his understanding of the threat landscape.

We will discuss techniques of utilizing external data repositories to profile our company, as well as begin more intrusive techniques to determine vulnerable system.

The Cowtown Computer Congress is excited to announce that Mitch Altman (Cornfield Electronics) will be holding an electronics class at the CCCKC Caves on Saturday May 9th.  Mitch is the inventor of cool gadgets such as the Brain Machine and the TV-B-Gone.  Mitch will be explaining how these projects work, came together, and will have kits available for you to build!  He (and other CCCKC members) will help teach you how to solder these kits..  It is going to be a great experience!

If you have access to any of the following, please bring:

1) Soldering Iron
2) Solder
3) Wire of various small gauges
4) Wire strippers would not hurt either
5) Solder wicks or solder suckers

Otherwise you can use some community equipment — SEE YOU THERE!
