NOTE THE TIME CHANGE. OUR MEETUP IS NOW ON TUESDAY EVENINGS GOING FORWARD. WE HAVE MADE THIS CHANGE WITH THE HOPE THAT MORE PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEND OUR MEETUPS IN THE COMING YEAR.
Our speakers this month are Faye Archip and A.J. Butt.
Faye Archip has a BFA in Theatre Arts, from UTA. She has been involved with Linux from the early 2000’s. Her technical abilities range from Linux system administration, network administration, to electronic circuit design, implementation, and debugging. Some of her past employers and job positions in the tech world include roles at New York Air Brake TDS, Cloudera, Rackspace and Spectrum. Her artistic endeavors, include running lights, sound and video, at the now closed “The Roost” and video lighting work for a twitch streamer. You can read more on her blog at fayearchip.name.
A.J. Butt is a digital marketing hired gun, media production ninja, and former infosec noob. He’s worked in a variety of industries ranging from legal organizations, to video game publishers, to event production, and more. Aside from working to earn enough to finally payoff his student loan debt, he is active in the hacker and information security community. He regularly attends hacker conferences and meetups around the county, participates in online CTF’s, is a locksport enthusiast, and a general security and privacy academic. His favorite drink is a whiskey sour (*hint hint*).
Faye and A.J. are going to present a personal internet security presentation geared for the creative, non-Linux/computer wizard. They will be going over a number of introductory infosec concepts centered around ways to protect yourself from “doxxing,” the colloquial term for the unauthorized revelation of personal data about yourself online via the actions of a third party. Topics they will touch on will include a brief overview of the history of doxxing on the internet, ways to protect your online persona from real life, attack vectors, attack vectors, acceptable risk, EFF Dice, and password managers. This will all be presented in the context of a real-world doxxing demonstration, where A.J. will be showing the steps, methodologies, and tools he used to doxx Faye.
