From The Trenches: A Guide To HACKERS ON PLANET EARTH — Sidepocket :..>HACKERS ON PLANET EARTH or HOPE has had a very long history. From it’s chaotic beginnings in 1994, moving to the PUCK building, back to the HOTEL PENNSYLVANIA before it has been torn down and now moving into the ass end of Queens NY. As a long time attendee, staff member and veteran of the convention, DCG 201’s Co-Founder Sidpeocket will go over this years convention, highlighting the various activities, talks, workshops, parties and general tips and tricks to survive A New HOPE in 2022.

Talk TBA :..> TBA :.>Bio: TBA

Black Hat Webinar: INFOSEC LESSONS FROM THE WAR IN UKRAINE :..>From the Ukrainian International Legion and Cyber Memes Forces to internet army recruitment and operational planning via social media and instant messaging platforms, the War in Ukraine has pushed cyber operations into unprecedented territory. Aggressors around the world are watching closely and evolving their tactics and strategies as innovations emerge. We are entering a new era of online conflict and it isn’t pretty. As defenders, we have to up our game or be left vulnerable.

Based on real-time research conducted since the war began, this talk will cover the recent evolution of the threat to our networks, data, people, and infrastructure, as well as enterprise and government operations. Topics will include the large-scale emergence of rogue (and sometimes “rogue”) hacker groups, crowdsourced OSINT, ubiquitous influence operations, new forms of network attack, exploitation of software dependencies and supply chains, and the combined de-platforming might of hundreds of companies worldwide, among numerous other topics.

We’ll end this talk with techniques to counter emerging threats, including ways to increase situational awareness, improve threat modeling, manage our attack surfaces, gain insight into new threat actor capabilities and TTPs, and better inform risk calculations and defensive investments. You’ll leave with an improved awareness of new threats emerging from the War in Ukraine and a toolkit of techniques to better protect your enterprise.

Welcome to the May 2021 DCG 201 Meet Up!

Hiya Fellas.

It’s been a long time. We miss you.

We know it’s been frustrating seeing meetings change at the last minute and delay after delay. We are even more frustrated as we love meeting up with all of you fine hacker folks but adulting comes to bite us in the ass than rolling our own crypto built in jSON during the log4j crisis.

That ends now!

Join us for an unusual meet-up at unusual hours during Memorial Day!

Be the first to test us out experimenting meeting at a venue we have loved (and who have loved us) for years but never had the time to put something like this together! (We still love and are working with Sub Culture just want to explore more of Jersey City, we will be back soon.)

Smaller, more direct, intimate.

Lots to talk about like our upcoming DCG 201 Meet Ups, HushCon, SummerC0n, A New Hope, DEF CON 30…

This will be a meet-up you don’t want to miss for those who attend will be part of and help shape a new chapter in DCG 201!

NOTE ABOUT LIVE STREAMS: Since we are testing out a new venue, if we are unable to stream that day we will instead stream the same content Tuesday at 9pm EST.

When (Fire)Fox Gets Angy! A Web Browser For Red Teamers :..>When most users, hackers and cybersecurity folks think of web browsers we think of the need for only privacy and defensive security. However, after playing countless CTF Tournaments where a major category is web security, I started to wonder, what would a web browser look like if it was built for offensive capabilities over defensive. In this short presentation I show off a modified version of Firefox with a curated list of extensions and tools that allow everything from script injections, man in the middle attacks, in-depth forensics, vlun scanning and even launching into a command line shell directly in the browser. After the presentation, attendees will be able to try out the modified browser in person and the download for it’s Firefox Profile will be posted on the DCG 201 blog!

Black Hat Webinar: Inside the Cyber Safety Review Board :..>Ahead of the inaugural meeting of the new Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), join the Board's Chair and Deputy Chair, Rob Silvers (DHS Undersecretary for Policy) and Heather Adkins (head of Security, Google), for an exclusive conversation with Jeff Moss. Rob and Heather will preview how the Board will approach its first review, which will focus on the vulnerabilities in the Log4j software library, and drive actionable recommendations to better protect the nation's networks and infrastructure.

Established through President Biden's Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, the CSRB is an unprecedented public-private initiative that will bring together government and industry leaders. Members will take a deep dive into the most significant cybersecurity incidents, conduct after action analysis, and identify lessons learned. The CSRB does not have regulatory powers and is not an enforcement authority. Its purpose is to identify and share lessons learned to enable advances in national cybersecurity.

:.>Bio: Jeff Moss, also known as Dark Tangent, is an American hacker, computer and internet security expert who founded the Black Hat and DEF CON computer security conferences. In April 2011 Mr. Moss was appointed as the Chief Security Officer for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a non-profit whose responsibilities include coordinating and ensuring the security, stability and resiliency of the Internet's unique global identifiers as well as maintaining the root zone of the Internet.

Mr. Robert Silvers serves as the Under Secretary for Policy at the Department of Homeland Security, and will serve as the inaugural Chair of the Cyber Safety Review Board. He is responsible for driving policy and implementation plans across all of DHS's missions, including counterterrorism; cybersecurity, infrastructure security, and resilience; border security and immigration; international affairs; and trade and economic security.

Heather Adkins will serve as Deputy Chair of the Cyber Safety Review Board. She is a 19-year Google veteran and founding member of the Google Security Team. As Sr Director of Information Security, she has built a global team responsible for maintaining the safety and security of Google's networks, systems and applications.

McDoxxalds: Hacking The Worlds Largest Fast Food Chain :..> McDonald's is the world's largest restaurant chain by revenue, serving over 69 million customers daily in over 100 countries across 37,855 outlets, is the world's second-largest private employer with 1.7 million employees and the ninth-highest global brand valuation as of 2018. And like with many large targets, it's ripe to be hacked! Join our Co-Founder in this In-Person EXCLUSIVE talk as we take a deep dive into the McDonald's tech ice burg as we find out why certain items are on the menu, why the ice cream machines are always broken (and how to fix them), how they trained employees using video games, how to become a Ronald McDonald clown and more!

Exclusive to this presentation is a look at a McDonald's we have nicknamed “McDoxxalds” with pictures taken inside said restaurant that gives an hilarious glimpse into McDonald's security operations; proving their recent ad campaign slogan: WE KEEP GETTING HACKED!

Black Hat Webinar: Inside the Cyber Safety Review Board :..>Ahead of the inaugural meeting of the new Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), join the Board's Chair and Deputy Chair, Rob Silvers (DHS Undersecretary for Policy) and Heather Adkins (head of Security, Google), for an exclusive conversation with Jeff Moss. Rob and Heather will preview how the Board will approach its first review, which will focus on the vulnerabilities in the Log4j software library, and drive actionable recommendations to better protect the nation's networks and infrastructure.

Established through President Biden's Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, the CSRB is an unprecedented public-private initiative that will bring together government and industry leaders. Members will take a deep dive into the most significant cybersecurity incidents, conduct after action analysis, and identify lessons learned. The CSRB does not have regulatory powers and is not an enforcement authority. Its purpose is to identify and share lessons learned to enable advances in national cybersecurity.

:.>Bio: Jeff Moss, also known as Dark Tangent, is an American hacker, computer and internet security expert who founded the Black Hat and DEF CON computer security conferences. In April 2011 Mr. Moss was appointed as the Chief Security Officer for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a non-profit whose responsibilities include coordinating and ensuring the security, stability and resiliency of the Internet's unique global identifiers as well as maintaining the root zone of the Internet.

Mr. Robert Silvers serves as the Under Secretary for Policy at the Department of Homeland Security, and will serve as the inaugural Chair of the Cyber Safety Review Board. He is responsible for driving policy and implementation plans across all of DHS's missions, including counterterrorism; cybersecurity, infrastructure security, and resilience; border security and immigration; international affairs; and trade and economic security.

Heather Adkins will serve as Deputy Chair of the Cyber Safety Review Board. She is a 19-year Google veteran and founding member of the Google Security Team. As Sr Director of Information Security, she has built a global team responsible for maintaining the safety and security of Google's networks, systems and applications. She has an extensive background in practical security and has worked to build and secure some of the world's largest infrastructure. ======================================================

Welcome to the December 2021 DCG 201 Meet Up!

UPDATE: Due to the spike on Omnicron, we are unfortunately canceling our In-Person part of the meet up. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will be LIVE Streaming at 7pm EST!

It’s here. We FINALLY did it! We are at the final stretch of what was 2021. To who ever thought everything was going to return to normal (what ever the heck that means)…sorry? Man it’s been a wild ride, but we like to think we are ending this year a little better than we did last year.

So after some frustrations for the past couple of months of getting a hybrid style of meet-up off the ground, join us for some cozy shenanigans at our old haunt!

Get some awesome food at SubCulture, play games with us, build us a cardboard VR contraption, learn lockpicking, hack some Retro computers and who knows? Maybe you will even find Jesus in your code.

But we only have one question…

Can you make it dance?

Log4Jesus: How The Power Of Christ Compels Computers :..> Christiantiy is one the major three branches of what’s known as the Abrahamic religions and is one of if not one of the most popular religions world wide.

Welcome to the October 2021 DCG 201 Meet Up!

Getting back on our feet was difficult, like, ask the world on how hard it is right now with Delta and other insanity going on. But we did it. And we are back for the spookiest season in a BIG way:

Starting with this meet up, DCG 201 will be a Hybrid event!

This means we are welcome back to our old haunt SubCulture (we miss them so much) in Jersey City in addition to LIVE Streaming parts of our meet up online.

Each will cross over but have a slightly different experience with exclusives for both.

This will be a jam-packed event that has various talks and workshops, including hosting our fourth ever Hacktoberfest event, a new CTF for us to crack, building VR out of cardboard, an in-person exclusive talk, Hacker AF movies, lockpicking & more!

Welcome back!

Oh and the next day at 8pm EST, we going to stream BOTH events and we will be streaming Metroid Dread for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals such as Children’s Specialized Hospital under Child’s Play!

.::LIGHTNING TALKS::.

PRE SHOW :: Black Hat Webinar: Anti-Analysis Logic of Arm Malware on macOS

:..>Apple’s new M1 systems (aka Apple Silicon) offer a myriad of benefits …for both macOS users, and well, to malware authors as well. However, before analyzing malware targeting this platform, one must master various foundational topics such as understanding and reversing arm64 code.

In this talk, we’ll cover such topics and then apply them in order to analyze the anti-analysis logic of the first malicious program compiled to natively target Apple Silicon.

Armed (ha!) with the information and analysis techniques presented in this talk, you’ll leave well on the way to becoming a proficient macOS M1 malware analyst!

:..>Bio: Patrick Wardle is the founder of Objective-See. Having worked at NASA and the NSA, as well as presenting at countless security conferences, he is intimately familiar with aliens, spies, and talking nerdy. Patrick is passionate about all things related to macOS security and thus spends his days finding Apple 0days, analyzing macOS malware, and writing free open-source security tools to protect Mac users. All The World’s API

:..>In this talk, we’ll investigate what it takes to make common sense knowledge available as hackable APIs, and why it matters. The trivia like “how many people live in Paris” or “what novels did Kurt Vonnegut write” or “what’s the synopsis of Game of Thrones S04E05” is easily reachable for a human, but frequently surprisingly hard to gather in a machine-readable way. While many particular and specialized APIs do exist, we are studying the generic approach: how humanity’s open knowledge hubs like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap can be used to access structured knowledge from programming languages. A few practical libraries (of various maturity) presented, and potential future approaches discussed.

:..>Bio: Victor Shepelev aka zverok is a developer and writer from Ukraine. He works mainly in Ruby (and is involved in language documentation and evolution) but recently switched to Python to reach a broader audience with various passion projects of his, mostly related to open data and text processing.

Hacktoberfest 2021

:..>Hacktoberfest — brought to you by DigitalOcean in partnership with Intel, AppWrite & Deep Source — is a month-long celebration of open source software. Maintainers are invited to guide would-be contributors towards issues that will help move the project forward, and contributors get the opportunity to give back to both projects they like and others they’ve just discovered. No contribution is too small — bug fixes and documentation updates are valid ways of participating.

Hacktoberfest is open to everyone in our global community. Whether you’re a seasoned contributor or looking for projects to contribute to for the first time, you’re welcome to participate.

Pull requests can be made in any participating GitHub or GitLab hosted repository/project. Look for the ‘hacktoberfest’ topic to know if a repository/project is participating in Hacktoberfest. Pull requests must be approved by a maintainer of the repository/project to count.

You can sign up anytime between October 1 and October 31. Just be sure to sign up on the official Hacktoberfest website for your pull requests to count.

:..>In this talk, we will go over online & in-person the Do’s & Don’ts of Hacktoberfest 2021! We will go over how to sign up on GitHub & GitLab, how to do a Pull-Request on either platform and go over a list of various open-source projects with the #Hacktoberfest label we think need more attention than usual!

::Choose Trees or Tees::

Rather than receive t-shirts as swag, you can choose to have a tree planted in your name and help make Hacktoberfest 2021 more carbon neutral: https://tree-nation.com/profile/digitalocean

::Rules & Resources::

Tasks For Beginners

The following resources share repositories that curate tasks for beginners:

https://github.com/mungell/awesome-for-beginners

https://up-for-grabs.net/#/

https://www.firsttimersonly.com/

Share your Hacktoberfest journey by writing about your contributions on the DEV Hacktoberfest tag. DEV is a community visited by millions of programmers who are sharing their work to make others better: https://dev.to/t/hacktoberfest

Improve code quality of open-source projects you love. DeepSource Discover lists thousands of open-source projects that have code quality issues up for grabs.

RULES

  • Pull requests can be submitted to any opted-in repository on GitHub or GitLab.
  • The pull request must contain commits you made yourself.
  • If a maintainer reports your pull request as spam, it will not be counted toward your participation in Hacktoberfest.
  • If a maintainer reports behavior that’s not in line with the project’s code of conduct, you will be ineligible to participate.
  • To get a shirt, you must make four approved pull requests (PRs) on opted-in projects between October 1–31 in any time zone.
  • This year, the first 50,000 participants can earn a T-shirt.

A repository/project is considered to be participating in Hacktoberfest if the ‘hacktoberfest’ topic is present and is accepting public contributions via pull requests. An individual pull request can also be opted-in directly by adding the ‘hacktoberfest-accepted’ label.

A pull request is considered approved once it has an overall approving review from maintainers, or has been merged by maintainers, or has been given the ‘hacktoberfest-accepted’ label. A pull request with any label containing the word ‘spam’ or ‘invalid’ will be considered ineligible for Hacktoberfest.

Quality Standards

In line with Hacktoberfest value #2 (Quantity is fun, quality is key), we have provided examples of the pull requests that we consider to be low quality contributions (which we discourage and may be marked as spam by maintainers).

  • Pull requests that are automated e.g. scripted opening pull requests to remove whitespace / fix typos / optimize images.
  • Pull requests that are disruptive e.g. taking someone else’s branch/commits and making a pull request.
  • Pull requests that are regarded by a project maintainer as a hindrance vs. helping.
  • Something that’s clearly an attempt to simply +1 your pull request count for October.
  • Last but not least, one pull request to fix a typo is fine, but 5 pull requests to remove a stray whitespace is not.

Spammy pull requests can be labeled as “spam” or “invalid.”

Maintainers are faced with the majority of spam that occurs during Hacktoberfest, and we dislike spam just as much as you.

If you’re a maintainer, please label any spammy pull requests submitted to the repositories you maintain as ‘spam’ or ‘invalid’, and close them.

Pull requests with a label containing either of these words won’t count toward Hacktoberfest.

Pull requests must be approved by a maintainer.

Once a participant has submitted a pull request that is ready-to-review to a participating project, it must be approved by a maintainer of that project before it will count toward Hacktoberfest.

PRs can be accepted either by being merged, having an overall approving review, or having the ‘hacktoberfest-accepted’ label.

After a PR is approved it enters a fourteen-day review window where our team can take action against any participants we believe to be contributing in bad faith, and maintainers can revoke their approval if they decide that a PR isn’t actually a legitimate contribution.

After the fourteen-day window has passed, the PR becomes eligible for Hacktoberfest and this cannot be reversed. Bad repositories will be excluded.

We’ve seen many repositories that encourage participants to make simple pull requests — to quickly gain a pull request towards winning. While these projects may be a valuable learning tool for new contributors, they often aren’t valuable and high quality contributions to open source projects, and go against one of our core values for Hacktoberfest.

Some examples of projects that don’t follow the values of Hacktoberfest include:

Projects asking contributors to add their name or profile information to a list

Projects asking contributors to submit assorted data structures and algorithms (DSA)

Projects asking contributors to curate arbitrary lists of quotes, interview questions, etc.

The quality of pull requests is paramount; quantity comes second.

They’ve implemented a system to block these repositories, and any pull requests submitted to such repositories will not be counted.

=====================================================

Welcome to the August 2021 DCG 201 Meet Up!

We at DCG 201 and DEFCON Groups are at an odd crossroad. On one hand, restrictions have currently lessen so we can actually physically meet up again in some form. On the other hand, the DELTA Variant is on the rise across the world and even the dreaded LAMBDA Variant is on the horizon.

So our thought was, why not both?

Starting with this meet up, DCG 201 will be a Hybrid event.

This means we are welcome back to our old haunt SubCulture (we miss them so much) in Jersey City in addition to LIVE Streaming parts of our meet up online.

Each will cross over but have a slightly different experience with exclusives for both.

No matter if you want to show up for some social distancing hacking at our venue or stay safe at home and check us out online, we welcome you back to the insanity that is DCG 201.

Welcome home!

.::LIGHTNING TALKS::.

PRE SHOW :: Making the DEF CON 29 Badge :..>Come meet the new badge makers and hear the story of how this year’s badge was created amidst a global pandemic. We’ll share tales of chip shortages, delayed parts, and late nights, as well as discuss how the badge works and what you can do with it. Maybe even some hints about the challenges within…

:..>Bio: Michael Whiteley is a husband, father, and electronics geek. He doesn’t like long walks on the beach, but prefers to be indoors with a fast internet connection.

Katie Whiteley is a wife, mother, and graphic designer. She likes long walks on the beach because there’s no internet connection.

Combined they are MK Factor, a husband/wife badgemaker team. They’ve created badges for many conferences and groups like OpenWest, Saintcon, DC801, Car Hacking Village, and many unofficial DEF CON badges. Together they earned a black badge for Car Hacking at DEF CON 24.

Hypercore:// A World Of Distributed Data Structures :..>Originally known as the DAT Protocol with the Beaker Browser, Hypercore Protocol is a peer-to-peer data network built on the Hypercore logs that are like lightweight blockchains without the consensus algorithm. In this talk, I will details how I built the Hyper Protocol, how it works and a first look into my new project; a self-hosted cloud, similar to sandstorm, that uses Hypercore to integrate the servers into a network.

:..>Bio: Paul Frazee got his start in the Web working at development agencies which specialized in e-commerce and marketing. His interest in open source and distributed systems led him to the Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) community where he helped develop a peer-to-peer social networking app called Patchwork. After a few years working on SSB, Paul started the Beaker Browser project in order to experiment with applying p2p concepts to the Web platform.

TALK TBA :..> TBA

:.>Bio: TBA

INTERMISSION :: After The Lifting Of The Block: Case Study Of Turkey (ONLINE ONLY) :..>Wikipedia was blocked throughout Turkey for almost 2,5 years until 2020. Wikimania 2021 will be the first Wikimania held after the lifting of the block. During the years of the block in Turkey, many fellow wikimedians were concerned about the situation; but most did not have a chance to learn what was happening from Turkish wiki community members. At Wikimania 2021, it will be 20 months since the access was restored; Turkish community have gained ground in “reintroducing” Wikipedia to the country.

In this presentation, we tell the story of the Wikipedia block from TR community view and introduce the work of WMTR for overcoming the negative outcomes and coming out of this situation as a more powerful, better established group.

.::OPEN PROJECTS::.

Hacker Science Theater 3000 Presents: Johnny Mnemonic :..>Exclusively in person join us meetings for various hacker film and documentary screenings. First up is a classic that has aged beautifully and horribly at the same time:

Johnny Mnemonic is a 1995 Canadian-American cyberpunk action thriller film directed by Robert Longo in his directorial debut. The film stars Keanu Reeves and Dolph Lundgren. The film is based on the story of the same name by William Gibson. Keanu Reeves plays the title character, a man with a cybernetic brain implant designed to store information. The film portrays Gibson’s dystopian view of the future with the world dominated by megacorporations and with strong East Asian influences.

DCG 201 Vote: What IRC Instance Should We Move To? :..> If you have been living under a rock lately, we regret to inform you that Freenode imploded under it’s own arrogance and stupidity leading to a mass exodus of IRC Channels. Since we use to host under Freenode, we plan on moving the #DEFCON201 IRC Channel to another IRC Server. We your help in us voting in a new one. The options are:

LiberaChat HackInt OFTC

We want to hear your opinions in person and you can help online by voting on our active poll on our Twitch Channel!

DCG 201 Online Hacker Hangout :..>After our lightning talks DCG 201 members will be given an opportunity to show off the various projects that they have been working on. You can join in any time as we chat and some things we might be showing off for the first time so you don’t want to miss this on the LIVE Stream!

The game takes place in a space-themed setting, in which players each take on one of two roles, most being Crewmates, and a predetermined number being Impostors. The goal of the Crewmates is to identify the Impostors, eliminate them, and complete tasks around the map; the Impostors' goal is to covertly sabotage and kill the Crewmates before they complete all of their tasks. Players suspected to be Impostors may be eliminated via a plurality vote, which any player may initiate by calling an emergency meeting (except during a crisis) or reporting a dead body. Crewmates win if all Impostors are eliminated or all tasks are completed whereas Impostors win if there is an equal number of Impostors and Crewmates, or if a critical sabotage goes unresolved.

About Child's Play: Child's Play also receives cash donations throughout the year. With those cash donations, we purchase new consoles, peripherals, games, and more for hospitals and therapy facilities.

.::DEFCON 201 — Ye Official Constitution::.

==Preamble==

We hold these truths to be self evident that all human hackers are created equal, and that all things are designed to be engineered, taken apart, and hacked. We, the hackers, of DEFCON 201, North New Jersey do solemnly conspire to hold in institution the finest collection of backyard engineer, hacks, and creative uses for all manners of technology. We seek a space to discus technology and work on projects free of outside restrictions imposed by detrimental social constructs. We inspire to be ethical, and hold the use of technology for the better of mankind in our works and plans. We are a DEF CON Group, Area Code 201, Northern New Jersey.

==Section I – Vision==

DEFCON 201 is a DEF CON group, and affiliate of the DEF CON Groups program started by DEF CON Hacker & Security Convention. We aim to provide the DEF CON experience in the off season, providing talks and workshops,in the Northern Eastern Section (general Hudson County area) of New Jersey. This shall be defined from the New York Border, South to the Driscol Bridge, and west until where Route 15 intersects Route 80. We encourage all others outside of this range to start or join other local DEF CON groups, but shall be welcome to attend anyway.

DEFCON 201 is a technical group, but we seek to involve members of all skill levels, and there is no skill level requirement to join. We are not an “elite” group, we invite all skill levels to attend and participate where hopefully everyone can learn something, and encourage public participation.

DEFCON 201 aims to give back to the community, and assist with charitable works of technology, and improving the lives of New Jerseyians through better use of technology.

DEFCON 201 is to identify as a hacker group, not an InfoSec organization or other labels. We aspire the keep the hacker spirit going. We aspire to be FREE as in speech, thinkers, and promote the ability of the individual to freely operate machines and all engineered constructs as they see fit, for ethical purposes.

DEFCON 201 aspires to register itself as a 501.3 charitable organization or whatever shall happen to replace that statue if said stature it is replaced that fulfills the same role. We aspire to do charity works of bringing technology to the communities of Northern New Jersey in a way that is FREE, OPEN, and helpful to the people of New Jersey. We seek to bridge the digital divide, not of just who gets to use technology but who gets to create technology.

DEFCON 201 as such, conspires to be a democracy of members, where members are equals brought together for their love of technology, engineering, and hacking in general.

DEFCON 201 is a DEF CON group, and shall do its earnest to place itself on good terms with all other DEF CON groups local and abroad in addition to the DEFCON event in Las Vegas.

==Section II – Membership==

  1. Membership is to be open to all persons who either live, work, play, or identify with North Eastern New Jersey. Membership shall be open to, and without prejudice for members of any gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, national origin, or religion. There shall be no test of religion, ideology, creed or other belief, but we reserve the right to reject anyone who holds beliefs against the rights, dignity, and freedoms of persons based on race, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation. We reserve the right to refuse people who have made themselves known to start negative trouble with existing members, other groups, or in general. While we do not restrict membership based on age, but we ask that persons be intellectually and emotionally mature.

  2. DEFCON 201 is a formal organization with an official membership list. To join DEFCON 201 you must be asked to join by the existing membership and then will be voted on by existing members. All membership votes must be unanimous. Only full members will have a right to vote on topics involving DEFCON 201’s operation methods and planning timeline. Membership will be phased to potentially weed out problematic persons and can revoked for violation of member rules.

  3. There shall be three phases of Membership:

    A. Associate (Honorary Member, and/or Friend) of DEFCON 201. For all people just joining us, members of other DC groups, from outside the area, or with no real interest of formally joining. People who come and go, but have not made themselves unwelcome in any part. Will not have any responsibilities. May volunteer or express interest in joining formally. Not formally part of the organization. No voting rights and no access to DEFCON 201 Membership Resources.

    B. Trial Member. After being an Associate for about 3 months or until our members feel comfortable about your public behavior and you’ve expressed interest in joining, you might be asked to be a Trial Member. Trial members are not to be abused, ordered around, or hazed. They must participate in DEFCON 201 events, and help out with things as members. Trial Members do not get a vote in group matters.

    C. Full Member. In general, after another minimum 3 months, when the existing members feel comfortable. A Trial Member will be asked to join DEFCON 201 as a full member. All full members are considered equals. The vote must be unanimous, and it is a measure of trust in the member who is joining. Members shall have a vote on group issues and operations. Members shall have access to shared resources of the group, either equally, or as voted by DEFCON 201.

  4. Revoking Membership. On the rare occasion we might need to revoke membership. A “vote to kick” may be brought up by any Full Member, and Full Member only. A reason why must be given. Valid reasons include: breaching the code of conduct, harassing other members, committing disreputable actions in the name of DEFCON 201, misusing monies or other club resources, and/or not participating for extended periods of time. The vote to kick must be unanimous of all voting members.

==Section III – Business, Organization, Operation==

  1. While understanding and appreciating the difference between “black hat” and “unethical” actions: Neither black hat, nor unethical activities shall be brought to DEFCON 201.

  2. All major issues shall be brought to vote. Simple issues shall require a simply majority to pass. Motions to change policy or the constitution shall require a 2/3rds super majority. All membership votes either in or out shall be unanimous.

  3. Voting can either occur in person or via official DEFCON 201 online resources. The members section of the website has a poll. This shall be considered official. Online polls involving group business shall be online for about a week and made known to all members.

  4. Membership can be revoked by a group vote to kick out an existing DEFCON 201 Member. Reasons to revoke membership include breaching the code of conduct, harassing other members, committing disreputable actions in the name of DEFCON 201, misusing monies or other club resources, and/or not participating for extended periods of time.

  5. Club Officers shall be elected to fulfill roles in the organization. The only set role shall be moderator who leads discussions, and shall be able to break ties in organization votes. When DEFCON 201 incorporates as a charity, or for any other reason gains a budget or holds money, financial instruments or things of value, a Treasurer is to be elected for the purpose of managing these. Officers, other than moderators have no special rights, and are role oriented positions. The moderator is not to be above any other member.

  6. Elections for moderator and all other officer positions are to be done every year during March of the organization’s Anniversary. Any full member in good standing may run. Voting is to be done in person, at the March meeting, or online if agreed by a 2/3s vote. If voting online, a vote must be posted in the members section, and be online for at least 1 month, or until all members vote. The winner of any election will be that person who receives the most votes, so long as they are more than %50 of the membership. If no candidate receives more than %50 of the vote, a runoff with the top three candidates will take place. If

6a. Recall Vote: Any elected position may be recalled with 60% super majority vote at any time for any reason. After a recall, a new vote shall be held to fulfill that position at earliest possible convenience.

  1. In any vote two thirds (66%) of all eligible members need to vote for it to count. If a member has a good excuse for an absence on voting, and would wish to vote, it can be amended if no action has been taken.

  2. No one shall trick or coerce a member into voting a certain way. Tricked or coerced votes will not be counted, and the voting process shall be restarted without tricks or coercion.

  3. The moderator may do day to day running of the club and resolve minor issues on their own authority. However, any member at any time may reject this and call any club action of the moderator to a vote. The vote will always override a moderator’s decision.

  4. Leave of Absence. Full members may leave for up to 1 year, where they are marked as inactive. Inactive members have no vote, but may keep their online services intact(such as email). After such time they will be removed.

  5. Any person exhibiting abusive behavior, violating the rules, or acting counter to good nature of DEFCON 201 may be banned from DEFCON 201 meetings and events. Provokers will not be exempt from the DEFCON 201’s Constitution or Code of Conduct rules due to personal reasons.

==Section IV – Five Points==

It is here recognized our earlier 5 Points from the weblog are part of the creed DEFCON 201 character. This wording shall be considered cannon moving forward.

  1. Project Oriented Workshop DEFCON 201 is here to be a “hands on” workshop. While we aim to have great speakers from about the nation, and globe, we encourage our members, friends, associates and participants to get their hands dirty. We love to host talk by any participant. Share your interesting idea, and recruit more people to help further your technological endeavors.

  2. No 1337 Skill requirements We are not not an “elite” group, but instead aim to engage people of all skill levels and challenge them to learn more. We cater to all skill levels from beginner to advanced. Our mantra of “better than you where yesterday” is the only level of skill you need to obtain.

  3. Rekindling the Hacker Ethic and Hacker Mentality Information was meant to be FREE. This cannot be stated enough. We collectively feel a lot of the old hacker mindset has been washed away by very same skill specific trades such as “InfoSec” which have become glorified QA. It is even more appalling that many of these trades where started by hackers, but to the current crop of “professional”, hacker remains a dirty word. We want to challenge the way people look at technology, and this is more than simply a career path. This is a way of thinking, and a way of approaching certain situations. We are here to keep cyberspace Free, and the tools and information about these tools to be Freely available both online and off. We aspire to promote Free as in speech software and tools, and FREE, Democratic, Peer-led organizations to solve real world problems that real persons face.

  4. Leave Nobody Behind Our Founders and Members are all too familiar with being in an environment where you are attempting to learn and instead of guidance your peers are instead antagonistic and brings petty scene drama into the subject. We feel that not only does this stifle learning hacker skills and mentality but contributes to the already negative stigma of hackers in our community. Therefore, we declare that DEFCON 201 will be an environment with a policy of improving everyone and not leaving people behind in the learning process. We either all succeed together or all fail together and we will repeat and try new methods of teaching for skills until everyone is on the same page.

  5. Improve & Give Back To Local Community There continues to be a stunning “digital divide” in who gets access to technology. DEFCON 201 aspires to give back to the community by helping bridge this gap, by making digital creation tools available to the public, and participate in projects that make a full internet capable general purpose computers available to all members of society regardless of their background, technical proficiency and perceived social status. To create projects that feature accessibility as a priority and to make fast, unrestricted internet available for eveyone. Information is not truly FREE unless all are FREE to access it.

DEFCON 201 Updates — Keybase, Discord & More!

Greetings Dirty Jersey Hackers! We have a few house cleaning updates we would like to share with you regarding communications and social media.

Starting with…

::DEFCON 201 ATTENDEE KEYBASE TEAM::

We are excited to announce that DEFCON 201 now has it’s own Keybase Team!

What is Keybase?

Keybase is a key directory that offers an end-to-end encrypted chat and cloud storage system, called Keybase Chat and the Keybase filesystem respectively. Keybase allows users to “prove” a link between certain online identities (such as a Twitter or Reddit account) and their encryption keys. Instead of using a system such as OAuth, identities are proven by posting a signed statement as the account a user wishes to prove ownership of. Since the Keybase app checks the proof, it avoids trust on first use.

You can also pipe all Keybase traffic via TOR and access the profile web-gui via the Tor Browser.

A browser extension for Chrome and Firefox allows you to add users on social media directly to Keybase.

Also, once the client is installed you can also run Keybase through the Command Line.

NOTE: This chat method is ONLY for those who have attended a DEFCON 201 Meet Up and joined our Mailing List. If you are on our Mailing List and are having issues/did not receive the invite please contact us at the next available meet up or email us at INFO (at) DEFCON201 {dot} ORG
