Yet another venue disaster as it turned out the Brewery Tap had their entire second floor rented out for a private do, with all the pub customers crammed into the main downstairs bar it made a little difficult to have a meeting, with loudness and general lack of space getting in the way.
After an hour or so we ended up yet again in The Grove Inn, or rather outside the Grove Inn enjoying the night air.
Attendance was the same as last month, with 2 new faces. @digininja came all the way from Sheffield for the phun.
One of the main topics of the night was up coming cons, including Infosec, toorcon, and OpenHackDay, GoodHack, as well as cons past like shmoo and brumcon.
Other topics of discussion:
- Leeds Hackspace
- Conficker – scanning massive networks for, and the likelyhood it was probably professional made for organised criminals
- Hacking netbooks
- AlertMe alarms and interesting uses/hacks
- Of course venues came up again, we generally decided on just coming straight back to The Grove Inn next month
- Protocol level and
MITM SSL attacks
As ever if I’ve forgotten anything leave a comment or leave a link on Delicious for:leeds2600.
Look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting.
