[tech] Fwd: Ethical hacking meeting Thursday 16th May at 4pm

[Felix von Perger]

Hi UCCans,

This sounds pretty interesting, and I'd be keen to see some other people 
from UCC come along.

FYI this was posted in Data Science Club of UWA, then reposted in the 
UCC Facebook group:

> for those interested in hacking; David Glance from UWA Centre of 
> Software and Security Practice is looking to set up an ethical hacking 
> group. no experience required, just a keen interest. please email your

> "A primary activity would be for students to learn ethical hacking 
> through practice on a site called Hack The Box; where a uwa team could 
> be established.... the group could also participate in Capture The 
> Flag events.. the skills that you acquire from this are broad, and 
> whilst it helps to know about networking, operating systems, 
> programming and cyber security, you pick up enough knowledge through 
> practice to be able to make progress"

Hi,

I realise this is short notice but my colleague Dr Jin Hong is away for 
a couple of weeks next week and I wanted to get everyone who has 
expressed an interest in this to meet.
We plan to meet in Seminar Room 1.24 in Computer Science at 4pm this 
Thursday. We will get a brief overview of everyone’s interests and 
skills and Jin will do a short presentation on just one of the very many 
exploits for gaining a privileged shell through a buffer overflow.
If you can’t make it, don’t worry, we will organise more sessions 
starting after exams.
Feel free to pass this on to anyone who may also be interested in taking 
part.

Hopefully see some or all of you then.

David and Jin
