6:35 - 7:20 On The Importance of Community (or: How SecKC Helped Turn a Curious College Kid into a Fed Hacker) - @sysaaron
Aaron Scantlin (aka sysaaron) came to his first SecKC meeting in 2014 all the way from Columbia, MO - and would continue to drive back and forth damn near every Patch Tuesday until he moved back to KC during the pandemic in 2021. Sound crazy? Probably not as crazy as Aaron's story of coming up in the infosec field! Come listen to his rambling eloquent recollection of his path into infosec, and specifically how coming to and volunteering with SecKC helped both the local security community and his personal career grow over the years.
7:30 - 8:30 Tactics of a Trash Panda - @Angel Gamboa
In a world of custom hardware implants, specialized spy tools, and outrageous prices for performing red team activities, where does a person sponsored by no state or agency stand in manufacturing their own tooling? In this talk we embrace what it is to be a true hacker, using resources around you to accomplish your missions! Join as as we discuss how you can cheaply create your own gadgets and tooling for physical engagements!
8:30+ Dope tracks & chatter

HaKCer summer camp has come and gone. Good times were had, drinking was done, the COVID CTF was won and lost, and much, much more!

Fresh off the SecKC picnic and we don't want to lose momentum. Come out to Tall Trellis, learn some stuff, see your haKCer friends, and support @mrgriff01! That's right, we'll be at some new digs, partially owned by a SecKCer! They might even let @sysaaron back on the mic!

Well, last time we extended make excuses and pre-drinking into a full on experience. This time let's see if we can pull off a meeting also!
SecKC - January 2023
Woot!, or Toot! as the case may be. Shake off the post-holiday fog and come out to SecKC! This month we're having a new edition of drunk haKCers debate technology. That's right, Twitter turned into a Muskovian hellscape so about 80% of the infosec people all went "nah" and migrated over to various Mastodon instances. But what does that even mean, and is it a good thing?
SecKC - November 2022
Are we just finishing up HaKCerween? or getting ready for HaKCsgiving? Either way Join us in November for all the awesomeness! These flags are out on the server feeling lonely, they need you to find them! Big thanks to the folks at Crowdstrike for sponsoring this meeting!

Do you remember?
The 13th night of September?
SecKC was LIT AF
Daniel Charboneau will be talking about Confidential Computing (It’s coming whether you are ready or not) and many of us were at summer camp (D3FC0N) this year and so much happened. Covid was caught. Black badges were won. HUGE badges were bought. Unspeakable things were done to power the huge badge. An ad hoc badgemaking party was held. So much hacking! Oh, and OMG scorpion shots! Hang with our panel for the review!
SecKC - June 2022
Bring your friends, beer, and card games. It’s SecKC’s annual picnic and it’s going to be a blast! Get ready for fun games, even more fun people, and free foods! This is SecKC’s second annual picnic and it’s going to be amazing! Don’t miss it!

Emperor Lrrr from Omicron Persei Eight tells us we must do this remotely or they will destroy the Earth, so join us on Zoom or on YouTube and come hang in the discord to chat with all the hakcers.
SecKC - November 2021
Hey all you haKCers! This November we're the official Missouri F12 memorial SecKCast, no more developer mode for you. Speaking of official HaKCer tools, tune in on YouTube to hear us talk about L0phtCrack, facebook, meta, the army and their offensive cyber ops, the NRA, and I'm sure Mike Parsons will come up at some point. Hop on Discord to chat, ask questions, talk shit, or just hang with us.
See you on patch Tuesday at 8:00 PM CST!
SecKC - October 2021
Pssst! Hey kid, want a balloon? No? How about an evil twin? That's right folks, it's October and SecKC is all about the pumpkin spice flavored hakcing. Come out to recordBar and get some sec, some tech, and then get wreck (not really unless you also get a ride). Can't wait to see your vaccinated faces again so come chill with your homies, compare notes on life as a 5g enabled zombie, and experience the cool talks and sweet beats.
SecKC - September 2021
We will be back at recordBar again (yay!) with our monthly meeting. However, this won't be any normal meeting. SecKC is celebrating its very own 10th birthday this month. To celebrate that, we will be having some fun by letting you guys have some fun. We will be having some open mic time for you lovely folks to share something with SecKC. Be that a project or a fun story, we love it all the same! We'll even have some tables for you to set your cool projects up to show us. This will be like a science fair but with RGB!

SecKC - May 2021
Virtual SecKC is here in May, still rocking Zoom a Zoom Zoom in da boom boom
7:00 - 7:10 SecKC 101 / Welcome to SecKC. TL;DR be nice, we say fuck a lot.
7:15 - 7:25 News - New news is new.
7:30 - 8:10 Log Management on the Cheap - Everyone needs to manage logs, even if they don't know they need to manage logs. But not everyone has the budget for a big, commercial solution. AsmodianX shows you how anyone can manage their logs, without a major investment.
8:15 - 9:00? SECURITY SYMPOSIUM ... first Gopher and now this? .. https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/22/22398156/university-minnesota-linux-kernal-ban-research
We're gonna try something new this month: active audience participation! Researchers at UMN recently found themselves in hot water with a variety of groups after publishing a paper on supply chain attacks wherein UMN researchers submitted malicious code to the Linux kernel. While we encourage you to research the situation and form some opinions before the symposium, we will begin with an overview of the incident and the aftermath thus far, followed by arguments for and against UMN's actions.
While these opening remarks and arguments are taking place, we encourage you to submit questions to our moderation team in discord - we will invite those who have questions into the zoom meeting being recorded and streamed live to ask their question and participate in the discussion from there on out. Our hope is that, by the end of the symposium, we all have a comprehensive understanding of whatever benefits or detriments posed by their research methods.
SecKC - February 2021
Virtual SecKC is back for February! Have you missed us? We've missed you. Come to the Zoom and check out the amazing talks, hang out on Discord and talk about your cool holiday lewt.

7:00 - 7:10 SecKC 101 / Welcome to SecKC. TL;DR be nice, we say fuck a lot.
7:15 - 7:25 News - Luckily nothing has really happened in the last month or two, no major breaches or anything so this should be easy.
7:30 - 7:55 99 chased balloons. The National Weather Service launches balloons. Some people think they're aliens, but in SecKC we chase those things down and commence the hakcing. Bandikoto tells us how it works and then answers your questions.
8:00 - 8:25 Do you like TryHackMe? How about OSINT? St3v3 likes them so much he created his own TryHackMe OSINT room. Learn about what goes into creating a room and get the inside scoop on how this room works. Q&A follows the talk.
