Hey all,
over the years we’ve discussed the identity and purpose of DC734 and
often discussed renaming the our meetings to better reflect our
activities. The DC name has caused a lot of confusion and concerns
that it would be more of a rave and less of a meeting of minds.
So, in that spirit, at the last meeting we decided to join with a new
Ann Arbor based security group to provide some clarity to what we’re
doing. Following what folks around the country the new group is
following the citi sec model. Details can be found at www.arbsec.org.
We’re going to give the chapter list time to migrate to the arbsec
communication and you will be seeing an email from Jon Oberheide soon
on the details. First Arbsec meeting is next Wednesday March 4th, at
Bar Louie.
There’s some exciting new momentum in the Ann Arbor technical
community and I hope to see you at the Arbsec meetups or any one of
the really cool things going on.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to DC734 over the years, please
show up and do the same for Arbsec!
-Scott, (not to be confused with heretic:)
Hey 734, happy new year and all that.
Our first meeting will be on Wednesday 1/7 at 6:30 PM.
Sorry we missed December. Everyone was really busy and it just never
came together. We’re going to try to have better content and planning
for 2009.
To that end, the first meeting of 2009 will be a planning meeting to
discuss what we’ll be doing. February’s meeting will probably be a
session on building wireless antennas. (ae?)
One of the things I’d really like to do this year is more hands on
sessions regardless of the topic.
Anyway, hope to see you there, it’s been a while.

Directions to the space:

This is right next door to the old Nalli’s building up from the
Fleetwood diner.
Hey everyone, just a reminder that the July meeting is canceled so we
can all prep for the 4th on Friday.
I know allot of people are already out of town but to those around,
have a great 4th! See you in August.
The June meeting will be held on Wednesday June 4th at 6:30 PM.
For the June meeting Tami Jo will be here to give her long awaited talk on tattoos. She’ll be talking about where this all started and some cool trends that are going on today. She’ll have some pics of stuff she’s done and things she likes. The title of the talk is “I will cut you”. My new favorite part of this talk is the live demonstration. Oh yea, this is how we roll out here. Josh will be getting some updates. Should be really cool.
Come out for this one, it’s going to be fun.
We’ll also be talking starting to firm up the plans for the CTF event. Good discussion on this last month and here’s hoping we catch Derek this time?

This is right next door to the old Nalli’s building up from the Fleetwood diner. It’s a rather anonymous building. There will be a sign in the front window with the DC734 front page on it. Knock and if no one answers call Dan’s cell or Scott’s cell. (Cell phone defense in depth)
What up 734!
Hope everyone had a great holiday, back into it! We’ve got some great sessions already planned for 2008. I’m really excited about some of the things we have planned.
The February meeting will be held on Wednesday 2/6 at 6:30 PM.
The first presentation of 2008 is one I’ve been looking forward to for a while. (Since I want a tattoo badly.) TJ will be presenting a session on the history and technology of tattooing. She’ll go over where this all started and some cool trends that are going on today. She’ll have some pics of stuff she’s done and things she likes. My favorite part of all is the title. I was talking to her about this a while back and thought the title was, “I can cut you” she recently corrected me saying, “It’s I WILL cut you, not I can cut you…”. Sorry sista, keeping it real. Anyway, come to this one, it will be fun.
Looking forward:
In March we’ll be welcoming back Steve Jaqua who will be hosting a gaming night. He’s unveiling the production version of Blasphemy and will be giving away a copy of it. (I still don’t know how he’ll determine the winner but be sure it won’t be me.) So the meeting will be another gaming night. Standard rules apply: Kugler will wander around from game to game and we’ll all target Kevin and lose.
In April our own JRC will present on WII mods. It’ll include some firmware hacking info as well as perhaps a demo of the WII in action. I’m totally killer on boxing.
We’ve begun planning for a Capture the Flag contest for the summer. Think you’re all that? We’ll see. Planning is at an early stage, if you’re interested in being part of the planning please email me offlist. Otherwise stay tuned for more info. This is going to be good.
Anyway, good to be meeting again. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
