Last Minute Meetup: NoVA Sec Luncheon – Thursday, 03-19

grecs — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 00:44:45 +0000

We know that you’ve all been missing it, so here’s some good news…

NoVA Sec is having a luncheon this Thursday, March 19th. We just got confirmation from @mubix that it will be held at L’Efant Plaza and will start around 12:00 PM EST.

Since navigating L’Efant Plaza on any day can get a little crazy, we recommend that everyone use #mubixnovaseclunch for general updates/directions relating to the luncheon. You can also follow @mubix for additional updates about the luncheon.

For those who don’t know, NoVA Sec gatherings are low-key and encourage everyone to “check their certifications at the door.” If you feel lost without the certifications behind your name, NoVA Sec might not be the group for you.

But if you’re a fan of groups like 2600 Group and CharmSec, you will most likely enjoy the laid back, purely technical nature of NoVA Sec.

For additional information about this luncheon, continue reading below.

Who: Rob Fuller (known to many as mubix)
What: NoVA Sec Luncheon
When: 03-19, 12:00 PM EST
Where: L’Enfant Plaza (690 Maryland Ave SW, Fort Lesley J Mcnair, DC; somewhere in the center)

The NoVA Sec infosec meetup event back in April featured Aaron Walters discussing memory forensics. I’m not much of a forensics person at this point and so much of the information was over my head. Richard Bejtlich however has recently posted his notes from this session for those interested. See our original post for more information.

Follow-Up: NoVA Sec Meetup Event, 3/27

I was finally able to attend one of these NoVA Sec meetup events. Got to meet some great people and enjoyed an eye-opening presentation on ZFS from Wes Shield. It was the first I had heard about ZFS so it provided a nice foundation. I’m not too much of a hardware person but my key takeaway was that ZFS allows you to throw a bunch of disks together, add them to ZFS to be managed, and then set them up into a bunch of different configurations. Wes demonstrated several setups including JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks), mirroring, and a few types of RAID. ZFS also offers easy backup and restore capability through snapshots. Thanks infoLock Technologies for offering up your facilities. See our original post for more information.
