tl;dr: Trying a different newsletter format, Ethical Hacking workshop signups, membership is growing, upcoming schedule

Hi All!

Trying a little something different with the format of the email here, so let me know if there are any issues or if you like it better. Signups for our Ethical Hacking for Beginners workshop are now open. Space is limited, so be sure to sign up now if you're interested in attending!

Ethical Hacking for Beginners

Wednesday, July 23rd, 6-8 PM

Are you interested in hacking but don't know where to start? This Ethical Hacking Workshop will help you get started!

During the workshop we will:

Mending Monday, Talk & Tinker Tuesday, and dropping in for our member hours

• Talk about what "ethical hacking" means
• Set up Kali Linux virtual machine
• Review some penetration testing tools
• Perform reconnaissance on a target
• Exploit vulnerabilities
• Escalate privileges
• Review lots of resources

Attendees should bring a laptop capable of running VirtualBox. Don't forget your power supply! Everything will be done within the virtual machine, so no permanent changes will be made to anything else on your laptop.

Space is limited, and reseverations are required, so sign up here!

Updates

We've had a number of new faces at our weekly events and signing up for memberships, which makes us really excited, since the more members we have, the more we can offer to our community! At this past Talk & Tinker, we had people exploring various radio related projects, trying out our new laser cutter, practicing soldering, sewing, and lots more. Come check us out some time soon, and remember, memberships are only $15 a month and include access to our Thursday and Saturday hours, use of more advanced tools and equipment, early access to workshop signups, and more!
