Winter 2009

This Thursday [3/5/09], brought to you by Alek Rollyson, we talked about certain important internet related topics. How does one go to work without leaving his house? How does one completely mask himself to the internet? How does one hide his traffic from even his own ISP? All of these are accomplished by what we discussed.

This Thursday [2/26], Alek will be showing us how to hack into a wifi network.

Topics covered will be:

-Overview of why you would want to hack wifi
-Hacking tools
-What WEP is and how it works, flaws etc
-How to hack WEP
-Overview of what WPA/WPA2 is and how it works, flaws etc
-How to Hack WPA/WPA2
-Man-in-the-middle attacks [if time allows]

By the end of this meeting you'll have the wisdom needed to go out and break into wireless networks....your own of course!!!

This Thursday [2/19/09] we'll be taking apart an Xbox 360 and looking at its insides. I'll also be showing how I did some mods to make my Xbox look a little sexier. By the end of this meeting you'll have all the knowledge you need to go home and void your warranty!

As always, the meeting will be at 7pm in Dreese 266.

This Thursday [2/12/09] we are going to just do-it-live and see where the topic ends up going. All of our best meetings seem to be the ones where we get sidetracked and start talking about random stuff... so why fight it?

As always the meeting will be at 7pm in 266 Dreese.

Tonight (Thursday, 2/5 ) we will be doing the impossible and making more forward progress on a club project. There will also be some people from the design college coming to talk about projects they need help with, so while they are there we will milk some ideas for an interface from them.

For those who missed our last project meeting, here a quick recap:

Due to the bad weather we have chosen to postpone our original meeting topic for this week. There will however still be a meeting for anyone who wants to come hang out. We will be letting people suggest future topics that they would like to see (or present).

As usual, the meeting will be at 7p in Dreese Labs 266.

The Open Source Club is going to be at the 2009 Winter Involvement Fair in the lobby of Knowlton Hall this Thursday [1/8]. Therefor there will be no meeting this week. But feel free to stop by the involvement fair if you want to chat with us!
