Hey, everyone.

I need to quickly and cheaply set up at least one, and preferably two  
or ideally three cameras at my house and record their output.

If anyone has suggestions, how-tos, or equipment I could buy or  
borrow, please let me know.

Thanks!

Bluecherry.net had great capture cards ideal for security and work  
well in Linux. Zoneminder is a good free opensource security system  
with all sorts of options including motion detection.

Subject: [dc401-l] November Meeting - Dennis Brown - Synthetic Economies: A
 Real World Arms Race for Virtual Gold
Message-ID: <4AE6FBDE.4010505@dc401.org>


Hey All,

Prolific DC401 speaker Dennis Brown returns hot on the heels of his 
abbreviated presentation at ToorCon. They only gave him 20 minutes. 
We'll give him a whole hour and see if he can get all the way to the end.

     Selling currency and services for massively multiplayer games are 
often viewed as a cottage industry, but it is in fact a half-billion 
dollar industry that profits off of malware distribution and sweatshop 
labor. Its also a conflict between the companies behind these games who 
want to keep a fair playing field, and the people trying to profit from 
them using techniques such as social engineering, keyloggers and 
spamming, amongst others. This presentation discusses the recent history 
of these synthetic economies, how they remain undetected and in 
operation, and the ways they can affect both virtual and real-world 
economies.

Date/Time: Wednesday, 4 Nov 2009 - 1730-1900
Location: AS220, 115 Empire St, Providence
