No last minute trips to do on-site work for Dan this month; he's going to give the first in what will be a series of talks on Penetration Testing.

Please join us next Monday, Feb 11th at 1730 at AS220 for Dan King's talk on penetration testing. Dan is lucky enough to get paid to do penetration testing for a living at a leading managed security service provider.

Getting started with penetration testing can be a challenging task. Only by using a layered, structured approach can we deal with this mountain of data. Quite often new and complex vulnerabilities are daunted and difficult to wrap our brain around, but by taking things one step at a time, we can slowly pull the layers of the onion apart.

This talk hopes to provide people with a rough structure and a method of getting their feet wet. I hope can spark conversation and discussion.

As usual, we have the performance space from 1730-1900. The talk will start around 1800. Show up early, grab a beer and join in the pre-talk socializing.
