General Meeting: Hijacking Web 2.0 Sites with SSLstrip and Slowloris
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

Many Websites mix secure and insecure content on the same page, like
Facebook. This makes it possible to steal all the data entered on such a
page easily, using Moxie Marlinspike's SSLstrip tool. I will explain and
demonstrate this attack.

Slowloris is a very new layer 7 denial-of-service attack created by RSnake
that stops Apache web servers completely with very low bandwidth--one packet
every 2 seconds. The Apache developers were notified of this vulnerability
and decided it was unimportant and not worth patching. I will explain and
demonstrate this attack, and discuss various ways to protect your Apache
servers.

General Meeting: Web Attacks 101: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Forgery and SQL Injection
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

Cross Site Scripting is the #1 form of attack used in the web world
today. The attack vector usually comes in the form of some sort of
enticement in a forum posting with a bogus link, or a bogus email which
fools the victim into thinking they're doing something to protect
themselves (i.e. changing their online banking password, etc.).

Cross Site Forgery is in the Top 10 but is insidious in that the
victim is the website. This form of attack hijacks valid user
credentials and, unknown to the user, performs actions in their name
which benefit the attacker.

2009-11-17 board meeting minutes for November 09
Start: 6:30 pm
End: 8:00 pm

Roll: Roger, Bill, Frank, Kyle, Allan

Upcomming talks:

Dec 8: Linux in your pocket
Jan 12: Roger to talk about GNUplot

A possible speaker approahced us about talking about IPv6 but we agreed that the topic he was proposing was too code-heavy. Kyle will contact the speaker and inquire about a more entry-level talk.

According to the NBLUG Bylaws we should have held an election on the first meeting following the Daylight Saving Time change. I believe we missed this one so we'll have to sort out an election in the near term. Open question - Kyle, do you want to send out a request for nominations prior to the December meeting or should we defer to January?

2009-12-15 board meeting minutes for December 09
Start: 6:30 pm
End: 8:00 pm

Roll: Roger, Bill, Frank, Kyle, Allan, Aaron

Upcoming talks:
Jan 12: Roger to talk about GNUplot
Feb 9: Kyle to to talk about network troubleshooting
March 9: The speaker who approached us about talking about IPv6 (Owen DeLong) has agreed to prepare an entry-level IPv6 talk that may be given in either March or April.
April 13: Kyle is also in contact with a potential speaker for April depending on their availability.

According to the NBLUG Bylaws we should have held an election on the first meeting following the Daylight Saving Time change. Because we missed this (more than likely my bad) Kyle verbally announced that nominations are open for a January 12th election during the December NBLUG general meeting. Kyle will send out an E-Mail to the talk list to state that nominations are now open.
