Core Impact and Rapid7 Metasploit are ridiculously powerful tools that are known for dominating networks and laying ruin to unpatched machines.

Jason Malley of n00bz.net will be joining us as we set up a small lab of vuln boxes, and pit the two leading penetration testing suites against each other to see which will pwn the most efficiently. As always, there will be plenty of hot pizza and cold beer.

Join us for an afternoon of password cracking!

On 3/13/2010, HackMiami will present on the methods of password cracking, the tools used to carry it out, and ways to mitigate the threat. We will touch upon online cracking, offline cracking, rainbow tables, fuzzing, wordlists, salts, hashes, and more!

We will also have a few systems with various tools running on them (wifi cracking and offline hash cracking).

Bring your (anonymized!!!!) hashes and handshakes to feed to the machines and see how they hold up. They take it with and without salt.

After the presentation there will be open discussions regarding the latest trends in hacking, cracking, reverse engineering, lockpicking, and more!

Everyone is welcome, n00bz and 1337z alike!

Notice we have changed location, we are no longer at FIU… we are now at Pizza Mansion, it’s a new place that has beer and free wifi!!!

HackMiami member Alexander Heid was recently quoted in MIT’s Technology Review about the Zeus trojan and anti-virus evasion.

(Technology Review) – Even the basic Zeus kits include obfuscation techniques to help escape detection by antivirus software and other security measures. In one experiment, consultant Alex Heid of Information Security Services found that only about half of antivirus software detected a known Zeus payload. After employing some simple techniques for masking the code, the detection rate dropped even further, to 10 percent. “The cybercrime technologies are advancing faster than the security technologies,” Heid says.

HackMiami won 3rd place at Shmoocon’s Ghost in the Shell Code hacking contest. It was a CTF style game that incorporated multiple aspects of hacking methodology. Good work!

Unfortunately we had to drive back to Miami early Sunday morning and we missed the closing ceremonies.

Here is a link to the complete video of the closing ceremonies, HackMiami is mentioned at 18:00.

Also, congrats to Things (2nd place) and Mobile Disco (1st place)!

Join us for an afternoon of h4x0ring!!!!!!!

At 1:30pm we will have a presentation by Alexander Heid entitled “Tools of the Underground.” The presentation will focus on the tools and methodologies of the cybercrime underground, including information about the Zeus trojan, shell scripts, exploit kits, and more.

Alexander Heid is a local security researcher, vulnerability analyst, board member of South Florida OWASP, and board member of HackMiami.

Afterwards, we will also be featuring a presentation by Peter Greko entitled “Maintaining Access on Compromised LAMP Servers.” The presentation will focus on the concepts of backdoors and injections used by malicious actors to keep stealth access on compromised servers.

Peter Greko is a local security researcher, application analyst, and board member of HackMiami.

After the presentations we will have a lab where we will be hacking, cracking, as well as the usual bouts of malware reverse engineering, lockpicking, and more.

Everyone is welcome, n00bz and 1337z alike!
