This year’s competition will be held on Saturday, August 13, 2011 from 12:00pm – 5:00pm at the Hollywood Women’s Club, 501 N. Fourteenth Avenue, Hollywood, FL 33020.
HackMiami will be running the Kommand && Kontroll CTF
Kommand && Kontroll CTF
This game is for anyone who enjoys the thrill of researching security in networks, web apps and malware. All done in an isolated private network. We encourage more advanced InfoSec professionals that think they are elite enough. As with the Samurai game you will need to bring a computer with a bootable cd/dvd-rom drive, at least a 15′ ethernet cable and a powerstrip. We will have some ethernet cables and powerstrips available but quantities will be limited so it is best to bring your own if you can.
Samurai CTF
This game is for those with little to no hacking experience and will be similar to the Samurai game we ran last year. Each team will be provided with a virtual server and a common scoreboard website to track their progress. The scoreboard will give the players a list of questions to be filled out in order to proceed to the next step. The game will test your abilities in the areas of reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access and covering your tracks. For this competition you will need to bring a computer with a bootable cd/dvd-rom drive, at least a 15′ ethernet cable and a powerstrip. We will have some ethernet cables and powerstrips available but quantities will be limited so it is best to bring your own if you can. SFISSA will be providing a bootable Samurai at the event but feel free to download yours ahead of time to get familiar with the toolkit. Click here for all the details

Okay, we slacked off with meetings this month but we promise to make it up. With DefCon around the corner we’re revving up with a mini-con of our own. Here’s what we have in store. Nate Morrison will be rocking with ROP chain exploits. Nate has been into hacking and network security for over 6 years with roles as network and system administrator in the education sector. He has recently gotten into reverse engineering of windows executables and exploitation development as well as understanding how DEP, ASLR and other exploitation defensive tactics work. He currently works at FPL in Miami in network security operations. And in his spare time does biking, flying and reverse engineering of software. Nate’s talk is about using ROP chains within a buffer overflow attack to render DEP and ASLR useless. While more difficult than a traditional “rect ret” buffer overflow, It has become a common tactic for exploitation development in today’s buffer overflow attacks on software out of necessity due to the common use of DEP/ASLR in modern software/OS defense. Alex will be covering PGP signing and encryption.
Also
Talk: Red Dawn (Red Star OS)
Bio: KimtheIll is the number 1 hacker in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). KimtheIll does not English well.
Objective: To educate listeners on the methods used by the elite hackers of North Korea gain entry to systems in the west. To prove once and for all North Korea is a serious threat to national security. To demonstrate how to use this multi purpose operating system, from chess to hacking and dumping data bases. Show built in features of encryption, and securing red star from the constant probing of the west.
Summary: Red Star is the 100% North Korean built operating system. Red Star is described as BackTrack mixed together with Windows and provides a myraid of hacking and infiltration tools. That can incorporate open source software from the internet along with installing windows files. The GUI looks like KDE with windows icons and folders while the naming system is still linux. I could only find the 32 bit version. Red Star is also only distributed in the Korean language. Copies of Red Star will also be passed out to attendees of the meeting.
*all copy’s of Red Star OS should be considered backdoored by the (DPRK)

Full disclosure! the right way!
Full disclosure requires that full details of a security vulnerability are disclosed to the public, including details of the vulnerability and how to detect and exploit it. The theory behind full disclosure is that releasing vulnerability information immediately results in quicker fixes and better security. Fixes are produced faster because vendors and authors are forced to respond in order to protect their system from potential attacks as well as to protect their own image. Security is improved because the window of exposure, the amount of time the vulnerability is open to attack, is reduced. A guest speaker will be joining us to discuss full, limited, and responsible disclosure along with the various contraversies that surround the subject. Should researchers agree to the timelines set up by vendors for fixes and patches? What happens when a vendor refuses to come to an agreement? This talk will set the tone for conversations in ethics of disclosure and the sales of 0days in the underground.
There will also be a GNOME 3 launch party showing off some of the modern desktop’s latest features.
More presentations to be announced.
