B-Sides January

Very successful team building and planning event tonight. Not much to be said other than if everything plans out as we hope, this is gonna be one KICK ASS event! Presently from a CTF perspective many thoughts are floating about. Sidelines within the attack area for "Demonstrate\Teach an exploit" or "basic techniques of web penetration on live targets". Obviously much of this engages and looks to pull in the technically savvy, While I certainly wouldn't expect anything to the level of greatness that are Defcon, Schmoocon, or so many others, it would certainly be an amazing opportunity for both the trainer and students or budding engineers. Another immediate thought is subdivisions within the area it's self. Within each subdivision could be a live defense area, that is being attacked by a separate group, as well as network monitoring or forensics in another area. I really like this idea although do not believe it could be a center piece yet, likely more so an addition to a center layered lab environment. The lab it's self will likely remain secret to all but a few until the day of fun. However I would expect; wifi and hopefully rfid challenges, passive network IDS, use of pivoting in higher levels, and definitely vulnerable web applications and databases. Right now... this is certainly just a thought and a dream, but with any luck and whole lot of hard work, well let's just see what we can do!
