::DEFCON 201 — CODE OF CONDUCT::

Welcome to the July 2019 DEFCON 201 Meet Up!

Despite all the crazy last minute scheduling (Again: F#$king Barry!), the show must go on! For those that could not make it last weekend, our regularly “scheduled” programming will happen today. Bring your projects, socialize, and hack the planet in the middle of the summer.

We are going to show everyone that we are your average American computer explorers, hired geeks!

About Our Venue:

We welcome you to Sub Culture at 260 Newark Ave in Jersey City. Five blocks from the Grove Street Path station and right on the NJ Transit Bus Stop; enjoy Free-Wifi, affordable (meat and vegan) food, power strips, video games on Raspberry Pi and sweet times!

Ye Old Constitution

:..>DEFCON 201 was proud this month to finally posted its Constitution and Code of Conduct. What is the Constitution? What is kosher in the Code of Conduct? How does it affect meetings going forward and how can YOU become a member and get involved? All will be answered and more!

:.> Bio: Bio: GI Jack is one of the Co-Founders of DEFCON 201. He might have seen a Ninja that had built their own hacker variant of Arch Linux known as Ninja OS. You might be able to also find this ninja at: https://ninjaos.org/

Slipping A Mickey: The Strange Hackable Technology of The Walt Disney Corporation

Even if you live under a rock, everyone on planet earth has heard of M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E and the Walt Disney empire that has managed to copyright three circles. Starting back in the 1950’s with it’s engineering breakthroughs and it’s groundbreaking theme park, the Walt Disney Corporation has always used the latest technology to shake down people’s wallets. In this talk, we will go through a select history of these technologies from the scrapped EPCOT future city, to the innovative People Movers, the ill-fated Go.com domain and the Magic Band RFID badges that are being used today! And of course, how to hack all of them!

:..>Bio: A Co-Founder of DEFCON 201, an open group for hacker workshop projects in North East New Jersey, Sidepocket is constantly wanting to help people to get better at whatever they want to do and learn. He also has a history with NYC 2600, Radio Statler at Hackers on Planet Earth, Phone Losers of America, Museum of Urban Reclaim Spaces and The Yes Men.

PGP/GPG Rant

:..>A few revalations has passed and PGP has exposed new security flaws in it’s system. Here is the entire rundown from a man who really, REALLY hates PGP encryption. Sit down, have a Sub Culture Sandwhich, this one will be longer and grueling like a Windows 10 update!

:.>Bio: NCommander (@fossfirefighter) lives in New York and is a contributor to multiple free and open-source software projects, an Ubuntu core developer, and an active developer for the Hermes Center for Transparency working on the GlobaLeaks project. In his free time, he likes to travel, write, and play with radios.
