Ensemble Hacking on PicoCTF

Join the Weekly Dev Chat on Jan 28th, 2025 for some ensemble hacking on the PicoCTF platform. The goal is to solve one problem, but if things go well, maybe we can solve a couple. Like previous ensemble sessions, I will share my screen and get suggestions from you, the ensemble, on how to solve the problem.

PicoCTF: https://picoctf.org/

Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others. Learn how to join the chat, and other useful information, here.

P.S. - I love the retro feel of the AI generated image for today's chat.

Live from BSides (maybe?)

The initial topic is security in general. I'll be hosting live from BSides and hopefully there won't be an technical details. Looking forward to chatting about what I've learned at BSides and any security topics we haven't touched on during this month.

September's security theme schedule:

Sep 3rd: OWASP Top 10. Focus on how to prevent the issues listed.
Sep 10th: PicoCTF exercises.
Sept 17th: Privacy. Does it matter anymore? What to store, not to store.
Sep 24th: Live from BSides (maybe?)

Privacy, does it matter anymore?

In this chat we will discuss privacy and if people think it matters anymore. I figure by now all my personal information is already out there (e.g. credit card, SIN, names, etc) that it doesn't matter anymore but I'm likely mistaken.

Less click-baity is the topic of data retention. What should be stored? Where to store it? How to safely delete data?
