Kinesics Training / Peoplehacking Class

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

For the last several barcamps, and the last two toorcons I’ve been presenting to large and small groups about the neat things that can be done with kinesics. I keep all the historic material (yes, including that spreadsheet) HERE.

I’ve found an organization out of San Francisco that does kinesics training, and based on all the feedback I’ve gotten from doing my talks over the last few years – people really dig this stuff. I thought it would be cool to have the pros come down and drop some knowledge on us all.

I’ve managed to arrange a training scenario with Humintell – 4 hours of clasroom training for $250 per person. We need at least 20 people to nail everything down so they’ll come see us down here in San Diego. Currently I have 13 people who have expressed interest in the class.

The idea is that I’ll arrange for the location (going to aim for Intuit, where we do barcamp) and the interested people, and they come to the location to do a 4 hour talk/workshop on a Saturday.

If this sounds in any way interesting, please email me or leave a comment! We’re getting really close to the target figure!

Security 101 at Refresh SD – Jan 13, Qualcomm campus

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

I thought that doing security101 at places like oggis may have been a tactical mistake because I want people to actually learn and benefit from some of this stuff, so having the discussion broken by the wait staff frequently simply murdered all the momentum the discussion had and the event turned into a hacking 101 lab where I just demonstrated attacks.

That being the case doing a security101 class in an actual classroom environment where I can have the attendees comfortable and perhaps even have a projector would likely be far far better. Phelan was gracious enough to let me usurp the january installment of refreshsd to give my security101 talk in a more meaningful and more formal environment. Refresh this month is on the 13th – see refreshsd.org for details, or see the meetup group.
Here is my proposed curriculum:

Basic networking
- How do computers talk?
- what is a packet?
- whats IN a packet?

clear text versus encryption (http, ftp, dns)
how websites pass information around
How to tell if the site you’re on is passing your information encrypted or not.
Some network voodoo – watching the stream
-driftnet
-dsniff
-watching dns queries
(the next three may or may not be permitted depending on qualcomms network configuration)
basic man in the middle example
faking ssl certs
changing dns

Hope to see you all there!
