Mastodon #introduction for the Dallas Hackers Association.
We are a diverse group of hackers, coders, white hats, gray hats, black hats, 1337s, skiddies, and a couple of undercover feds.
We give fire talks: very short, dense, technical talks on hacking, code, security, and methodology.
We have Capture the Flag and Locksport.
All open source, open methodology, community driven.
We meet the 1st Wednesday of every month. More info: https://dallashackers.com

the "tell us whether these expressions evaluate to true or false!" ones are the worst.
I've done a bajillion truth tables, and DeMorgan's Laws, and FOL. I've paid my dues. Just let me skip the lessons.

also my Great Avatar Search came to an end when I realized that I bear a striking resemblance to the kid from the Houdini album cover
So I'm reading up on DCOM shit right now. I've been so focused on *nix, especially embedded Linux, for so long that every time I read about the Windows ecosystem it blows my mind.
Like, remember how you felt when you learned that in some countries women aren't allowed to drive? And you're like "what the fuck, how does that even exist on our planet in Year of Our Lord 2018"? That's how I feel about most of Windows.

OK, I'm kicking off the third annual #PGPDay.
What is PGP Day?
It is a day set aside by the fediverse to teach people PGP.
Why?
One day three years ago, on a server that most instances have suspended, a group of teenaged shitposters were taught how to use PGP email. As many as 8 people under the age of 20 were taught that day, a feat never before accomplished and thought to be impossible.
Since that day we have found many that wanted to learn, but felt intimidated. We want to fix that.
DNS over TLS is a thing btw. You can shield your DNS from 3rd party listeners by providing all your DNS to some (single) company exclusively with pfSense. Choose your poison. https://www.netgate.com/blog/dns-over-tls-with-pfsense.html #servicetoot
I threw in the towel on the radare API. Just ended up using rabin2’s json output.
glorified shell scripting is less a e s t h e t i c but it sure is easier!

@haystack just spent a plane ride w/o source access, so tried to RE rabin2 w/ r2. didn’t quite get there.
does anyone have (or know of) example code for radare2’s python bindings?
I haven’t quite reached the “fuck it I’ll just start pokin at it” stage yet.
look if y’all are going to share social media with me, you should know that I periodically get drunk and become aggressive towards Node and Electron people.
I just have very strong opinions on where JS does and doesn’t belong
some infosec company is running an automotive security class and doing the entire thing on vehicle networking. syllabus shows brief mention of software/hardware reversing?
take it from me, having an in-depth knowledge of the ISO15765 stack isn’t nearly as useful as these guys seem to think.
what’s a good avatar generator?
I always GIS some picture of “Bob” but I’d like to change it up
Hello, I’m an ex-academic which means my main skills are giving presentations about nothing and writing papers about nothing.
I’m also an Infosec Guy currently working with automotive systems. Trying to upskill beyond my current niche. IDK what a Mimikatz is but it sounds fluffy.
