Abstract:
IBM (Lotus) Notes/Domino systems had their haydays in the 1990ties. Still quote a lot of banks, insurances, etc. store loads of business relevant data in those applications and even expose them to the Web.
After a short introduction to the technology and security concepts behind Notes/Domino, I will guide you through the convinient options to extract data from these systems.

After a quick tour through the most dangerous worst practices in Domino administration, that open up vulernabilities we will end with password extraction and decryption.

iOS VPN Security (Jack Wilson)

| February 20th, 2018

Level: Technical

Abstract:
Due to the increasing number of recommendations for people to use VPN’s for privacy reasons, more app developers are creating VPN apps and publishing them on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. In this ’gold rush’, apps are being developed quickly and, in turn, not being developed with security fully in mind. The talk will cover the research (so far) for my final year dissertation/thesis around iOS VPN security analysing common traits and some of the weird findings.

The full proposal for my project an be found at https://jack.lu/s/Honours-Project-Proposal.pdf

Abstract:
What are the tools to effectively manage a hackerspace? In this talk I’ll walk you through the infrastructure and services that we chose to set up at Mittelab Hackerspace, as well as the rationale behind the choice. We’ll explore how can people communicate better with the right tools, and what is needed to maximize collaboration potential.

The talk starts with what is in our experience needed to communicate effectively in a medium sized group (50-100 people), and then illustrates the tools and open source software that can be used to achieve that. There will be details on how to set up Discourse, Gitlab, Dokuwiki with central authentication via SAML and how FreeIPA can be used to manage hackerspace members’ access to both external (public) services and internal (wifi and computer login).
