Here are the list of talks and agenda items for this months meeting:
Building Blocks for Building Docs
Alex Hamerstone will speak on the ways that IT Professionals can become more competent and comfortable writing policies, procedures, and related documentation. He will cover how to determine which policies are necessary, how to structure documents, how to store and distribute documentation, and additional areas relevant to documentation.
Well aware that documentation is not always the favorite subject of IT professionals, Hamerstone brings a lighthearted approach to this often stuffy topic.
PowerShell … It’s time to own
David Kennedy and Joshua Kelley will be giving the same talk as presented at Blackhat/Defcon on attack vectors utilizing PowerShell.
Powershell is as close to a programming language we are going to get through a command line interface on Windows. The ability to perform almost any task we want through Windows is a huge benefit for systems administrators… and hackers. During this presentation we’ll be covering the attack vectors you can use with PowerShell and demonstrate some new Metasploit modules that were released at Defcon.
