Crypto Party 2015, Saturday May 16th

1

Greetings fellow suspects!

Given our esteemed leaders penchant for knowing exactly which cats we’re talking to, I think it’s time for us to host another CryptoParty!

I’m proposing Saturday May 16th, starting 13:30 and going until people have had enough!

Please share ideas for what you want to get out of it.

So far we’ll try to cover:

  • Using TOR, its pros and cons
  • Setting up PGP for mail
  • OTR messaging apps
  • Encrypted SMS
  • General Operational Security
  • PGP Keysigning

If you’ve got anything else you want to go through, please let us know, here via the wiki, or my email address ( pwarren@pwarren.id.au )

Also, If you’ve experience with something and you want to talk about it, let us know!

There’s a wiki page at: http://wiki.makehackvoid.com/event:crytpo_party_2015, which will be fleshed out over the next few weeks with a bit of an agenda and timeline.

My interest lately has been ssh key management. If in the unlikely event I find the time to flesh something out properly, I feel I could fill 20-30 minutes working through pulling private keys out of ssh-agent processes with one of the gdb scripts floating around the place (moral of the story: use a smartcard/yubikey; and/or don’t allow your ssh-agent to keep your keys loaded forever). Also, I’ve been exploring the failure modes of things like ssh-keygen on embedded devices and virtual machines starved of entropy; but it’s early days for me on that topic.

I’m sorry folks, I’m not going to be able to run this cryptoparty anymore. I may try again in a few months, after various family related things settle down.
