November

Postby AltF4 on Thu Oct 22, 2009 8:02 am

Hey,

The first Friday of November is coming up soon. Would you guys like a talk on cryptography? I work a lot with crypto at school (grad student at ASU). I could go over a lot of topics that you might miss by trying to educate yourself on the matter. And I think cryptography is kind of a scary topic for a lot of people. Ever wonder exactly what you're doing when you're cracking a WEP network? Go over some of the history behind crypto, Information Theory, techniques in cryptanalysis, etc... Not too much math though. No prior PhD in math required. ;)

Does this seem too... academic? It's not the usual format of "Here's a thing. Here's how to hack the thing."

(Btw, I dropped the "Warrior" in my old name. I'm just AltF4 now. Avatar changed, too. But I'm still the same person. :))

It's for my thesis. Which I would love to talk about at the meeting, too! It's a cryprographic Wifi protocol. I'll show you the design and you guys can try to break it. ;)

I could probably use some tips for how to implement it, too. I want to make an OpenWRT image with some code on it. But for actual libraries to make a link layer protocol? I dunno.

I can bring a data projector. Does anyone have access to a screen?

This sounds like a great presentation.
