Stolen Footage

HNN has recently suffered a small set back. We have lost all the footage that we shot while we were in San Francisco for RSA last February. That includes everything we shot on the RSA show floor, the Symantec Black Market, (which if it comes to your town you should visit) the hours of video we shot at the hacker space NoiseBridge, and several hours of a one on one interview with Joe ‘Kingpin’ Grand where we discussed everything from his stint on the hit TV show ‘Protoype This’ to all of the designs he has done for the Defcon badges. All of that footage is now gone.

Ok, Ok, the footage wasn’t lost, it was stolen, along with our video camera, laptop, microphone, hard drive lights, paperwork, etc etc etc Don’t let anyone tell you that physical security isn’t important.

For the time being HNN will soldier on. This will definitely impact all the episodes of “Behind the Firewall” we had planned to make with all that footage and the filming of a few “Buffer Overflow” episodes will now be delayed. We still plan on releasing episodes of HNNCast every week using a borrowed video camera and an old G5. You may notice a small drop in video quality but the content will maintain its ongoing high standards.

In the meantime if you would like to help us out, buy a T-Shirt. Or convince your boss to purchase an advertising or sponsorship package.

With any luck we will be back on our feet in time for HOPE and Defcon.

BeanSec (Boston, MA)

Middlesex Lounge: 315 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge 02139. 

BeanSec! is an informal meetup of information security professionals, researchers and academics in the Greater Boston area that meets the third Wednesday of each month.

Welcome to BeanSec!.

2600 Meetings (Cities Everywhere)

All meetings take place on the first Friday of the month. Unless otherwise noted, they start at 5 pm local time.

2600 MEETING GUIDELINES
1) We meet in a public area. Nobody is excluded. We have nothing to hide and we don’t presume to judge who is worthy of attending and who is not. If law enforcement harasses us, it will backfire as it did at the infamous Washington DC meeting in 11/92. (You can find more information on this event in the Secret Service section of our web site.)
2) We act in a responsible manner. We don’t do illegal things and we don’t cause problems for the place we’re meeting in. *Most* 2600 meetings are welcomed by the establishments we choose.
3) We meet on the first Friday of the month between 5 pm and 8 pm local time. While there will always be people who can’t make this particular time, the same will hold true for *any* time or day chosen. By having all of the meetings on the same day, it makes it very easy to remember, opens up the possibility for inter-meeting communication, and really causes hell for the federal agencies who want to monitor everything we do. (A few meetings have slight variations on the meeting time – these are noted accordingly.)
4) While meetings are not limited to big cities, most of them take place in large metropolitan areas that are easily accessible.While it’s convenient to have a meeting in your home town, we encourage people to go to meetings where they’ll meet people from as wide an area as possible. So if there’s a meeting within an hour or two of your town, go to that one rather than have two smaller meetings fairly close to each other. You always have the opportunity to get together with “home town hackers” any time you want.
5) All meetings *must* contact us to let us know how things are going even if nothing unusual is happening. If we don’t hear from your city on a regular basis, we’ll have to stop publicizing the site since telling people to go to where no meeting is really doesn’t do anyone a service.

Anyone can have meetings and set whatever rules they wish. However, if they’re going to be affiliated with 2600, we ask that these few guidelines be observed.
