Create an image with a visually striking, dark-themed background suggestive of cybersecurity; incorporate a circuit board pattern to represent technology. Position a large semi-transparent shield symbol in the center that represents protection. On the left side, depict artificial intelligence and cybersecurity with a neural network pattern, a lock icon, a generic security software logo, and an image of a friendly robot opposing a cyber attacker silhouette. On the right side, represent network sniffing with the illustrations of different generic network sniffing tools, a magnifying glass over a network diagram, data packets, a network topology, and a Wi-Fi symbol with an eye icon included. Throughout the image, subtly include binary code or matrix-like elements and use neon blue or green highlights to make things pop out. The entire image embodies a futuristic, security-centric theme.

Cybersecurity & AI - A Review

Presented By: Tony Zafiropoulos

Reviewing where we are and what we need to look out for both positive vs. negative (IE. AI as used in attacks vs. in defense)

An adventure in starting network 'sniffing'

Presented By: Grant TaylorLee Lammert

Just starting to 'sniff' to see what is going on at that network interface?

Is it: ... fast? ...Slow? ...Screwed up? ...HACKED??

What are you looking for?

What are the tools (WireShark, Sniffer, etc...)?

How to start sniffing...?

Have you ever:

'sniffed' a network?

Searched for specific traffic (e.g.DNS)?

Captured that traffic without taking disk space on that source system?

Analyzed that traffic in clear text?

Be sure to attend the tutorial on Wednesday and get these questions answered, and more!

But wait!! This is only the FIRST tutorial in a series of increasing complexity with members of the 'SLUUG Sysadmin Team' contributing different perspectives to diagnose issues with one of our serves.

Tease: If you're curious what 'tcpdump', 'Wireshark', 'tshark', and 'snoop' have to do with network sniffing, then you're going to want to make sure to attend ....

And, if you thought sniffing unencrypted traffic was impressive, wait until you can do and SEE with encrypted traffic. Yes, you read that correct, we're going to look into encrypted traffic from a network sniffer. (More likely encrypted will be in future month's presentation, but tonite will lead you to it.)

Meeting Agenda

At 6:00p.m. Central Time the meeting opens. Participants are encouraged to join at this time to if they need to test their microphone, screen sharing, and video camera.

At 6:30p.m. Central Time we begin with our BASE presentation. The BASE presentation is intended to be an introductory level session ( often focused on personal computing ); which may include either amazing graphical packages, blinking lights, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, displays of newly discovered web sites, major resolution of long standing anomalies, quantum discoveries, smoke and mirrors, superb tutorials, or shifts in both time and space.

At 7:00p.m. Central Time we attempt a quick welcome, introductions, announcements, current events of interest, and a general CALL FOR HELP (Questions and Answers) segment.

At 7:15p.m. Central Time the MAIN presentation begins. The MAIN presentation is intended to be something more advanced, detailed, important, new, profound, significant, timely or useful and is often focused on enterprise computing.
