Social Media for Nerds

Presented By: Scott Granneman

What 'social media' might a nerd or techie want to use? Mastodon? Slack? Discord? TechTV? Twitch? What are the differences between these and other social media? Why use one rather than another?

An adventure in starting network 'sniffing'

Presented By: Grant TaylorLee Lammert

Are you just starting to 'sniff' to see what is going on at that network interface? Last month we showed an overview of how to start and 'get the feel.' This month, lets look at some specifics. (This is a tutorial, so if it seems a bit esoteric, we expect folks to ask questions. We hope for a good discussion.)

Our mission tonite is to have Wireshark SSH to a system and run tcpdump remotely and send the packet data back to Wireshark on the client.

To do this, the client needs to be able to log into the remote system and gain sufficient privileges to run tcpdump without password prompts.
