So, I have been attending the local 2600 meetings in an effort to meet new people and get a feel for the local community. There are actually some really good security people out here. They are doing great research and are just cool people.
I have also organized a meet and drink after the 2600 meeting at the Foundry nightclub. Last week we had 6 people show up and just hang out. We all broke out the laptops and spent alot of time just snooping for local wireless connections and sharing stories.
The talk also turned to starting a packet wars club in the Dayton area. Everyone is really interested in setting up a packet wars competition and putting our skills to the test. Angus, our fearless leader has stated that he would be very interested in starting the packet wars, but he wants to look into getting sponsors for our events. I say, let's get started and then get the money after the fact.
I have also found my hacker name. It seams that all cool hackers have some sort of name like pixel or sokket or something cool. I wanted my hacker name to kinda sum up who I was as a person. So, from this point forward, I will be know as "xs" in the hacker community. Simple and sweet. Why xs? Because it seems like everything I do is done to excess. Thus the name "xs".
Later
