Jacksonville Linux Users' Group (JaxLUG)
The Jacksonville Linux Users' Group or JaxLUG is a diverse assembly of Linux users (beginners, casual desktop users, system administrators, developers, and IT professionals) that have a passion for supporting Linux and Free Open Source Software (FOSS) and live in or around Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan area. The JaxLUG, originally started by Daniel Stringfield in 1996, is led by Officers, who are elected annually.

Last Meeting
| When: | Wednesday, May 19th, 7pm |
| Where: | Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj1uRFMY2I9NijnQI9TN4YQ
JaxLUG Discord server: https://discord.gg/YP6mweH5Re L.U.S.H.: https://www.jaxlug.net/index.php/IRC |
| Topic: | How to block zerodays and root pwnage with WhiteBeam |
| Synopsis: | A year ago I gave a presentation to JaxLUG on some defensive software I created which used the previous state of the art in offensive security (LD_PRELOAD rootkits). In the process of creating it, I found a vulnerability in it -- and every other EDR/EPP/HIPS/HIDS I tested -- that required a ground up rewrite of theirs/our software. Which is what I did for a year, and in the process created a brand new powerful Linux userspace hooking framework. We'll login to a server with some Linux security software built on it running and test it out live, then we'll take a look under the hood to show how it works, discuss what support currently exists and what's coming, and even watch real attacks against it with some honeypots I set up to give attackers root and record new sessions. |
