March Capsec

It looks like there will be some folks at the Brickskeller this evening. If you’re on the fence, I urge you to stop by, and/or drop a line on one of the various blogs to say you are coming. We’re doing this very last minute this month.

I must admit that I’ll be bugging out early, but Matt and hopefully others will be there.

The next CapSec date (3/27) is right around the corner, but most of the regulars are going to be on travel or in training.

Is anyone interested in coming? If I see some responses, I will call “game on” and post it for real.

Please RSVP if you want to have a CapSec this month.

If we don’t have one, the next scheduled date is 4/24/08.

Trying to give people a little more notice this month, now that Shmoocon is out of the way.

Come join the usual cast of crazies at

The Brickskeller

Washington DC 20037

Topics of discussion (other than what beer to try this week) will hopefully include the usual current events, with possibly ShmooCon wrap-up and thoughts, and maybe Black Hat DC if someone made the trek.

I try to get there closer to 7, but no promises as I’ll be out of town for part of that week and may be playing catch-up.

We are usually upstairs at the round table just below the little raised section — though if we get enough people, we’ll move to a big table.

Please RSVP if you think you can make it here, or on Upcoming.

It’s getting towards that time of the month — “Last Thursday” is only a week away.

So, that means it’s time to start hollering about the January CapSec meetup at the Brickskeller.

Though if you get there a little early, we won’t tell. Matt and I tried to make it around 7 last time.

We are usually upstairs at the round table just below the little raised section — though if we get enough people, we’ll move to a big table. Maybe we can take over the balcony some day . . . Please RSVP if you think you can make it.

It’s short notice and with the holidays, it’ll probably be quieter than last time, but there will be a December CapSec meeting:

Thursday, Dec 27

7.00 -> until we leave

Brickskeller Bar and Saloon

1523 22nd St NW, Washington DC

Please leave a comment if you expect to be there. Or, if you expect to be in Berlin for the 24C3 leave a comment so we can talk jealously about you.

Thanks to all who made it out last night — I had a great time, and it was good to see new faces.

If anyone wants an authoring account here, please email me.

I believe the tentative date for the next meeting will be December 27th.

I’d also like to throw out the idea that if we start getting over a dozen people, we might want to think about alternate venues — or are people still good with the Brickskellar? It seems that our group kind of freaked the wait staff out a bit this time around (or was it just me?), and I’m wondering if we might do better with a place with a little more free form space.

The next CapSec meeting will be taking place next week, hopefully after everyone has had a little while to recover from Thanksgiving.

Sound off if you think you’ll make it, it appears that CitySec.org is down for the indeterminate future :-/

Mark Bristow and myself spoke at Refresh DC this week, on the topic of Web Application Security.

Here is that presentation as PDF, as PPT, or you can view it on Adobe’s Share service (though there are conversion issues with images on the title page).

About Us

Cap Sec DC is a subset of the CitySec movement. We’re a bunch of Information Security professionals in the Washington DC Metropolitan area, who get together about once a month to socialize and have a few drinks.

Another good resource to check is our Google Group at http://groups.google.com/group/capsecdc

Currently, we’re meeting on the last Wednesday of every month at around 7:30 PM

We are taking a hiatus from the Brickskeller as our bar of choice, and are going to try another venue or two in the warmer months.

Sometimes the date varies, so please check back occasionally.
