We’ll be hosting an informal reception at the Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas on Thursday, July 30 to celebrate Tony and Matt’s Black Hat and DEFCON presentations. Please RSVP to rsvp[shift+2]fyrmassociates.com or talk to one of the guys wearing the FYRM Associates shirts at Black Hat. The beer will start flowing at 6 PM and we’ll be around until at least 8 PM.

                                    Back in November, I had the opportunity to take part in the Great American Teach In. This event takes place at schools around the Tampa, FL area and invites local volunteers to come into the classrooms to teach kids about their job. The objective is to familiarize kids with differing careers and hopefully get them excited so that they do well in school. For my experience, I spoke to a group of 4th graders regarding online safety and security.

                                    During the Stealing Guests…The VMware Way presentation at ShmooCon this weekend, FYRM will be holding a contest to give away an external hard drive. The first person to exploit the discussed vulnerability on the target virtual machine and yell out the hidden phrase will win the hard drive.
In the presentation, a Perl script will be released to easily exploit the vulnerability. The to-be-released tool runs on Mac OS X (with MacPorts) and most Linux distros.
