IVU @ Defcon 31

With both Defcon and IVU back in-person, it only seems fitting to have an IVU meetup at Defcon.

This year, we met for a quiet dinner before going our separate ways to hack the planet.

Smells Like Chicken!

Wait no… you’re holding it wrong.

This months IVU meetup (June 2017) we will be spending time soldering the DEFCON Jack! Currently being sold on the DEFCON Communications store (here). Pick up yours before the meeting if you can.

We will have a few soldering kits available and a few extra DEFCON Jack kits for a few lucky folks. Come join us and help the noobs hold the soldering iron right or come learn how to hold the soldering iron right by listening to the not so nooby people!

Here’s a sample of the before and after from Israel.

All skill levels welcome.

If you have any questions come find us and ask!

LayerOne 2016

LayerOne is a computer security conference located in Los Angeles, California. Since 2004, we’ve featured speakers from all across the globe and on topics ranging from lockpicking and MPLS security to covert data gathering and HIPAA compliance. Our speakers come from a diverse background and include a focus not just on the nuts and bolts of technology but the social impact as well.

One of the defining features of LayerOne is the overwhelming amount of hands-on workshops, events, and contests available to all attendees. From electronics to lock picking to no-holds-barred hacking competitions, LayerOne has something for everyone to learn more and enjoy themselves throughout the conference.

LayerOne 2016 will be held on May 28-29, 2016. For more information, visit http://www.layerone.org. Online pre-registration ends May 25th, and discounted hotel room rates end May 6th – book now and save!

Disconnect Camp May 1-3 2015

Irvine Underground has been invited to the first ever Disconnect Camp happening May 1-3, 2015. This one of a kind event is at a summer camp venue located near Big Bear, California. With a unique venue comes unique approaches to how a conference is ran. All food is included, tent camping is encouraged (although cabins are available) and instead of talks you will be able to actively engage with the presenters who are coming down for the event.

Get that tent and those hiking boots out of storage (or head to your local sporting goods store and pick up a few things) and join everyone in the mountains of southern California for a weekend of tech, trees, and camping (really, glamping … food is catered for the event! and there are showers! Showers are important.)

If you would like a ticket you can use the invitation code: “iattendivu”. If you would like to coordinate sharing a cabin, come to the next IVU.

P.S. I’ve been told there is a 24/7 nacho cheese fountain.

LayerOne Conference – Memorial Day Weekend

LayerOne is security conference focused on hacking and security. This years conference will be held Saturday and Sunday of Memorial day weekend in Monrovia. Amongst the talks there are also a few featured events worth mentioning including the Lock pick village, hardware hacking village, HAM testing (Get your HAM license), tamper-evident contest and the infamous capture the flag event.

Many of the Irvine Underground folks will be present at LayerOne. Come support this local conference memorial day weekend! More information at LayerOne.org

IVU at Defcon XVI

As usual we’ll be at defcon this year! Be sure to stop by the booth and do a dance for everyone!

Another great get-together… IVU at Medieval Times Drinking and Yelling – Red Knight got pwned… but didn’t matter anyway since the story is different now. (more…)
