December 19th was another great IT Club meeting. We had a special presentation by Ron Woerner. Mr. Woerner is an IT Security Risk Manager and President of InfraGard's Omaha chapter.
We discussed many aspects of information security. One of the first and perhaps most important things Mr. Woerner mentioned was the concept of ethical hacking. There are plenty of ways to hack without damaging things or breaking the law.
Mr. Woerner then went on to discuss the five phases of attack, internet hacking, tools, resources, and recommended reading.
He also mentioned a wish to return in 2010 to discuss interviewing for an IT job. Keep watching for more ways to glean some more helpful information from a local IT professional.
Also, you may have noticed a trend of free food and prizes just for attending. This month was no exception. Another 16GB flash drive was won by Felix Becerra. So make sure you're there in January.
SIDENOTE: Don't forget about the LAN party on January 9th from 6-9:30PM in lab 3. If you had perfect attendance so far this quarter you will be eligible to win a netbook!
