Vi Grey, on attacks used against 2-factor authentication, and why people should still be using 2-factor authentication wherever they can.

=== Social:  Sunday August 6th, 2017 ===
Ice cream social and kite flying! 


With account data breaches occurring at companies, a password alone isn't enough to protect our accounts.  Two-Factor Authentication has been introduced in more services, but it isn't perfect.  In this presentation, I explain the importance of Two-Factor Authentication and attacks against different forms of Two-Factor Authentication.  I will also be debuting my proof-of-concept Man-in-the-Middle attack on FIDO Universal Second Factor (U2F) USB hardware authentication.

K-LUG - Rochester, MN Area Linux Users Group

Note: To request a wiki account, please join the mailing list and post a message.

We can use presentations for upcoming meetings, please see a list of ideas if you're willing but lacking a topic.


LUG News

We generally meet monthly for technical presentations (2nd Thursday of the month, 6 pm, RCTC), and monthly for socializing (varies). We no longer meet monthly for lunches, if you are interested in reviving this tradition please contact an officer.

Did you used to be on our email list and suddenly haven't gotten email for months? We had a glitch and it caused many people to get unsubscribed; unfortunately Tina doesn't have a way of knowing who all we lost. Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!
