| Vi Grey, on attacks used against 2-factor authentication, and why people should still be using 2-factor authentication wherever they can.
| | This park has a nice playground for the littles, picnic tables, and room to fly kites, as well as usually being unpopulated. The lack of trees and being on top of a hill mean it's pretty bug free (not that we should hopefully have to worry about that in April) even when there's not enough breeze to fly the kites. |
|
| |
|
| --
| | Please bring your family and friends who might want to hang out. Bring your own kites. If you don't want to sit at the picnic tables or on the playground equipment, bring your own folding chair. And bring your own beverage. Since it's April, we're skipping the traditional ice cream. |
|
| |
|
| 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.

| Topic: An Introduction to Docker
| |
| | |
| Containers seem to be the current buzzword, and Docker is at the head of the list. Join us for an introduction to the world of Docker containers, and a practical demonstration as well. We’ll look at how to use Docker from the command line, and how it can be managed via a web interface. We’ll also discuss some security aspects which various vendors are trying to address. The presentation will be interactive, with questions welcome.

| The March meeting topic - you! Yep, this meeting will be all about you, in a low-preparation way.
| |
| | |
| --
| |
| | |
| The topic for mini-presentations: If you knew then what you know now, what if anything would you do differently for:
| |
| | |
| a) hardware choices
| |
| | |
| b) programming languages
| |
| | |
| c) software investments
| |
| | |
| d) job choice
| |
| | |
| e) where to invest your computer/tech-related volunteer time
| |
| | |
| f) anything else computer/tech related that you feel up to passing judgment on (if you have topics to suggest people brainstorm on, please send those to the list)
| |
| | |
| --
| |
| | |
| So please attend, and be prepared to offer some opinions. No Powerpoint required.
| |
| | |
| As extra encouragement to attend, and for those of you who are PCIG members to be present for voting, don't forget that our annual March meeting is also a celebration of Pi day! Courtesy of family support, we have semi-homemade peach pie, and thawed key lime pie, to enjoy.
| |
| | |

| We did not get any volunteers for speakers, so we'll go play instead.
| |
| | |
| We're going to hang out at the Machine Shed. Costs are:
| |
| | |
| $10 ages 13+

| |
| | |
| The [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MachineShed/ Machine Shed website].
| |
| | |
| They're open from 4-8 pm, and the cost is flat per session, so if you feel like arriving early for longer gaming that's certainly fine. They also sell snacks, drinks, and pizza, so you can come straight after work.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| | |
| Note that the signage is almost non-existent, they have a plain text-only sign on the appropriate door, but no big sign on the building. The parking lot there IS for customers, or you can park on the street. I won't be attending, you'll have to gather around someone else.

| |
| | |
| | |
| ArborWay Labs presents a demonstration of its automatic relational technology or ART Studio
| |
| | |
| ArborWay Labs will present a live demonstration of its automated
| |
| relational technology system called the ART Studio. It is a proof of concept that
| |
| generates database applications automatically using context-sensitive interfaces that
| |
| guide designers through our step-by-step process. In the first half of our presentation,
| |
| we will explain how and why our technology breaks new ground with the RDBMS on the
| |
| white board. Next, we will build a small database application from a 5-table database
| |
| system that will be posted on our server. The audience will be encouraged to browse
| |
| and explore the “100 Best TV Episodes database” on their own personal computing
| |
| devices. This part of the demonstration will be limited to smart phones, tablets, and
| |
| laptops. Stay tuned for the launch of our smart watch database applications in the
| |
| Summer’17.
| |
| | |
| ArborWay Labs is a Rochester, MN based start-up that aims to change the way today’s
| |
| professionals build and distribute database applications. With ArborWay’s ART Studio,
| |
| database applications are generated by a design activity that automates the production
| |
| of SQL, object-relational mapping, and all code that was previously crafted by hand.
| |
| | |
| | |
| It is rumored Dennis may be having a birthday (and providing cupcakes), and ArborWay is providing two pizzas.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Also, K-LUG officer elections, and PCIG officer nominations.
