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!
Technical Meeting: June 8th, 2017

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.

RochesterFest lunch: Thursday June 22nd
June downtown lunch at RochesterFest (Soldier's Field track oval), Thursday June 23rd, 11:30 am, weather permitting (rain date TBD). For those of you downtown who aren't up to walking that far (or your schedule doesn't permit the extra time), they are doing free trolley rides again 11-2 from in front of the Marriott Hotel; and new this year they're adding a trolley run from St. Mary's (Monday and Thursday only, we got lucky). Hopefully they will publish some coupons for food vendors again this year, if so I'll add a link later. Here's a map of the vendors and a listing of items to be for sale.
