[Calloway, Chris]

When: Thursday, June 22, 7pm
Where: Caktus Group, 108 Morris St., Durham
What: This meeting will provide a light introduction to honeypots and their benefits, and highlight two projects HoneyPy and HoneyDB. Operating honeypot sensors on your internal network is a simple way to make your network “noisy” and can trip up malicious actors that have already penetrated your network. Also, leveraging data from honeypot sensors on the Internet can be a useful source of threat information. Are you leveraging honeypots in your organization? If not, why not? Adoption of these tools is likely about having simple easy to use interfaces and integrations into existing tools used by an organization. The speaker is Phillip Maddux, a Senior Solutions Engineer at Signal Sciences. Phillip has over 10 years of experience in information security, with the majority of that time focused on application security in the financial services sector. In his spare moments Philip converting ideas to code and committing them to Github. Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration are also welcome and don't need to be pre-announced. Park in the municipal deck on the other side of the Arts Council across W. Morgan St. The meeting will be followed by our usual after-meeting at a nearby tavern for food and beverage. Come join us for a fun and informative evening.
