Due to vacations and such we are skipping the August meeting.  Our next meeting will be September 18th.   That's two months to put together a presentation so if you'd like to speak just let us know.

Meeting Location

All meetings will be held from 7:00 - 9:00 PM on the 3rd wednesday of every month.  The location will be:

EMU Livonia

38777 W 6 Mile Rd # 400 

Livonia, MI

Thoughts on first mi4n6 meeting

First I would like to thank everyone who came out to our first meeting.  It was amazing to see all the people that showed up and packed the room we had.  I would also like to thank everyone that helped spread the word about mi4n6.  Whether it was via twitter, work conversations, school, you guys definitely got the word out to the community.

We have had a number of people already show an interest in presenting.  My current method of scheduling these presentations is "person asks -> I say cool -> I try and remember what slot I have open -> I make a mental note -> I forget".  This process does not scale well, so here is what I will ask in the future if you are interested in speaking.

1. Send an email to mi4n6.dfir@gmail.com stating that you would like to give a talk
2. In the email include an abstract of the presentation (so I can post it on this blog)
3. I will confirm by email with the earliest date I have available

I am also asking that if you have any suggestions about how we can better these monthly meetings to please let me know.

There were also a number of people that showed an interest in the challenge I was using as part of my presentation.  If you would like to give it a go, you can find it here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_xsNYzneAhEYjJnNmk3RTJKX3M/edit?usp=sharing

Change of location for first meeting

FYI:  I will be changing the location of the first mi4n6 meeting.  It will be held at the EMU Livonia campus instead of Ypsilanti.  I'm hoping this will make it easier for people with busy schedules to be able to attend this meeting.

The meeting location will be:

EMU Livonia

38777 W 6 Mile Rd # 400

First Meeting

Welcome...

Our first meeting will be Feb 20, 2013 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM on the campus of EMU and every 3rd Wednesday of the month thereafter. The exact room is still TBD. The topics for these meetings will be anything that is related to Incident Response, host / network forensics or detection.

I would like to keep these meetings flowing so I am proposing the following schedule. This may be adjusted depending on the number of talks scheduled.

7:00 - 7:20 - Meet and greet
7:20 - 8:05 - Presentation 1
8:05 - 8:50 - Presentation 2
8:50 - 9:00 - Closing remarks

The topics of discussion for the first meeting will be:

Brett Cunningham - WIndows memory forensics
Jack Crook - Timeline analysis

I would like for everyone that attends these meetings to also to have the opportunity to present.  If you have ideas and would like to give a talk, please let me know.  I am looking for volunteers to speak at our March meeting and beyond.

If you plan on attending the meeting, please RSVP to mi4n6.dfir@gmail.com so I can plan for the size of the room and how much pizza to order.

I hope to see you there!
