SUMMARY:💭 'Fuzzy Logic Inferencing in Security Applications' with Raymond Garcia
DESCRIPTION:The next Trashpanda Village meetup is Thursday\, March 16th at 6:00 p.m. See you there! \nFuzzy Logic Inferencing in Security Applications \nFuzzy Logic has been around since the 1960’s. There is an open standard for a fuzzy control language\, several libraries exist that ease the implementation of applications\, and its use is (sometimes unwittingly) necessary in situations where human expertise does not have closed-form expressions for metrics that have “degrees of membership” (think secure vs “very” secure\, small vs “really” small\, etc.). Since the 1960’s\, the uses of fuzzy logic include areas of automatic control\, quality control\, industrial processes\, investment strategies\, component testing\, pattern recognition\, and classification. Applications of information assurance soon followed in multi-level secure database access\, network security assessments\, threat detection\, and risk analysis to name a few. \nWhat this presentation aims to achieve via illustrative examples and demonstrations is to inform the audience on fuzzy logic & inferencing in its application to security. \nAbout the Presenter: Raymond Garcia\, Ph.D. \nRay is experienced as both an applied researcher and a practitioner in the public sector and across several areas in the private sector that include the telecommunications\, pharmaceutical\, and banking industries. Within these industries\, Ray has used a variety of technologies in applying natural language processing\, numerical techniques\, and machine learning to subject matters that include insider threat\, information assurance\, and situational awareness. \nRay has a BS (Temple U.)\, ME (Penn State)\, and Ph.D. (Georgia Tech) in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Applied Mathematics. \n➡️ Register on Meetup

SUMMARY:Book Launch Party for 'Space Rogue: How the Hackers Known as L0pht Changed the World'
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, February 24th at 6 p.m. we’re hosting a book launch party for Space Rogue: How the Hackers Known as L0pht Changed the World by Cris Thomas. Join us at 6:30 for a reading and Q&A with the author\, followed by a book signing. We’ll have drinks and snacks. \nYou can buy the book here! \nAbout the book: \nIn May 1998\, the US Congress invited the seven members of the L0pht to testify on the state of government computer security. Two years later\, that same group rode the Dot-com bubble to create the preeminent security consultancy the industry has ever known\, @stake. Along the way\, they stood up against tech giants like Microsoft\, Oracle\, Novell and others to expose weaknesses in those companies’ premiere products. Despite the L0pht’s technical prowess\, the group could not keep what they had built together as money and internal politics turned friend against friend. Look inside L0pht Heavy Industries\, or simply The L0pht\, one of the most influential hacker groups in history. From formation\, to congressional testimony\, to going legit and the aftermath that followed. Follow the hacker ‘Space Rogue’ as he takes you on a journey through the magical hacker scene of the 1990s.The L0pht hacker collective no longer exists\, but its legacy lives on. L0pht set the standard for how the cyber security industry now releases vulnerability information. Famous hackers that were once L0pht members\, Mudge\, Weld Pond\, Kingpin\, Dildog\, Space Rogue\, and others have done even more impressive things in the following years. The hackers and consultants hired by @stake and indoctrinated into the L0pht way of thinking have now become giants in the industry. All the hackers who read security information off the L0pht’s website\, downloaded software from the Whacked Mac Archives\, or watched the Hacker News Network and became inspired have changed the world more than the L0pht could have ever done alone. The L0pht’s message of bringing security issues to light and getting them fixed still echoes throughout the industry and is more important today than ever. The L0pht’s dire warning of an increasingly dependent culture on a fragile Internet made during their testimony twenty-five years ago still holds true. In fact\, the Internet may be in even worse shape today. Is it too late to listen? \nAbout Space Rogue: \nWith over two decades of experience\, Space Rogue (Cris Thomas) has testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs\, and has been interviewed by Wired\, CNBC and even MTV. He created the wildly popular websites the Whacked Mac Archives and Cyber Squirrel 1. He produced the weekly podcast SpiderLabs Radio\, and the critically acclaimed weekly news video program the Hacker News Network. His writing has appeared in Network Computing\, New Statesman\, The Hill\, and the Christian Science Monitor. He has spoken at security conferences such as Def Con\, Blackhat\, and Shmoocon. Space Rogue currently works as the Global Lead of Policy and Special Initiatives for the legendary IBM X-Force.

SUMMARY:Zine Launch and Social for "Fuck a Cellicon Valley: Against the Proposed Development of Bartram's North and South"
DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday\, February 19th at 3:30 p.m. to celebrate the launch of “Fuck a Cellicon Valley\,” a zine about a development plan that would displace residents and destroy wild space in the area around Bartam’s North and Bartam’s South. We’ll have snacks and free zines! \nRead the zine\nPrint the zine \nHere’s an excerpt: \nAfter we heard rumors about UPenn developing the land around Bartram’s North we did some research and discovered an evil plot. In 2013 a group of economists\, developers\, city planners\, and other villians came up with the Lower Schuylkill Master Plan\, a 143 page document envisioning a “21st century industrial district” in Southwest Philly along the Schuykill river corridor. The report details massive development projects to be carried out over 20-25 years. Reading the report in 2023 provided us with some answers and many many questions.  \nThe Master Plan is worth looking over carefully if you are someone who cares about environmental destruction and gentrification. You can find it online at https://www.design.upenn.edu/sites/default/files/LSMP_Small.pdf  \nThe plan breaks up the development projects into three sections. The first is a Logistics Hub\, connected to the Philadelphia Airport\, whose recent expansion destroyed wetlands to build a cargo facility. We’ve already seen how this has gone down for the FDR meadows. The second is the Energy Corridor in South Philly\, where they are currently focused on remediating decades of industrial pollution from oil infrastructure. The remediation is predicted to take years\, then they’re going build factories.  \nThe third zone\, the Innovation District\, is the focus of this zine. Because it is closest to us\, because it threatens the places we live in and love. In writing this zine\, we hope that other people will look into the master plan and oppose gentrification as they see it manifest in their contexts.  \nThe Innovation District consists of the Pennovation Center and the areas near Bartram’s North and Bartram’s South including some wild lands and spaces. We spend a lot of time in those spaces and despite what developers think\, there is already vibrant activity\, innovation\, and life\, we don’t want to see the area get paved over and built up. \n… \nThe Lower Schuylkill Biotech Campus is part of what people at the University of Pennsylvania are calling “Cellicon Valley”. It’s an attempt to brand Philly as the next hi-tech hotspot for pharmaceutical companies and research institutions. Like Silicon Valley\, Cellicon Valley is a bad and annoying idea that should never come to fruition. It’s literally a scheme to capture\, commodify\, and sell us ways to live\, by destroying and locking us out of the ways we live.

SUMMARY:💾🌾 Permacomputing Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Our next permacomputing meetup is on Sunday\, February 12th at 1:00 PM EST. You can join us in person at Iffy Books (319 N. 11th St. #2I\, PHL) or via Jitsi audio stream. \n\n\n\n➡️ Jitsi Stream Link\nFrom Permacomputing.net: \nPermacomputing is a more sustainable approach to computer and network technology inspired by permaculture. Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in digital technology. \nIn a time where computing epitomizes industrial waste\, permacomputing encourages a more sustainable approach\, maximizing hardware lifespans\, minimizing energy use and focussing on the use of already available computational resources. We do this because humans are part of nature and technology is an extension of humans\, and we acknowledge that technology has been used to harm nature. We want to find out how we can practice good relations with the Earth by learning from ecological systems to leverage and re-center existing technologies and practices. We are also interested in investigating what a permacomputing way of life could be\, and what sort of transformative computational culture and aesthetics it could bring forward. \nIf you want to know more\, please start reading about what is permacomputing in essence\, and then dive into its principles. \n
