SecDSM, a monthly meetup providing the opportunity to network with other InfoSec pros and listen to short tech talks presented by your fellow members (or give a presentation yourself!) while enjoying some beer/drinks/food. No sales pitches. The idea is to provide you actionable knowledge for you to take back to your $dayjob while building a top tier InfoSec community in the Des Moines area. If you have the desire to learn about real world InfoSec scenarios - get out of your comfort zone - and join us in a relaxed vendor neutral environment. No registration is required.
Schedule
We meet monthly, on the 1st Thursday starting at 6pm at Foundry Distilling Company in West Des Moines.
Trevor DeCamp Network 101: Making the Connection7:00 PM
The goal of this presentation is to provide a Network Primer for people who are already somewhat familiar with computers, or refresher for professional or aspiring folks in security or ops careers. Through the asking of some open ended questions, Trevor will step through the OSI Model and describe what connections look like using Wireshark to look at packets as a reference.
Trevor is a DMACC Cyber Security program graduate, an Iowa State University Drop Out turned Professional Employee, big fan of Network and Sysadmin, and a compulsive HomeLabber.

Jared Brees Starting a HomeLab for under $5006:30 PM
Have you wanted to build a HomeLab but haven't wanted to spend thousands of dollars on it? Do you want a playground for learning? Are you confused about what HomeLab is or why they are used? Do you want to know how to make the best use of your money for the learning you want to do? Do you want to tinker with your network, but are worried that doing so network might lead to outages for and frustration from your family/roommates/others sharing your internet connection? Do you want to play with malware but are worried it will spread to the rest of your network?
If you answered "yes" to any of these, this might be a useful talk for you!
Jared Brees is just a geek...
