NETKOTH: Network King of the Hill
Network King of the Hill is a casual way that you can stop in and learn what happens when someone is attempting to penetrate your network by doing it yourself to ours. We will be having a workshop everyday to get you started on the road to understanding this even if you have little computer experience already. Don't fear the command line! We are here to help.
LockSport Nook
Wikipedia: "Lock picking has been around for as long as locks have, and recreational lock picking has been as well. King Louis XVI of France (1754-1793) was a keen designer, picker and manipulator of locks, and physicist Richard Feynman picked locks for fun in the 1940s while employed on the Manhattan Project. Notes from the MIT Roof and Tunnel Hacking community were made widely available in 1991 as The MIT Guide to Lock Picking."
Elliot of Mr. Robot fame states: "The lock pick. Every hacker's favorite sport. The perfect system to crack, mostly because unlike virtual systems, when you break it, you can feel it. You can see it. You can hear it."
Try it for yourself! It is both easier and harder than it looks....
