BrainSilo

Take a look at the link for more details - feel free to come and see what were doing. We'll probably have a short General DIYBio meeting before and then make the cells. Sadly we probably only have enough materials for our meetup group, but anyone is more than welcome to come.

Also, were looking for a way to stream data from the cells online such as voltage generated and CO2 levels. If anyone has any interest in lending a hand that would be awesome!

Wish you could study faster, search through all your books in seconds like Google does (even when unavailable on Google), and get digital editions of those books currently unavailable through Amazon, Barnes and Nobles' or other online providers? Come learn how!

We will teach you to build your own high-speed (2000 pages per hour) book scanner from inexpensive parts! Daniel Reetz, the hardware guru who started the DIY book scanning project, will lead the discussion and assembly. We will donate one of the assembled scanners to Portland State University's Disability Resource Center (DRC). Any donations to our organization are tax free.

The Paper Upgrade Project, a 501(c)(3) IRS tax exempt public charity, is sponsoring this event (below for details).

"If you’re interested in soft circuits and wearable electronics, I’ve got great news. ...I’ll be kicking off a new series of bi-weekly eTextile open worksessions at BrainSilo.

This isn’t a structured class or workshop, more of a regular time to get together and talk eTextiles, work on projects, learn new skills, etc. I’ll be bringing at least one current project that I’m working on, as well as lots of resources, and I’ll have some basic kits available for sale for anyone just getting started."

The exploit workshop happens every Wednesday night at 7pm in the BrainSilo hackerspace in Portland, Oregon. The purpose of the exploit workshop is to provide an encouraging environment to hang out and improve your skills at writing exploits. Ideally we will be looking at the exploitability of bugs in osvdb that mention that an exploit is commercially available or rumored, but is not publicly available. Challenges are being created every week to encourage looking at some existing exploit code, as well as fully understanding and automating the deployment of an exploit on live systems.

Hey everybody. Got a bug you just can't land? Is there a recent CVE you've been eyeballing seductively? Just want to brush up on your appsec?

SophSec Intrusion Labs is proud to sponsor PDX Exploit Workshop, starting Wednesday September 8th at the BrainSilo hackerspace, and repeating every Wednesday until security is over.

Come to learn, to teach, or just to hang out. There will be a few VMWare exploit dev images to get people started. See you all there!

The theme of this meeting is profiling tools - static analyzer, Instruments, etc. Attendees are encouraged to prepare a short (5 - 10 minute) presentation on the topic if they have knowledge to share, or come prepared to ask questions if they have a particular interest in this topic.

A general Q&A session will follow the presentations, and then we will adjourn for beer.
