==Areas of Interest==
*Mobile security
*Backups (especially photos)
*Cyanogenmod
*Threat Modelling
*VOIP
*Installing Linux
*Installing Lastpass
*Running DNSSEC
*Playing with alternative, secure email systems
*Chat/OTR on Android

==Agenda==
*Intros and what you're looking to get out of this cryptoparty
*Why security is important
*Split up into groups:
**Mobile security
**Lastpass (password management)
**Threat modelling (eg; activists on the street)
==Takeaways==
*GPG
*Tails is hard to get running on my machine
*TextSecure is easy!
*Helped people set up secure chats, emails, and texting
*Great one-on-one conversations
*Learned a good deal about Keypass and got it running with help!
*Learned about F Droid - an app store for procuring APKs without going
through GOogle Play
*Made a self-signed certificate and locked down CalDav
*Threat modeling - we're not much better prepared than we were with Occupy.
As an iPhone user, I'm pretty screwed no matter what. Need to talk to
lawyers re: handing over keys and such
*DNSSEC sucks! DNS is already terrible, but DNSSEC makes it worse! Clients
don't use it, registrars don't accommodate it, and if you try to use it
you're in for a headache.
*The latest version of Cyanogenmod forces you to use their cloud for your
contacts, which now must be sync'd with a cloud.
*Suggestion: Cryptoparty Movie Night!
*Suggestion: Linux Install Parties
*Feedback: Splitting the group into "let's do this now" and general
discussion was a great idea!
*Homemade vs. commercial Faraday cages for phones, and general physical
security
*How to make this knowledge more palatable to the general public? Comics
etc;
*Best cryptoparty yet! Folks came with specific questions; paired off
really smoothly; no uber-techie debates taking place; specific tasks and
breakout topics.

Hi folks!
Join us tomorrow afternoon at Sudo Room for a combined cryptoparty / mesh
node flashing party!
Learn how to encrypt your emails, phone calls, text messages, and online
chats; get support for any issues you've run into; or come share what you
know with someone new to digital security. More info here:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Cryptoparty
In the sudo room proper, we'll be flashing routers with the just-completed Sudo
Mesh firmware <https://github.com/sudomesh> (Snow Crash). Bring your own
router (must have 8MB of flash memory and be OpenWRT-compatible) or buy one
at cost from us ($75). Learn more about the project at https://sudomesh.org
Cheers,
Jenny
