[sudo-announce] Cryptoparties: Now Coming Monthly to a Sudo Near You!

Due to incredible enthusiasm and demand, Sudo Room will now be hosting monthly Cryptoparties! Join us from 2-5pm every Third Sunday to learn about digital security and get up and running with basic tools for privacy and anonymity. * * *What's a Cryptoparty?* A Cryptoparty is a safe space for learning about digital security, privacy and anonymity. In the wake of Snowden's leak of the NSA's PRISM project, digital security has become a widespread concern. What most people don't know enough about is the advantages and disadvantages of various tools such as TOR, GPG, and OTR. *That's a lot of acronyms! * No worries! Friendly geeks will be giving presentations, answering any questions, and leading hands-on workshops to get you comfortable using the right tools for you. By the end of the day, you'll have learned security techniques & software, understand why responsible security is important, and have made friends with other proactive residents! Bring your phone and your laptop. *All* skill levels are welcome! Spread to your networks. Fliers to come!
