'''Update August 2018: A group of sudoers recently met to discuss rebooting digital security workshops. Please [http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/cryptoparty join the mailing list] for updates and to get involved!'''
This cryptoparty took place on 16 February 2014 with no less than 20 engaged attendees :)
==Areas of Interest==
*Mobile security
*Backups (especially photos)
*Cyanogenmod
*Threat Modelling
*VOIP
*Installing Linux
*Installing [http://keepass.info KeePass2], a password vault program
*Running DNSSEC
*Playing with alternative, secure email systems
*Chat/OTR on Android
*Image metadata


==Agenda==
Every Third Sunday of the month from 2-5pm, Sudo Room hosts an afternoon of co-learning and teaching about digital security. The driving motivation of our cryptoparties is to learn about end-user security in a fun, welcoming and inclusive environment. Popular topics include: why digital security is important; strategies for activists and journalists; encrypted email; encrypted text messaging; encrypted phone calls; encrypting your hard drive; off-the-record instant messaging; secure web browsing; mesh networks; and presentations on newer projects. All skill levels welcome - bring your phone and/or laptop!
*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==
[[File:Anonyzebra.jpg|thumb|frameless|'''Anony Zebra''', the official Cryptoparty mascot, protecting herself from [http://grevyszebratrust.org/stripe-recognition.html Stripe Recognition]]]
*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.

=Hosting A Cryptoparty=
*Cryptoparties are best when some planning takes place before. Hold a planning meeting 1-2 weeks before the event and ping the [https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/cryptoparty mailing list] to recruit folks who've expressed interest in helping out.
*There are handouts linked to above that can be printed out at sudo - they generally live in a clear document holder / trapper keeper labelled 'Cryptoparty' located in a crate of other trapper keepers on the middle shelf between the workshop and the bike station in sudo.
*Try to reach out to communities that should be using crypto and are generally not connected to the sudo room social network. Activists, journalists, immigrants + expats, POC, etc; Consider hosting the cryptoparty in an entirely different location.
*At least a week before the cryptoparty, get the word out:
**Tweet/FB posts via Sudo Room's accounts (ask Jenny for info)
**Send an announcement to the following mailing lists:
***[https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss sudo-discuss]
***[https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/cryptoparty cryptoparty]
***[https://lists.noisebridge.net/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss noisebridge-discuss]
*Come half an hour to an hour earlier to set up:
**Put the sudo room sandwich board out
**Tape up some signage on the doors if so inclined (there are some paper signs in the clear trapper keeper)
**Find a good spot for your expected # of attendees. Check with Public School; often we have split up into several working groups using different areas of the common space, sudo room proper, and the public school room.
*Starting the cryptoparty:
**Take notes on the wiki - set up a separate wiki page for that month's event [eg; /wiki/Cryptoparty/YEAR/MONTHNAME
**Allow 15-30 minutes to get to a good group size to start
**Go around the room and ask folks to introduce themselves, their level of skill w/ crypto, what they're interested in discussing or working on that afternoon.
**Create an agenda ad-hoc and split the group as needed (pairs work great for things like helping someone set up disk encryption)
**Have fun! Encourage wide-ranging discussion but step in if things start to get to technical. Keep focus on those who are newer to the topic and have specific things they want to accomplish.

Update August 2018: A group of sudoers recently met to discuss rebooting digital security workshops. Please join the mailing list for updates and to get involved!

Every Third Sunday of the month from 2-5pm, Sudo Room hosts an afternoon of co-learning and teaching about digital security. The driving motivation of our cryptoparties is to learn about end-user security in a fun, welcoming and inclusive environment. Popular topics include: why digital security is important; strategies for activists and journalists; encrypted email; encrypted text messaging; encrypted phone calls; encrypting your hard drive; off-the-record instant messaging; secure web browsing; mesh networks; and presentations on newer projects. All skill levels welcome - bring your phone and/or laptop!

Hosting A Cryptoparty

  • Cryptoparties are best when some planning takes place before. Hold a planning meeting 1-2 weeks before the event and ping the mailing list to recruit folks who've expressed interest in helping out.
  • There are handouts linked to above that can be printed out at sudo - they generally live in a clear document holder / trapper keeper labelled 'Cryptoparty' located in a crate of other trapper keepers on the middle shelf between the workshop and the bike station in sudo.
  • Try to reach out to communities that should be using crypto and are generally not connected to the sudo room social network. Activists, journalists, immigrants + expats, POC, etc; Consider hosting the cryptoparty in an entirely different location.
  • At least a week before the cryptoparty, get the word out:
  • Come half an hour to an hour earlier to set up:
    • Put the sudo room sandwich board out
    • Tape up some signage on the doors if so inclined (there are some paper signs in the clear trapper keeper)
    • Find a good spot for your expected # of attendees. Check with Public School; often we have split up into several working groups using different areas of the common space, sudo room proper, and the public school room.
  • Starting the cryptoparty:
    • Take notes on the wiki - set up a separate wiki page for that month's event [eg; /wiki/Cryptoparty/YEAR/MONTHNAME
    • Allow 15-30 minutes to get to a good group size to start
    • Go around the room and ask folks to introduce themselves, their level of skill w/ crypto, what they're interested in discussing or working on that afternoon.
    • Create an agenda ad-hoc and split the group as needed (pairs work great for things like helping someone set up disk encryption)
    • Have fun! Encourage wide-ranging discussion but step in if things start to get to technical. Keep focus on those who are newer to the topic and have specific things they want to accomplish.
