SUMMARY:RBTC's AI Decoded
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to dive headfirst into the world of artificial intelligence at RBTC’s AI Decoded—where innovation meets inspiration. This isn’t your average tech talk—we’re breaking down AI in a way that’s exciting\, approachable\, and packed with practical insights. \nIt’s no secret that AI is imperfect: models hallucinate incorrect facts\, perpetuate historical bias\, and can even make decisions with disastrous real-world consequences. Yet the sheer power of AI for interpreting the world around us demands a way to extract real insight from systems we know will sometimes be wrong. \nAs it turns out\, we’ve solved this problem before. Humans—imperfect\, biased\, and error-prone—have long been embedded in systems that nonetheless produce reliable outcomes. In this talk\, Eric Pauley will explore why AI models make mistakes\, why they won’t be perfect any time soon\, and how the same principles that make human-centered systems safe can help us build secure\, reliable AI-powered systems. \nWhether you’re AI-curious or already in the game\, you’ll be in great company with a community of forward-thinkers who are just as fired up as you are. \nLet’s decode the hype—and the opportunity—together. \n \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:IT Security Forum: Hands on Security Capture The Flag
DESCRIPTION:IT-Security Professionals Capture the Flag!\n\nThis year\, the RBTC IT-Security Forum CTF is on Tuesday\, March 31st\, after work from 5:30 – 9pm!   \nAre you ready to hack?!?\n\n\n\nWhether you’re a gray-beard IT-Professional\, a read-team Cyber Pentester\, or a green IT-Security n00b — if you love hands on IT-Security\, then this Capture the Flag event is for you! Our Jeopardy -Style  CTF is the #1 professional Cybersecurity in the ROA/NRV area that attracts the hottest regional Sys-Admin/IT/Network-security and Pentester professionals\, and is created and run by the Virginia Cyber Range.\n\nAgenda:\n5:00 – Arrivals\, food\, networking\n5:30 – Official start time\, announcements\, agenda\n5:45 – Sponsor microphone\n6pm – CTF start time\n9pm – CTF end time\n9:15  – awards\, photos\n\nThis year we’re moving the event to the Christiansburg New River Community College (mall) STEM campus. Our CTF features tongue-in-cheek “Hollywood-hacker” style mood lighting\, pumping electronica background music\, food\, drinks and $1\,000 in IT-Professional themed IT-Security prizes. You don’t want to miss this once-a-year regional IT-Pro event! A GREAT place to network with IT-Security professionals in a fun environment.\n\n\n\nOur Jeopardy-style\, 3hr\, hands on hacking CTF itself is loaded with brand-new challenges from classic cybersecurity categories such as Cryptography\, Recon\, Reverse Engineering\, and cool new Web challenges!.. as well as our super fun “IRL” (in-real-life) challenges that includes physical RFID/RF sniffing\, network/portscan challenges and more!\n\n\n \nGear To Bring:\nWe provide the tables and power strips\, but you need to minimally bring your laptop and power supply.  We also have a number of high-point-value “IRL” (in real life) physical challenges.. but if you want to solve these hands-on challenges\, it will benefit you bring/acquire any of the following to really rack up some big-time points.\n\n\nFlipper Zero/RTL-SDR(or equiv) RFID/RF sniffers\,\nWiFi sniffing adapters (sniffing only\, no attacks or brute force/WiFi Pineapple type devices please)\nUSB/UART adapter (for sniffing physical devices (with wires! :))\nUSB Logic Analyzers (moar wires!)\n\n\n\nYou can solve most of these challenges on Windows/Mac based laptops\, but Linux or a pentesting distro like Kali Linux or Parrot OS will come in super handy.\n \n\nOur Favorite Networking Challenge Returns!\nThe infamous Portscan LED Matrix is back!\n\n(will be a different pattern this year)\n\nOur LED Matrix\, port scanning challenge\, is always a high stress crowd pleaser. Jump through some hoops to get ssh’d in to connect and get whitelisted\, then port scan only the blue LEDs (no red) and that pops the main flag and sets off spinning red lights\, getting you some BIG points on the scoreboard!.. To prepare\, you really need to know how to work with ssh keys\, and beef up on your port scans kung-fu (see this live successful scan video here).\n\nTo RSVP\, watch for our event listing on the RBTC site here: https://www.rbtc.tech/calendar/category/rbtc-events/it-security-forum/ \n\nCome join us\, play the CTF\, have fun and learn something new!\n\nP.S. For a itemized listing of the $1\,000 in IT-Security prizes\, stay tuned to the RBTC [Security-Announce] mail list here.\n\n\nThank You to Our Sponsors & Partners\n       \n\n\n                    \n\nREGISTER NOW
