[Crypto-chi] [ssh] Cryptoparty at SSH on December 5 from 2-4pm

[Jason Scovel]

The perp might obscured behind a cloak of smoke and encryption.

Our subject is a very prickly one.

You could try to cease all machine in the wifi radius for analysis but that
would upset plenty of people.

Those are my quick thoughts as a dog walking engineer, whose technical
knowledge is evaporating.
