We had a great meetup on 10/29/2023

MOKANCAN had another great meetup on 10/29/2023 at Lawrence Public Library in Lawrence, KS! Here is a list of what we discussed along with relevant links:

• Apache Guacamole

​Matt from the Lawrence Linux Users Group told the group about Apache Guacamole. Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH. Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.

• Lawrence, KS Anarchist Bookfair

​Ray from MOKANCAN talked about how the organization will have a table at the Lawrence, KS Anarchist Bookfair coming up on December 2nd. This will be MOKANCAN's first time tabling at an event. The Anarchist Bookfair starts at noon and will be taking place at Ecumenical Campus Ministries on the University of Kansas campus.

• Kansas Courts Ransomware Attacks

​The group discussed the recent ransomware attacks on the Kansas court system. While details are still not quite clear, it appears that there was an "unauthorized incursion" into a brand-new statewide computer system and affected all Kansas state courts.

• Krita 5.2.0 Released

​Another member of MOKANCAN talked to the group about the newest release of Krita. ​Krita is a full-featured free digital painting studio for artists who want to create professional work from start to end. Krita is used by comic book artists, illustrators, concept artists, matte and texture painters and in the digital VFX industry. Krita is used by millions of people all over the world.

Some of the other topics discussed during the meetup were Flipper Zero now being able to spam Android and Windows users with Bluetooth alerts, HackerOne paying ethical hackers over $300 million in bug bounties, scammers preying on social security beneficiaries by sending out letters claiming to be the Jackson County Housing Authority and telling the beneficiaries that they needed to upload social security numbers, and other personal information, to a fraudulent website, Shodan.io, and KDE Plasma Vaults.

​Thank you to everyone that showed up for the meetup! Our next meetup will be on Sunday November 26, 2023 from 2pm-4pm @ Lawrence Public Library Meeting Room C.
