The "I Wish I Were at DefCon 25" Hack-a-Thon

I thought this year would finally be the year I would make it out to DefCon 25. Rats.

Well, okay. The if the conference is four days (July 27-30, 2017) I bet I take that weekend off. So I am going to throw my own Hack-a-Thon that weekend. I will lock myself away from the world and build my own Linux distribution from scratch. If I have time left, I will use that distro to server up a LAMP website and do some penetration testing.

Goals

Build a Linux distro from scratch on a Raspberry Pi. Build a LAMP-stack website on that Pi, and attack it with Slow Loris.

Logging the Hack-a-Thon

I will be logging all the progress and mistakes I make, as I go along.

Are you doing your own DefCon Hack-a-Thon? Tell me, or edit this page with a pull request, and I will add a link to your git repo, blog, or whatever. We can build a list of everyone's separate Hack-a-thons and build a giant, virtual Hack-a-Thon to cheer each other on.
