SUMMARY:Antisyphon Training | Keeping Things Local: Build It\, Mesh It\, Lock It
DESCRIPTION:Note: This workshop is still evolving. \nAdditional details and registration links will be added as they become available.\nWhat good is a private AI if you can only use it from the keyboard it runs on? This four hour workshop takes security practitioners past simply installing Ollama and into building something bigger: a locally hosted model your whole team can reach. You’ll customize models for your own workflows\, connect systems over an encrypted mesh network\, and put an authentication layer in front of everything. Because it all runs on hardware you control\, sensitive data never leaves your environment while access expands beyond a single desk. Show up with a laptop that can run two virtual machines\, and walk out with a working private service you built yourself. \n \nWhat You’ll Learn\nBy the end of the workshop\, you will be able to: \n\nInstall and configure Ollama on Linux and manage local models from the command line\nConfigure Ollama to listen on the network so other systems can use it\nCustomize model behavior with Modelfiles to build purpose specific assistants for your workflows\nBuild an encrypted mesh network with Tailscale and connect multiple machines to it\nPut an nginx reverse proxy with basic authentication in front of Ollama to control who can reach it\nExplain the data sovereignty case for local AI and the attack surface you take on when you expose an LLM service\n\nSystem Requirements\nVMware and the lab VMs are provided. Students need a laptop that can run two virtual machines at the same time: \n\n16 GB RAM minimum (24 GB or more recommended)\n60 GB free disk space\nCPU with virtualization support enabled in BIOS/UEFI\nReliable internet connection (required for model downloads and Tailscale)\n\nVM / Lab / Student Information\nVMware and two Linux-based lab VMs will be provided for download before class\, along with import instructions and credentials. Download and import everything ahead of time; model files are large and take time to download and extract. All labs are hands on and build on each other\, ending with a working\, authenticated\, network accessible private AI service. Setting up a free Tailscale account is part of the lab\, so no advance signup is needed. \n \nWho Should Take This Workshop\nSecurity practitioners\, sysadmins\, and technical folks who want AI capability without shipping sensitive data to a third party. If you handle client data\, work under confidentiality constraints\, or just want to know exactly where your prompts go\, this workshop is for you. It is a strong fit for: \n\nRed teamers and penetration testers\, who get a private AI that won’t leak client data during an engagement plus mesh networking they can use on assessments\nConsultants and MSSP staff who handle multiple clients’ sensitive data under contract\nAnyone working in a regulated industry (healthcare\, legal\, finance\, government) where data sovereignty is a compliance requirement\, not a preference\n\nIt is also a fit for anyone who has played with a local model on one machine and wants to turn it into a real service their team can use. \nAudience Skill Level\nIntermediate. You should be comfortable working in a Linux terminal and already know your way around frontier LLMs and basic AI concepts. \nPrerequisites\n\nWorking familiarity with frontier LLMs (ChatGPT\, Claude\, Gemini\, or similar) and basic AI/LLM concepts. You should know what a prompt is\, what a model is\, and what a system prompt does\nComfort with the Linux command line (editing files\, installing packages\, basic troubleshooting)\nComfort running privileged commands (sudo) to install packages and edit system config\nBasic web/HTTP literacy (the idea of clients\, servers\, ports\, and requests)\nBasic familiarity with virtual machines (importing and running a VM in VMware)\nHelpful but not required: familiarity with networking concepts (IP addresses\, ports\, proxies)\nNo prior experience with Ollama\, Tailscale\, or nginx is needed; every tool is introduced from scratch

SUMMARY:Antisyphon Event | Infosec: Age of AI Summit
DESCRIPTION:How do you secure a future that is already here?\nAI is changing how organizations operate\, how defenders protect systems\, and how attackers identify and exploit opportunities. New capabilities\, new risks\, and new questions are emerging every day. Understanding what we know\, what we don’t know\, and what questions we should be asking has become one of the most important challenges facing security teams today. The Antisyphon Training Infosec: Age of AI Summit is a free\, six-hour\, live virtual event designed to help you better understand the realities of AI and cybersecurity. You’ll learn from experienced practitioners as they discuss how AI is being used\, where organizations are finding value\, where security concerns are appearing\, and what security professionals need to know as adoption continues to grow. \nOn August 14\, 2026\, join us and thousands of fellow security professionals\, technology leaders\, and aspiring practitioners as expert speakers share practical lessons\, real-world experiences\, and informed perspectives on one of the most significant changes our industry has faced in decades. Need AI security training? We’ve got that! \n\n\nRegister for free!

SUMMARY:WWHF Deadwood 2025
DESCRIPTION:Wild West Hackin’ Fest is the cybersecurity conference organized and hosted by Black Hills Information Security\, and Deadwood\, SD is where it all began! \nIt all started with a bet between John Strand and his wife\, Erica Spurrier. \nJohn had been an instructor and course author for the SANS Institute for years at this point\, and Erica bet that if John gave a class on his own\, in South Dakota where they live\, that people would come. \nSo they started asking around among John’s friends and colleagues. Before long\, the idea evolved into something more than just a single class. They would host a small cybersecurity conference in Deadwood\, a small tourist town about 40 miles northwest of Rapid City\, SD. The Wild West Hackin’ Fest was born… \n\nTentative Plan: I will be giving a workshop on how to install\, run\, and customize local large language models (LLMs) on ordinary computer systems. More details as they evolve!
