## Meeting Minutes
Neg9 was locked out of the conference room. Only a few people showed up, so we used the tables on the 2nd floor.
People introduced themselves.
Many things were discussed. No one took notes.
[Meltdown and Spectre](https://meltdownattack.com/) were discussed and someone asked for PoC. PoC was released the day after the Neg9 meeting [for Meltdown](https://github.com/IAIK/meltdown/). Also [Project Zero released code](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1272#c3). Performance impact on Meltdown and Spectre are a major issue and may cause people to reject patching. If this is the case, understanding the vulnerabilities and how they affect your use case is more important.
A proposal was made to repeal the CFAA. Arguments for were given. Arguments against were discussed.
The talk involved a small difficult CTF. Challenges will be posted in in the coming months.

The CTF was a learning experience for everyone involved. The difficulty was far too high for a 2 hour event, so next events will have very low barrier or have less cryptic clues.
Everyone who played had good ideas, so keep learning.
