TONITE is the monthly general mtng at Graybar. 2 GREAT presentations. Tell your
friends to come. The BASH will be good for newbies as well as a good refresher/challenge
for what you may have gotten rusty on. The VeraCrypt will hopefully widen your horizons
in crypto!
(Yeah…I hear there is a hockey game but will be done in time to watch the end of it.)

BASE
Carolyn Peters of MasterCard presents "Intro to Bash Scripting (and how to exit
vim)". Bash is a language in it's own right, but one you've probably also
used interactively from the command line. Carolyn introduces us to the control
structures of Bash.

MAIN
Stan Reichardt will lead our discussion.
Its the 6th anniv of the first release of Veracrypt.
VeraCrypt is a source-available freeware utility used for on-the-fly encryption (OTFE).[5]
It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file or encrypt a partition[6] or (in
MS-Windows) the entire storage device with pre-boot authentication.[7]
VeraCrypt is a fork of the discontinued TrueCrypt project.[8] It was initially released
on 22 June 2013 and has produced its latest release (version 1.23) on 12 September
2018.[9] Many security improvements have been implemented and issues raised by TrueCrypt
code audits have been fixed. VeraCrypt includes optimized implementations of
cryptographic hash functions and ciphers which boost performance on modern CPUs.
(Our original presentation on "Programmable Gate Arrays vs ASICS vs RealTime
Linux" will be presented on a later date due to a work schedule conflict.)

Meetings are every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 6:30PM to 9:00PM.
==============================================
SLUUG is your forum for exchanging information about OPEN standards, OPEN systems, OPEN
source, products, services and architectures.
We usually start the general meeting with a basic session, which may include either simple
tutorials, displays of newly discovered web sites, command line wonders, demonstrations
of useful applications, amazing graphical packages, major resolution of long standing
anomalies, blinking lights, or quantum shifts in both time and space. Then we will have
our usually quick welcome, introduction, administrative announcements, and a Call For Help
- Questions and Answers Period. After all that, we take a break before our main event.
