Our third meeting was on Thursday, August 20th.  Our effusive thanks goes to the Walnut Street Apple Store and Joe Hutsko’s team for graciously hosting us this month. And the community continued to prove their interest with another great showing of attendance.

Serge started the meeting off with “What’s New” a potentially recurring segment that keeps up with all the recent news and events and things of interest to our community.  This month we highlighted OS X 10.10.5 update, the iOS 8.4.1, Office 2016 for Mac shipping, and “Tpwn,” the new privilege escalation exploit in OS X that was recently discovered.  Jesse Shipley presented and demo’d his new tool for Casper that provides more robust and verbose checkins, called “Deadpool. ” It’s free and available to use on his Github repo: here.

Again, we broadcasted the meeting through Google Hangouts.  Here’s the video:

On Wednesday, July 22nd, we held our second meeting. Many thanks to AWeber, in Chalfont, for graciously hosting us and providing pizza, soda, and swag. Jesse Shipley spoke about launchd, and our special guest Allister Banks spoke about iOS Security (he wrote a book on the subject!). Allister’s slides can be found here, and the video for his talk can be found below.

Ben Rush got a Google Hangout working, so people could livestream the presentations online. Allister brought his own Periscope setup, as well.

If you’d like to present, please get in touch.  See you at the next meeting!

Our first meetup happened on June 25, 2015!  JAMF Software was kind enough to provide dinner to all attendees.  Rather than post the slides for this meetup, we’ll direct you to the Resources page – that page is the same content, but updated.  Enjoy!

EDIT: As of February 2024, we have redesigned the website and removed the Resources page, as it was outdated. Please visit the Mac Admins Foundation website and join us on the Mac Admins Slack.
