| 8 | +for some personal work. I was very clear on meeting [Mr. Shakthi |
| 9 | +Kannan](http://shakthimaan.com/). While travelling to Chennai I dropped a mail |
10 | 10 | inquiring about his availability. He replied with an invitation to attend the
|

| 12 | +Chennai](https://www.meetup.com/ILUG-C/events/234086665/) scheduled at IIT |

| -The meetup was happening at the Aero Space Engineering department, IIT Madras |
17 |
| -campus. I found the campus is quite huge in area. The cab driver dropped me at |
18 |
| -the gate. It took 15 minutes bus journy to reach the department. Because I was late, I missed the initial talk on Emacs Org mode by Shakthi. I was lucky enough to |
19 |
| -attend lightning talk section. When I entered into classroom one young boy was |
20 |
| -demonstrating [BeFF](http://tools.kali.org/exploitation-tools/beef-xss). BeFF |
21 |
| -is penetration testing tool. I was not aware about this tool before his talk. |
22 |
| -After his words I am confident for switching to documentation and implimenting. |
23 |
| -His talk ended with little discussion on doubts people were having. Nearly one |
24 |
| -hour was still remaining. Shakthi came forward and invited interested people to |
25 |
| -present if they want to. That ringed a bell on mine. I was even not sure about |
26 |
| -attending meetup and presenting something instantly was looking little touch at |
27 |
| -first glance. One guy moved forward and presented on Linux stacks(confirm this |
28 |
| -topic with Shakthi). I quickly skimmed on list of topics I was aware about and |
29 |
| -I decided to speak on [JSON Web |
30 |
| -Token](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_Web_Token). Initially I started with |
31 |
| -little description about myself. I demonstrated ways to generate token. Discussed |
32 |
| -about architecture. Gave few guidlines and points to remember. I ended my talk |
33 |
| -with comparing [Oauth 2.0](https://oauth.net/2/) with JWT. Few interested |
34 |
| -people asked question and I was lucky enough to solve their confusions. We |
35 |
| -discussed about Angular JS and its versions. Little more discussion on Jquery, |
36 |
| -React JS compared with Angular JS. |
