What are Local Defcon
Groups?
The Defcon Groups were
spawned from the annual Defcon security conference in Las
Vegas. The Defcon Groups (DCGs or DC-Groups) are a
gathering point for folks interested in the alternate
applications of modern technology, referred to properly as
'hacking'. DCGs are not intended to compete with any other
computer groups, such as 2600, but rather to provide yet
another gathering place for the discussion of technology
and security topics. DCG meetings are open to anyone,
regardless of their skill, age, job, gender, etc. DCGs are
designed to help you learn new things, meet new people,
mentor others in areas you may be strong in, and provide
some cohesion within the hacker culture and it's members.
There are
two DC404 Mailinglists: a Meeting
Announcements list,
and an open discussion DC404-Chat
list.
To
join either or both, click Lists in the sidebar.
The chat list is the
best way to stay in the loop, and is usually pretty
low-traffic.
