Presentations this month:
Rochester 2600 hosts information security professionals, IT and operations teams, hackers, nerds, lawyers, law enforcement, activists, and anyone that's interested in learning about security. It's a place to meetup and share information, ideas, and technical information witha group. Attend a meeting to learn about information security from professionals and amateurs alike.
2600 is a reference to 2600: Hacker Quarterly. A periodical that's been around since the 80's. We host our meetings on the first Friday of every month because that's when all 2600 meetings should be hosted. We don't have any official relationship with the org, it's just a platform to gather around.
If you've never attended a meeting, we are generally loosely organized. We present on the latest security news of the month and usually follow it with at least one presentations from one of our attendees. Expect to laugh and interact with the rest of the group. Bring a laptop if you wish but it's usually unnecessary.
Every time I come here I learn something new I should be concerned about.
I thought "hackers" were trolls on 4chan but I realized that they're mostly professionals that are eager to learn and share knowledge.
I attended these meetings so that I could learn how to trade body parts on the "dark web". They didn't help me at all but I still learned something.
The monthly news review is useful but also very depressing when you can't tell if the headlines are from 2020 or 2005.
If you're interested in finding out more, consider RSVP'ing to a meeting so we know how many people might show up. Follow us on Twitter for the latest updates. Hangout with some of us in the #security channel of RocDev.
