La comunidad **RedTeamRD** regresa con su Meetup No. 70 con una edición práctica enfocada en **ProjectAchilles**, una plataforma open-source de validación continua de seguridad creada por **James Pichardo**. En este meetup exploraremos cómo desplegar, operar y aprovechar ProjectAchilles para ejecutar pruebas de seguridad automatizadas, validar controles defensivos y medir cobertura de detección utilizando un enfoque basado en evidencia. Será una sesión orientada a la práctica, donde veremos desde el setup inicial de la plataforma hasta el workflow completo para construir, ejecutar y analizar tests de seguridad. Dos sesiones. Un mismo objetivo: entender cómo convertir la validación de seguridad en un proceso continuo, medible y accionable. **Desplegando Achilles: De Localhost a Producción en 60 Minutos** **Mini workshop hands-on** 🎙️ **James Pichardo** En esta primera sesión levantaremos **ProjectAchilles** paso a paso, comenzando desde un entorno de desarrollo local y avanzando hacia despliegues más cercanos a producción. Veremos cómo preparar y ejecutar Achilles en diferentes escenarios: * Entorno local de desarrollo * Docker Compose * Plataformas PaaS como Railway, Render, Fly.io o Vercel * Despliegue funcional para pruebas de seguridad Durante el workshop exploraremos la arquitectura del proyecto, la estructura de la **f0_library**, donde viven los tests, y cómo el motor de ejecución se conecta con herramientas ofensivas del ecosistema open-source. Terminaremos lanzando pruebas automatizadas contra un laboratorio en vivo. Puedes traer tu laptop lista para ensuciarte las manos. **El Workflow del Hacker Ético** **Construyendo, ejecutando y analizando tests en ProjectAchilles** 🎙️ **James Pichardo** Con Achilles corriendo, recorreremos el ciclo completo de trabajo dentro de la plataforma. Veremos cómo un hacker ético puede usar Achilles para: * Construir pruebas de seguridad dentro de la **f0_library** * Ejecutarlas contra targets en vivo * Analizar e interpretar los resultados * Integrar herramientas externas al pipeline de ejecución * Operar la plataforma de punta a punta en engagements reales El objetivo es que los participantes entiendan el workflow completo y salgan con una visión clara de cómo usar Achilles en sus propios ejercicios de validación de seguridad. **📅 Fecha y hora** **Jueves 28 de Mayo, 2026** **7:00 PM – 9:00 PM** *** 📍 **Lugar** **Auditorio A1** **PUCMM, Santo Domingo** https://maps.app.goo.gl/r8RxxDTZh74ivXJt8 **🎥 Transmisión en vivo** https://youtube.com/live/umScP_PJotE?feature=share No es necesario registrarse para verlo en línea. **💬 Contribuciones** Si deseas apoyar nuestros eventos y el desarrollo de talento local en ciberseguridad: [https://www.patreon.com/RedTeamRD](https://www.patreon.com/RedTeamRD) [https://paypal.me/redteamrd](https://paypal.me/redteamrd)

Are you ready to finally meet new like minded people? If so this is the perfect even for you to socialize at this beautiful place. With only 500 pesos you can enjoy a buffet, drinks, and music by the beach. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. See you there!

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
