What we’re about
Hackers, crackers, geeks, hats of any colour, technology enthusiasts, hacktivists, and other like-minded folks are most welcome. We do not judge anyone and everyone has something to contribute, no matter their level of expertise.
We plan to host monthly tutorials and social events as well as the occasional security-focused talks and advanced workshops. We're very happy to welcome beginner members to learn as well as experienced members to help teach.
Looking forward to seeing you at our events soon!

See all- Overthewire.org war games workshop - Hacker games and tutorialsThe Gamer Club, Glasgow
We're planning to try some of the beginner/intermediate war games from OverTheWire.org
Bandit
The Bandit wargame is aimed at absolute beginners. It will teach the basics needed to be able to play other wargames.Leviathan
This wargame doesn't require any knowledge about programming - just a bit of common sense and some knowledge about basic *nix commands. We had no idea that it'd be this hard to make an interesting wargame that wouldn't require programming abilities from the players. Hopefully we made an interesting challenge for the new ones.Natas
Natas teaches the basics of serverside web-security.Krypton
The Krypton wargame features encryption and ciphers.The games start easily, but get complex quickly - so those that already know their way around will get a challenge too.
This is a great event to get to know everyone, you can work through the levels at your own pace, or just help out others that are stuck. We'll also talk you through the solutions to help beginners learn.
We're being hosted in The Gamer Club, so there is free tea and coffee, or you are welcome to bring in your own beers/wine and snacks.
You can get more details about how to find the venue at https://www.thegamerclub.co.uk/gettinghere
Note: You'll need a laptop to work through the levels
