Ethical Hackers, Penetration Testers, & Information Security

DC404 is Atlanta's premiere monthly security event, free to attend! Consisting of security professionals and hobbyist hackers alike, monthly meetings offer the latest information on tools, topics, and techniques pertaining to information security and hacking.

DC404 is a DEF CON Group open to all ages and skill levels.

We meet both in-person at Manuel's Tavern in Atlanta, and online on our hosted BigBlueButton conference instance (no registration required), the third Saturday of every month.

DC404 hosts a monthly cyber capture the flag competition (CTF) and is also home to Atlanta Locksport.

Visit the DC404 web site for a link to the virtual meeting and CTF, instructions for subscribing to our email list, and an invite to the Atlanta Cybersecurity Engineers Discord server, where DC404 has a channel.

Monthly meeting usually involves a CTF (if you want to participate), in which case bring a laptop, if you have Kali, BackBox, or security tools installed great!

Named after the zine, 2600 meetings are a monthly gathering in a public location where we chat about recent events in security and privacy. Topics discussed vary wildly. There’s no cost, and no structure. There’s a few regulars and a few people finding us for the first time every month.

When they are in person, our meetings are held on the Market level (lowest level) of the food court (http://www.gps-coordinates.net/latitude-longitude/33.844838/-84.361045/17/roadmap) in Lenox Mall, near the outside doors. When you enter in the outside doors on Market Level, look for the table in the middle or close to the glass with of laptops and cables. There is parking very close to the food court, directly opposite the mall from Peachtree. Lenox Square Mall 3393 Peachtree Rd NE Atlanta, GA 30326

All ages/skill levels welcome. No dues, feel free to bring new friends.

Q: What are DC-Groups?

A: The DEF CON Groups were spawned from the annual DEF CON security conference in Las Vegas. The DEF CON 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.
-- DCG FAQ (https://defcongroups.org/dcgfaq.html)

We meet in the basement/bar area of the restaurant and there's a lot more parking around back (the front is along Main Street and parking is minimal). If entering the restaurant from the back door, the stairs are immediate to the left. If entering from the front door, go all the way to the back and down the stairs.

They say Atlanta is the city too busy to hate, but it also has too much traffic for its widespread hacker fam to get together in a single meetup. So instead, we're meeting up in the desert during DEF CON! The one time of year when intown, northern burbs, south siders, and anyone else connected to DC404's 25+ year legacy can catch up and share stories. Join us and meet your fellow ATL hackers!

You will need a ticket to DEF CON proper to attend.
