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)

Welcome, readers! Our May read is **_Kindred_ by Octavia E. Butler.** The story follows Dana, a Black woman living in 1976 California, who is suddenly pulled back to a Maryland plantation before the Civil War. She learns her survival is tied to a white slaveholder’s son. Forced to move between centuries, she must endure the brutal realities of slavery while fighting to hold on to her identity. Tense, intimate, and unforgettable, Kindred explores how the past refuses to stay buried. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.

Join us for Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn! Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story-and survive this homecoming.
