Ethical Hacking

Hey there! We're kicking off a weekly Ethical Red Team Study Group every Saturday for anyone stoked about diving into the world of cybersecurity and red teaming. This is a chill, collaborative space where we’ll dig into the nuts and bolts of stuff like network security, penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and ethical hacking principles. Each one-hour session is all about learning together, sharing ideas, and getting hands-on with real-world scenarios.

**Play and listen to original music!** The Songwriter Circle at Brooklyn Ethical is a monthly gathering dedicated to musical expression and creativity. Everyone from beginners to pros are welcome to share songs in progress, exchange feedback, and jam together! **What to expect?** We'll take turns sharing songs we've written ourselves and discussing the art of music and songwriting from a learner's perspective. Feel free to bring your instrument of choice, but if you just have your singing voice, that's great too. We can also play recordings on our lovely sound system; this is a great option for music that can't easily be performed live. We'll have two rounds of sharing, then a rest break. Then one or two more rounds depending on available time and energy. Drop by any time from 7 to 9 pm! We do have the space until 10 pm so if there are a lot of us, everyone can have a chance to share. RSVP is not necessary but encouraged! **What to share?** * A song you or a friend composed * A song that you have adapted from another song * An interesting/creative cover of a song * Standalone chord progressions or lyrics * Questions or thoughts on the creative process * Requests for help, feedback, jamming, sing-along, etc. **Does it cost anything?** We don't have an attendance fee. We do ask for a $10 donation or whatever you can give to help pay for the space. All proceeds go to our host, the [Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture](https://bsec.org). **Frequently Asked Questions** **Where is it?** We're hosted by the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. Here is the address: 269 4th Ave (between Garfield Pl and 1st St) Brooklyn, NY We're near these subway stations: * Union St. (D, N, R, W) (2-minute walk) * 4 Av-9 St (F, G) (11-minute walk) * Grand Army Plaza (2, 3, 4) (12-minute walk) **When is it?** We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM/10 PM (ending time varies based on attendance). **Do I *have* to bring a song that I've written?** No, you don't have to :) You're welcome to simply bring your ears if you like! Discussion during turns is encouraged, so you can always use your turn to talk or ask questions about the composition or writing process. **I'm shy...** **My song is bad...** **I just started writing music...** Our hope is to create a comfortable space for performing original music, even if it's terrible :) You will find all levels of skill and composing ability here. It is more important that you practice with us, and not worry about being "perfect"! **I have another question...** Feel free to post your questions as a comment on the main group page or any event page! **See you there!**
