What we’re about
This is a group for Software Engineering IT Specialists working in Offensive Security Operations for Web Application Development teams. Topics include Stealth Recon, Vulnerability Analysis, Risk Assessment, AI Safety, Bug Bounty Hunting, Penetration Testing and Red Teaming.
The aim is to provide a point of coordination for various Cyber Security meetup classes and presentations, locally and online. We are curious about learning and adapting to the rapidly evolving digital landscape which includes Web3 (Bitcoin, DLTs, NFTs, DAOs), Virtual Reality metaverses, the safety and alignment of Artificial Intelligence and the future of quantum computing as well as fuel-less energy sources.
As locals from the Kanata suburb of the Nation's capital, a part of Silicon Valley North, with the National Defence Headquarters (Carling) a mile away, perhaps we can coordinate something of service for our neighborhoods.
We plan to have the following meetup themes:
Ethical Hackers - Stealth Recon Task Force
Ethical Hackers - Bug Bounty Hunters
Ethical Hackers - AI Safety and Alignment Task Force
Ethical Hackers - NFT-gated Mindmap Tours
Ethical Hackers - Aspie Bug Whisperers
Exchange insight about: threat modelling, security audits, attack vectors, hardening, stealth, recon, Darkweb, OSINT, ATT&CK Framework, Cyber Kill Chain, DevSecOps, SSDLC, OPSEC, CWE, OWASP, ChatGPT, Kali Linux, scripts, toolsets, exploitation, privilege escalation, exploration, reporting, encryption, CTFs, events, news, certifications and so on into psychology and metaphysics.
If you wish to be on the leadership team, there are open poistions for: co-organizer, assistant organizer, event organizer. Those interested in helping run the group, let the admin know.
Originally this group was created under a new Meetup.com umbrella community network called "Safety and Alignment Community for a Wonderful A.I." in order to facilitate the local coming together of Ethical Hackers for this cause. Due to the costs of such an undertaking, until we have a shared operating budget, look for the "AI Safety and Alignment Task Force" meetups instead.
