Hack Manhattan

Hey there! We're kicking off a bi-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.

This group will learn about system administration topics with hands-on collaborative learning on a homelab setup of four Dell servers. A description of this session's plan in down below.
We’ll deploy components like LDAP(authentication), Ansible (Infrastructure as Code), NextCloud (file storage), OpenStack (Cloud computing), OpenTofu (IaC Terraform fork), containerization and other open source software. We also intend to explore clustering, certainly high-availability and possibly compute clustering.

We've setup the hardware, installed the OS, and established procedures and documentation standards. Now we're starting to work in small groups or individually on projects. An under-construction list of project ideas is at https://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/Project_Ideas.

We have room for a few new people. Sign up to this event, come and do the exercise, and you're in.

Join the Hack Manhattan Discord and say hello. DM me there with your email address so I can sign you up for a wiki account.

Please bring a laptop if you can. We'll have a limited number of machines available you can use.

Bring your latest project and connect with local makers, creators, artists and more and learn about starting your own maker journey!

Whether it's woodworking or electronics, programming or craftwork, Hack Manhattan is a makerspace where people come together to learn through doing, because making stuff is fun!
