About us
Sarasota Hackers & Security Meetup Group is a community of cybersecurity professionals, ethical hackers, developers, students, researchers, makers, and technology enthusiasts who share a passion for learning how technology works, how to break it, and how to secure it.
As a local spinoff of HackMiami, our goal is to bring the hacker culture, technical depth, and collaborative spirit of South Florida's security community to the Sarasota area. Inspired by HackMiami's long-standing tradition of hands-on research, technical presentations, workshops, CTFs, and community-driven knowledge sharing, we provide a place where beginners and experts can learn together and exchange ideas.
Our meetups may cover topics such as:
- Ethical hacking and penetration testing
- Network and application security
- Digital forensics and incident response
- Open-source intelligence (OSINT)
- Reverse engineering and malware analysis
- Cloud, AI, and emerging technology security
- Hardware hacking and maker projects
- Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges
- Career development and networking
Whether you're a seasoned security practitioner, an aspiring hacker, a student exploring cybersecurity, or simply curious about how technology works, you'll find a welcoming environment focused on education, collaboration, and responsible disclosure.
Bring your laptop, bring your curiosity, and join us as we build.
Sarasota's local hacker community—one meetup at a time.
