⚠️ **REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED VIA [THIS SIGN UP FORM](forms.gle/saLWmbr5XbwUX8Jp8)**[ ](forms.gle/saLWmbr5XbwUX8Jp8)⚠️ **ABSTRACT** On the 12 days of christmas, SHELLgym gave to me: 12 tips to improve cybersecurity! Except that we don't have 12 days (just 4 hours). And every one of those tips aren't really "gifts" because they will inconvenience you in some way or another. So avoid Big Santa's ability to collect your PII and pop down for a grinchy session of SHELLgym on 20 December 2025. **⚠️ NOTE** Bring your own laptops (and laptop chargers). VMs optional. **TRAINER** **KK Tan — Founder, counterShell** As a mid-careerist convert to cybersecurity, **Tan KK** picked up his practical skills through getting OSCP certified and by participating in a variety of CTFs. In his career at CSIT, he performed a variety of red-teaming and vulnerability research roles and established the Cyber Training School at CSIT as the Lead Instructor. Besides the OSCP certification, KK is also OSCE and OSEE certified, and has a Bachelor's degree in Social Science (Psychology). He now sees psychology as a field of study where you fuzz humans until they produce unexpected behaviour. **IMPORTANT NOTICES** * Code of Conduct: [https://www.div0.sg/code-of-conduct](https://www.div0.sg/code-of-conduct) * Terms of Use & Disclaimer Notice: [https://www.div0.sg/terms-of-use-disclaimer-notice](https://www.div0.sg/terms-of-use-disclaimer-notice)

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

Monday December 29th at 6PM we'll be meeting up dinner at the Pies & Pints at Easton. Feel free to bring guests. Sandwiches run about $15 and large pizzas run $20-30.
