Welcome to DC757/948

DC757 is a DEF CON group for those located in Hampton Roads Virginia, focusing on learning new things, meeting new people, and working on technically interesting projects. We're an informal grouping of hackers and security geeks. More info on DEF CON groups is available on the DEF CON website here.

How do I join?

There is no formal membership. Join our Discord (link above), show up to meetings when they occur, or get involved in projects.

When & where are the meetings?

We stopped in person meetings when the pandemic shut everything down, formal meetings have not restarted, but there may be informal gatherings, check the Discord, when we resume formal in person meetings we will update the website.

Can someone help me break into <X>?
