WEDNESDAY January 10th, 6pm @ Wilde Roast Cafe
Due to a shift in the space / time continuum, DC612 will be making its appearance this month on Wednesday!
Please adjust your clocks to this One-Time, alteration in the timeline. I am assured that this blip in the timeline will not alter the future of our predictable, second Thursday universe.
A pleasant side affect of our alternate reality meeting day, is a fantastic January speaker.
This month @DC612, we welcome, David Duccini as he brings us “Blockchain 101 and use cases in the Real World”
Please leave the blockchain snarks at home and come prepared to bond over Merkle Dags.
Hope to see you all there!

Thursday December 14th, 6pm @ Wilde Cafe
Our Weather has turned wintery. Here in DC612-land thats our cue to warm up with a steaming cup of cocoa and crack open some APK’s. Am I right?
“Mobile Security Framework is an intelligent, all-in-one open source mobile application (Android/iOS/Windows) automated pen-testing framework capable of performing static, dynamic analysis and web API testing.”
Thursday November 9th, 6pm @ Wilde Cafe
Hello Hackers!
It’s November, and that means… well, cold. It means cold.
This month we are bringing back crowd favorite and regular DC612 attendee, Josh More!
Josh is perhaps best known at DC612 for his talks on photography, anonymity, and how to give a good presentation (hint hint). This month he will be addressing the power of metaphor in IT:
There is a divide between the so-called “security/technical” people and the “business” people. We’ve all heard about how we need to “speak the language of business” and “get soft skills” to succeed. However, even after decades of trying, the divide still exists. Why does it seem that we never make progress? Are we truly not improving? Is the goal receding as we chase it? This presentation posits that we’ve been making a fundamental error in trying to explain things to people outside our field. One thing that people-oriented people do naturally and technically-oriented people do not is communicate with others using the target’s metaphors. By taking this approach and translating issues into different frames of reference, more time is spent exploring the issue instead of arguing over why it matters.
As always, please bring a healthy appetite for both knowledge and food. See you there!
Thursday October 12th, 6pm @ WildeRoast – DFIR Month
Hello Hackers!
It’s October, and that means it is DFIR Month at DC612!
What is DFIR you ask? It’s pronounced “dee-fur” and it is not the same as shaving a fuzzy animal. DFIR stands for Digital Forensics and Incident Response, and it is the realm of investigating breaches, reacting to them to minimize immediate damage, and ensuring the proper information is gathered to help prevent them in the future.
As with other DC612 Projects months, the talks this time around will be shorter, but there will be more of them.
So bring your favorite hex editor, and prepare for a night of forensic fun!

Thursday September 14th, 6pm @ WildeRoast – Crypto Month
Hello Hackers!
It’s September, and that means it is Crypto Month at DC612!
At the beginning of the year we announced DC612 Projects:
In the Month of February, DC612 will be opening a new program in which YOU are encouraged to sign up for and research a topic of your choosing.
Then, turn your Project into a 20 minute talk that you bring back to the group and present along with others in your category
Just like the Web Security and Recon nights, there will be multiple, shorter talks for the Crypto meeting. Keep an eye on this list as we get confirmation on who all is speaking:
- @NightmareJS will be going over the new Firefox Send project, with a demo
- Our resident kilt-wearing Crypto fanatic @Crypty McCryptoFace may make an appearance
- I’ve heard rumors that Tony may have some words of wisdom to share
If you will be speaking but your name is not on this list, hit us up on the Twitters, Slack, or by emailing info@dc612.org and we’ll get your info up.
See you there!
