Greetings!
This inaugural blog post comes as a result of a partnership between the Defcon Chennai Chapter and The Defcon Bangalore Chapter.
What is Defcon?
According to Wikipedia excerpt :- “DEF CON (also written as DEFCON or Defcon) is one of the world’s largest annual computer hacker conventions, held every year in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first DEF CON took place in June 1993. Many of the attendees at DEF CON include computer security professionals, journalists, lawyers, federal government employees, crackers, cyber-criminals, security researchers, and hackers with a general interest in computer code, computer architecture, phone phreaking, hardware modification, and anything else that can be “hacked”.”
What is Defcon Bangalore Chapter?
Defcon community has many interest groups running a local chapter – national and International ones. In the Bangalore region, in India, we run this Defcon Community Group (DCG) under our official ID – DC9180. We organise hacker meets and get togethers, being a platform for all information security evangelists to showcase their knowledge amidst others though our meets.
Our previous meet held in January 2012, in Chennai, at Le Waterina Resort, was an exciting event and a grand success, and we request your support and co-operation to make this event bigger, better and a grand success.
