DEF CON Porto Alegre

The DEF CON Groups were spawned from the annual DEF CON security conference in Las Vegas. The DEF CON Groups (DCGs or DC-Groups) are a gathering point for folks interested in the alternate applications of modern technology, referred to properly as 'hacking'. DCGs are not intended to compete with any other computer groups, such as 2600, but rather to provide yet another gathering place for the discussion of technology and security topics. DCG meetings are open to anyone, regardless of their skill, age, job, gender, etc. DCGs are designed to help you learn new things, meet new people, mentor others in areas you may be strong in, and provide some cohesion within the hacker culture and it's members. Currently there are over 270 different DCGs, spanning about half the US states and 20+ various countries around the world, including India, Malaysia, Iran, Japan, Great Britain, and Brazil. We focus on Mobile App Security, DevSecOps, Reverse Engineering, Offensive Security, Writing Exploits, OSINT, IoT, SCADA Security, Hardware Hacking and others.
