This is awesome! I've been looking for local hacker meetups to learn and network with people. Can we expect any talk or workshops on Web app security this time?

@coderguy, I recently joined ethicalhackers.net- they hold regular online web app security workshops. I'm sure you'd enjoy and benefit from attending this meetup since you're into web security.

Interesting! Will there be any talk on the ethical considerations of cybersecurity and ethical hacking? Since it's gaining traction nowadays, it'd be good to understand how to stay on the right side.

My university has a cybersecurity student group, which organizes a yearly cybersecurity conference. I think it'd be cool to invite them to your meetup and perhaps collaborate in the future.

Bethsecurity, this is an excellent idea! Our doors are always open to collaborating with other student groups and professionals with a shared passion for cybersecurity and ethical hacking. I'll reach out to your university's group to explore collaboration options.
