What we’re about

We meet on the first Wednesday of the month at Independence Brewing

DC512 is the local, Austin chapter of the DEF CON hacking conference. Started in 1993, Defcon (a.k.a. DEFCON or DEF CON) is one of the world's largest annual computer hacker conventions, held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. Attendees include cybersecurity professionals, journalists, lawyers, federal government employees, security researchers and hackers with a general interest in code, computer architecture, phone phreaking, hardware mods and anything else that can be "hacked."

The DC512 chapter is a chance for like-minded people in and around downtown Austin to gather, drink, listen to DEF CON-style presentations and then, in true DEF CON fashion, head out into the night in search of mischief.
