Community
Security is bigger than one campus
Southern California has a real hacker scene. These are the meetups we go to and the clubs we compete with, learn from, and occasionally beat.
Meetups
Get off campus
Both are free, open to students, and the fastest way to meet people who hire.
Irvine Underground
A long-running Orange County hacker and security meetup. Talks, demos, and hallway conversations with local professionals and hobbyists. A lot of OSS members got their first industry contacts here.
OC2600
The Orange County chapter of the 2600 meetups, the hacker gatherings that have run worldwide since the days of the magazine. Informal, open to anyone, and a good place to meet people who've been doing this for decades.

We usually carpool from campus. Ask in the Discord before the next one.
