The worlds of hackers and journalists are coming together as reporting goes digital and Internet companies become media empires.

Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds. This group is to bring all these people together -- those who are working to help people make sense of their world.

Do you know your ways around systems? Do you know more than just performing vulnerability, network scans, password cracking, or using a sniffer to listen across the network wire, etc.?  Can you decrypt encrypted files on the fly? Today's network traffic is mostly encrypted, how do you analyze traffic?  Do organizations have a box or appliance to decrypt traffic?  What if you are an Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) Analyst, how would you examine the traffic -- if 80% to 90% of the traffic is enc …

In honor of the CitySec movement started several years ago, this is a local infosec meetup run by NovaInfosec.com. We basically meetup in at a local bar every 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of the month and talk shop, drink a few good beers and maybe grab a bite to eat. It's the perfect way to wind down after a long hard hump day.

I moved from NY to DC and was really going to miss the Hack and Tell meetup there, so I decided to start one in DC! (What follows is the shamelessly ripped off description of the original). If you've ever visited Hacker News, you've almost certainly seen the "Show HN" or "Ask HN" posts. Well, it's time to get off the Internet and tell us about it face to face. We'll provide you with our honest feedback, you provide us with a great hack, or idea. We'll give you 5 minutes to show off your tool …
