DC704 - September 21st Monthly Meetup
DC704 (DEF CON Group Charlotte)’s September Meetup is coming up on Monday, September 21 at 7:04 PM.
This month, we’re premiering "Scholar", a hands-on hacking lab built exclusively for the DC704 community, by our very own Brady McLaughlin, through a partnership with Hack Smarter Labs.
The session will include a collaborative lab walkthrough and guided hacking time, giving attendees an opportunity to explore the environment together before its planned public release later in 2026/2027.
Thank you to Triaxiom Security for sponsoring the event space, and to Tyler Ramsbey and his platform, Hack Smarter Labs, for partnering with DC704 on this workshop.
Whether you are sharpening your skills, meeting other security practitioners, or simply curious about hands-on cybersecurity, please join us.
Bring your laptop, curiosity, and hacker mindset. See you there!
