Welcome to dc312.org - Chicago's Local DefCon Group welcoming everyone in the Chicago area,
especially our friends in the 312, 773, 872, 708, 847, 224, 630, 331, 815, and 779 prefixs.
We've recently separated from the Chicago2600 Meetings (and suggest you still attend them,
every 1st Friday of the month starting at the Golden Apple on Lincoln/Wellington/Southport and moves to the O-Hare ohasis as the night goes on. More info at their website below.)
FOR THE RECORD: we are redesigning the website - but it takes less time to write it with
pre html tags then to do a design. a web4.0 (you guys missed 3.0) version is coming soon.

A large number of DC312 members are a part of these organizations, groups, or we strongly
support their efforts and mission. Or they're hackers in Chicago. That's about all it
takes to make this list. If you are not on this list or know of a group that isn't, e-mail
root@dc312.org and bribe us to add the listing.
----------
MOBiLE DiSCO - hax.by/mobiledisco - @mobiledisco
A group of chicago security researchers (adj. see hackers) focused on creating new multi-
layered attacks, enjoying good beer, and competing in many of the competions listed above.
These guys kick ass, take names, then kick their ass online again.
----------
THOTCON (THree One Two CON) - thotcon.org - @thotcon
THOTCON is in it's second year of conception and is the brain child of local hackers who
wanted a con without the hype or media whores and capture Chicago's strong security scene.
THOTCON 0x2 will be held at an undisclosed location (released only to attendees the week
before) on April 22rd, 2011.
----------
