Hey folks,

If you’re in the DC/NOVA area and want a weekend of hands-on hacking, BsidesNoVA is happening Oct 10–11 at GMU Mason Square (Arlington, VA).
It’s a community-run, volunteer-organized event with no vendor pitches — just workshops, a CTF, and hallway-con with other hackers and defenders.

🔥 What’s on the hacking side:

• Live Capture-the-Flag: open to all skill levels, $1,000 prize + Black Badge 🏆

• Breach Village: explore attack chains and IR scenarios

• AI Village: including “Break an AI” workshop

• OSINT pivoting techniques & real-world red/blue team labs

• Memory forensics and malware analysis deep-dives

It’s a great way to level up your skills, meet other hackers, and get hands-on with practical challenges.
