DC510: ninjas are legal now

Meetings are usually on or around the Sunday next to the second Monday of each month (there are historical reasons for this)

Our next regularly scheduled meeting is:

Sunday April 12, 2026, 11 AM

Near the Ashby BART

We’ll probably be doing a bsides review. LIVE NUNCHUCK DEMO IN PARKING LOT? probably not, no

If you have any additional questions, email address dc510 at the domain protonmail dot com Please do not talk business in depth over e-mail. We used to say “RSVP if you want us to wait” but contact methods have become unreliable with recent changes to Twitter and Protonmail.

Why Does DC510 Exist?

The Bay Area has no shortage of hackers. Around here, you can get ethical hacking classes, corporate hackathons, and (actually) some of the best hackerspaces in the world. It’s a high-tech environment, but that environment caters more to the kind of security professionals who attend Blackhat, and less the kind of hackers who go to DEFCON. The real hacker groups in the area were stagnant; SF2600 was a dwindling population that never outreached or did activities past bar meetings (EvilMofo is bringing it back!(?)), and DC415 was at that time an online-only arm of hispagatos (The Noisebridge folks are bringing it back!).

What’s a hacker?

DC510 is for abusers of technology. We won’t fight you over the definition of hacker beyond that. Cyberpunks welcome.
