The Manchester 2600 computer security meeting takes place on the first friday of every
month. It is aimed at everybody with an interest in computer security,
telephony, hacking, phone phreaking, cryptography, internet
security/privacy issues and related subjects.
People from all walks of life are welcome, from both the 'white hat'
and 'black hat' sides of the computer security world (you might be
surprised at some of the people who have turned up in the past). You
don't have to be an 'expert' at anything to fit in; however, there are
always people about with some expertise in most of the areas
mentioned. It's sometimes surprising what information you can pick up
for the price of a few beers :)
The Manchester meet tends to be a little different from the other UK
2600 meets; while there is always lively discussion of the above
subjects, the meet starts in a bar and we frequently continue drinking
till 2am or go on to a club afterwards. The meeting continues for as
long as at least two participants are able to maintain an intelligent
conversation
