Hi Mike, You should consider coming to OWASP meetings as well. One of them is tonight, which unfortunately conflicts with RainSec, but that doesn't typically happen. We post our event notices a variety of places, but Calagator is where all the info typically resides: http://calagator.org/events/1250471438
You don't need to be a security expert to attend RainSec or OWASP. Just come to learn and meet people. I could point you to various resources on what else you could read up on to expand your security knowledge, but I'm not sure what your goals are. Information security is a very broad set of topics and many might bore you... tim On Mon, Apr 24, 2017 at 07:36:29PM -0700, Mike C. wrote: > Perhaps I've missed Security oriented threads and/or PLUG Talks, but I'm > very interested in connecting with other security wonks.
