We’re thrilled to bring our community together in this new, dynamic space, fostering connections and inspiring creations.

• The ABCs of TSCM and why it’s your digital armor
• An arsenal of threats from mundane “spy shop” gadgets to high-tech espionage tools
• The spectrum of devices: DIY hacks, RF, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GSM, and beyond
• A closer look at invisible dangers like infrared and visible light threats, hardwired mics, stealth recorders, and carrier current devices.

This session is your battlefield guide to navigating and neutralizing modern surveillance threats. Expect a charged atmosphere, live demos, and intense discussions.

👥 Initiate Protocol Handshake: Establishing Peer Connections, begin the protocol handshake and establish peer connections with fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts. This is more than a meetup; it’s where theory meets practice and curiosity meets expert knowledge. Whether you’re a seasoned hacker or just starting, there’s something here for everyone.
