Sydney 2600 IRL
The OG hacker meetup since '99, bring your curiosity about security, privacy, or weird tech and zero pretense.
People working on satellite hacking, privacy tools, decentralized networks, and 3D printing experiments show up here to talk shop with others who actually build things rather than just theorize about them. The monthly meetup attracts a mix of security researchers, hobbyists, and engineers at every level, from curious beginners to people running actual projects. Conversations tend to meander naturally across whatever's interesting that month, whether that's metadata leaks, drone modifications, or programming problems. There's no lecture format, no slides, just people who care about how technology actually works gathering in the same room. If you've been tinkering with something weird or want to find collaborators for a project, this is where you'll find your people.
