London 2600 meetings are similar to those held by
2600 groups around the world, and the other
2600 groups in the United Kingdom.
N.B. the quarterly 2600 magazine is now rarely available in London shops.
Everybody who is interested in computer and telecomms security and the impact of technology on society
is welcome, from both sides of the fence, no matter what your age or level of skill and experience - nobody knows it all, no matter what they claim.
You could learn more at these free meetings than from months of study or investigation on your own, but this depends on what you are willing to share and contribute in return. We are mostly British and therefore somewhat shy in public, but it is easy to strike up a conversation with most of us.
London 2600 meet on the first Friday of each month, 6.30pm to 7.30pm initially, at the frront entrance of the
Trocadero shopping centre,
then on elsewhere.
The kinds of people who have attended over the last 25 years or so include:
"computer hackers, phone phreakers, cyberpunks, performance artists, systems administrators, cybergoths, military intelligence officers, mobi chippers, skip trashers, hacktivists, network gurus, anti-virus programmers, penetration testers, multimedia artists, internet entrepreneurs, newbies, cybercriminals, warez d00dz, old skool, movie script writers, 31337, civil liberties activists, lawyers, radio hams, students, cool hunters, wannabes, djs, corporate security professionals, academic researchers, privacy campaigners, journalists"
Usually up to 20 to 50 people attend each meeting, most of whom then participate in the rest of the evening/weekend activities.
