C:\MAE-EAST> WHOAMI
MAE-East Hackers is a Mid-Atlantic community for people who build, break, study, defend, reverse, automate, and occasionally argue about computers over drinks.
No vendor theater. No résumé peacocking. Just curious people, technical conversations, and the belief that the best security communities are built by sharing what we know.
A local hacker community centered on practical cybersecurity, AI, infrastructure, hardware, reverse engineering, defense, offensive research, and the strange corners where those disciplines collide.
Red teamers, blue teamers, builders, defenders, researchers, operators, students, tinkerers, radio nerds, AI experimenters, sysadmins, engineers, and the terminally curious.
Talks, demos, war stories, tools, questionable diagrams, good questions, and better conversations.
