    I remember reading a thread about a group getting together in drogheda regarding an interest in computer security. I was wondering if the group still meet up, or if anybody was interested in meeting up and try getting to grips with it. Im quite interested in the area of wireless penetration, backtrack, etc. Just a beginner myself but would like to meet other enthusiasts :)

    Details of the next Software and Networking Night below.


    Want to start your own app/game development project?

    Want to learn TCP/IP, UDP, or what "packet sniffing" is all about?

    Want to start learning python / perl or another laguage?

    From 22nd January we will be running a software and networking group nights for anyone interested in these topics. The space will be open from 7:15-21:45 for these nights. Every two weeks the space will be open for coding projects along with being able to improve upon your networking skills and to perhaps start your own open-source project with other people in the group. Much like the HW and Electronics group night it promises to bring together various skillsets and levels and have fun putting your plans that you've had on the backburner for too long in motion!
