First talk

What’s actually on the dark web? What’s real and what’s not? Because fake things can’t hurt you and don’t matter right?

Speaker

Chris Monteiro (web, Bluesky, Twitter)

Synopsis

Chris Monteiro spent 9 years of fighting a fake darknet market for murder, where the clients were deadly serious. What’s it like to be a one man international investigator, and how journalists and volunteers can help with legal issues against a ticking clock.

Second talk

Phrack’s 40th Anniversary

Speaker

Skyper

Synopsis

Phrack is 40 this year. Skyper has offered to bring along some hardcopies for people to read, and will give a short talk.

Future talks

We’re still trying to build up a backlog of talks. If you’ve implemented a C2 on a smartwatch, want to walk us through the highlights of a CTF, or have some insight into the breakdown of security cooperation globally, we’re interested!

Drop a message to talks@dc4420.org with a title, synopsis and rough length, and don’t worry if you haven’t presented before.

We’re also happy to host other activities, like lockpicking, or demoing a new piece of kit, just let us know.

New location

We are no longer at the Phoenix! The next meeting will be at:

The Greene Man
383 Euston Road
London NW1 3AU

Closest stations: Great Portland Street, Warren Street, Euston.

We’ll start around 7:30pm as usual, but feel free to turn up from 6:30pm to settle in.
