You asked for it…. we are now delivering 😀That’s RIGHT! The Dojo’s are back baby! 😀

And what a better way to kick things off then to have an awesomely established collaboration with Hack The Box (HTB) Zürich, through our wonderful community member Antoine (shout out! :D) where we will provide opportunities for both you newly budding, yet also wise and experienced offensive pentesters to perform walkthroughs of various HTB curated boxes/challenges, with the aim to pick up and learn some new tips and tricks, as well as gain those precious hands on XP experience points to level up your hacking game.

We already have 3 events set and planned for the rest of this year, and as part of this collaboration, we are happy to announce that all interested DC4131 members get exclusive priority access to 10 available spots, based on a first-come, first serve basis. It is necessary to “sign up” up on the respective MeetUp event, stating your DC4131 membership, and even if all the spots are filled, there will be a waitlist available which will help secure you a space in the case of drop outs or future events. Please note that if not all DC4131 spaces are taken in the days leading up to the event, the spots will be released and made available to the public.

We really hope the start of these new Dojo events prove to be interesting and provide awesome, hands-on opportunities to not just build upon your sills, but do it with amazing people and environments around you! 🙂 Further, wider topic ranging Dojos are also in the mix to come, so watch this space 😉

Not a DC4131 member yet!? Now is your time! Drop us an email at board[@]defcon-switzerland[.]org stating you wish to become a member and we will come back to you with all the juicy details 🙂

Don’t forget we also have our official DC4131 Swag e-Shop over at Industry Ink! (COMING BACK SOON!! 😀 )

But we don’t stop there, we are continually evaluating available options for additional events organized by the DC4131 team.
