Each SecKC meeting during 101, we hear this:

DESTROY NO DATA
MAINTAIN NO PERSISTENCE
ABOVE ALL: DO NO HARM

We're all about shenanigans, however, someone took down the bar's POS system during our last meeting.

Tall Trellis has played such an immense role in the success of our last 4 meetings. The owners & staff have been extremely generous taking in our wacky group of hackers. Everyone has a responsibility to use tools appropriately and be respectful of others in public settings.

Although this was not on purpose, we need to do better. Each month we get together to learn from each other, so if you aren't sure if your fun new hacking tool is going to negatively affect others, that is FINE! It is a great opportunity to meet someone new & learn how to not accidentally hack unsuspecting targets.

Always remember, don't be flippant with your Flipper.
