We're DEF CON 909 — a community of hackers, security researchers, and the curious, serving California's Inland Empire: San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

$ principles

Even though the Electronic Frontier Alliance (EFA) is now concluded, we still adhere to the principles it stood for:

• Free Expression — people should be able to speak their minds to whoever will listen.
• Security — technology should be trustworthy and answer to its users.
• Privacy — technology should allow private and anonymous speech, and let users set their own parameters about what to share with whom.
• Creativity — technology should promote progress by allowing people to build on the ideas, creations, and inventions of others.
• Access to Knowledge — curiosity should be rewarded, not stifled.

$ status

We meet on the third Friday of every month. In the meantime, this is where the group actually lives:
