Hey gang :-)

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried attending or finding local "Security" user groups? I have found it helpful to attend user group meetings to help broaden my knowledge.

For instance when I was learning ColdFusion, I found that ateending the user group meetings once a month it was great experiance and a great place to meet people who want to share experiances.

Now, I am not looking for the "Elite Hackers of San Antonio User Group" meetings or anything, but more of a gathering of IT proffessionals that concentrate on Network Security, hardening, penetration testing and so on.

Been unable to my knowledge find anything like that locally. Wondering if anyone knows of any resources to find such a group. I do live in the San Antonio, TX area and the only ones I can find.....are the ones that meet at the food court in the local mall and BS for 30 minutes...lol

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have though of starting one, but my experiance isnt vast enough to justify starting a group.


Any ideas???


Thanks!!!
