[0x6C3333746861636B73] - The Meet

The year's almost toast, and the holiday season is creeping in, but we're not coasting to the finish line just yet. Translation? We've cooked up a killer lineup to approach the end of the year with some serious firepower.

Kicking things off, one of the notorious researchers in the PlayStation scene, José Coixão (@José Coixão), makes his grand return. After his first intro, think of this as our intermezzo, that sweet spot between acts. If you've ever geeked out over console exploits or wondered how hackers cracked the PS4 and the twists behind PS5 breakthroughs, this is your golden ticket. Expect insider intel, unexpected plot twists, and a front-row seat to the console hacking scene.

But wait, there's more in the pipeline. Mário Lima (@comet) returns to the stage to walk us through his five-year odyssey navigating responsible disclosure in Portugal's public sector. Expect real-world lessons, exposed weaknesses, and a few nail-biting close calls. If you're hunting bugs or navigating disclosure minefields, this session is mandatory viewing. It's packed with battle-tested tips, clever tricks, and enough war stories to take home.

Just a friendly reminder, this is an in-person event. Before RSVPing, please double-check that you can attend and be there in person. Good logistics rely on it!

In the meantime, you can join our Slack chat (https://bit.ly/3XbyGQu) to discuss all kinds of hackish stuff and, of course, interact with other members.

Don't sleep on this one. Your end-of-year arsenal depends on it.

If you've been around the block, the path is "unmistakable" (or not :D).
