Cover6 Community is one of the largest #cybersecurity communities in the nation & we've been at it since 2012. Live & virtual meetups. Real talk. Real professionals. No gatekeeping. Whether you're breaking in or have been in the game, you belong here. meetup.com/cover6community

Tomorrow night's speakers are probably rehearsing right now. Send them some good energy, then show up at 6 PM ET. meetup.com/cover6community/e… #Cover6Community

The meetups are once a week. The conversation runs all week on Discord: CTF help, study partners, job leads and first-talk practice. Come say hi: discord.gg/x7MXS3yMqb #Cover6Community #CyberCommunity

Tip: at every meetup, jot down one term you didn't know and look it up afterward. Ten minutes a session builds a real vocabulary. Bring a notebook Wednesday: Oct 28 · 6 PM ET · free meetup.com/cover6community/e… #Cover6Community

CTF tip: when you're stuck, write down what you know and what you've tried. Half the time the gap jumps out. The other half, it makes your question in #ctf much easier to answer. #CTF
