		<title>DEF CON Forums - DC35321 Cork, Ireland</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Location: Cork, Ireland

Point of Contact: Bob McArdle

POC Email: defconcork@gmail.com

Website: http://corksec.robertmcardle.com/

DC35321 Meets: every month at a local bar (An Spailpin Fanach ), normally on the night of the 2nd Tuesday of the month. There is always 1-2 tech talks, and lots of banter over beers with like minded folks. We do some special nights like an annual hacking pub quiz.
Description: The group was organized originally by a security researcher, Bob McArdle and later was joined by two others Jack Baylor and Maurice Cronin. Since June 2013 we've managed to keep it running every month without fail. The format was actually inspired by DC4420 talks in London - so we have 1-2 talks on hacking or attacking emerging tech each month, and social chat around drinks. We normally get about 60-70 people.

For various reasons the group also started to be known as CorkSec - and that name tended to stick more so than the original DC021353 - so we refer to it as CorkSec but consider it a DEF CON Group in terms of the spirit of how it's run.
Interests: Quite broad as we have a mix of people getting into security, and folks who are in it a long time - so topics range from 101 tool intros up to really advanced research that you would see at international conferences. We also have a fair amount of discussion around emerging tech, IOT, Blockchains and more.
Current Projects: There are a couple of study group especially for folks working towards certain certs like OCSP, and we've been working on getting together a CTF team (and hosting one locally too).]]></description>
