If you’re not already following some of our excellent NovaInfosec Twits and are wondering where to get the best NoVA-, DC-, and MD-related security tweets, look no further than this post. Published every Friday, our “Infosec Ramblings” post takes many of my security tweets/RTs from the past week and puts them into one easy to digest post. And if you don’t want to wait an entire week, just stop on by my @grecs Twitter account.
Well excluding last night, there seemed to only be one meetup this past week. You may have even seen me there…
- Trying to get to @novahackers. Beltway/66 traffic sux. #

There’s also some upcoming meetups for those of you who are interested … including Charmsec 29.
- #MEETUP Charmsec #29 is 9/30. A Thursday. At 7:00 located near the second floor bar of @Slaintepub in Fells. (via @charmsec) #
