C2Society Workshop

A hands-on cybersecurity workshop covering ethical hacking, cryptography, web and AI security, OSINT, and lockpicking — building the fundamentals and the hacker mindset. Hosted by C2Society and DC702.

About C2Society

C2Society is a cybersecurity and hacker community based in Las Vegas, Nevada. We host workshops, training sessions, and social events aimed at making cybersecurity accessible to everyone — from curious beginners to experienced professionals.

We operate in partnership with DC702, the Las Vegas DEF CON Groups chapter. DC702 has been active in the community for many years and is closely tied to DEF CON, the world's largest hacker conference held annually in Las Vegas.

C2Workshop is one of our workshops for those looking for an exposure to cybersecurity and hacking — an introduction to the tools, concepts, and mindset of our industry.

Lesson

Ethical Hacking

The foundation — what ethical hacking is, the legal and ethical ground rules, the penetration-testing methodology, and where to keep learning (HTB, OffSec, pwn.college, and more).

Lesson

Crypto

Cryptography — Learn about cryptography and how it drives nearly all modern security controls and technology.

Lesson

Web

Web — Learn about web hacking and the basics of how a website works (and is attacked).

Lesson

AI

Artificial Intelligence — learn what AI and LLMs are, how they're changing cybersecurity, and try a hands-on prompt-injection challenge.

Lesson

Lockpicking

Learn how pin tumbler locks work, explore raking vs. single-pin picking, and understand tension as a metaphor for precision hacking.

Lesson

OSINT

Open Source Intelligence — learn how to gather insights from publicly available information. Includes Google dorking, digital footprints, and real-world OSINT techniques.
