Go To Conference - DEFCON
This Video Project will introduce the infosec conference, including transportation, local information and the special of the conference.
Information security community for women in Taiwan.
HITCON GIRLS is an all-female information security community. To propagate the idea of “Everyone can learn about information security!”, we aim to gather all the women who are interested and willing to take a deep dive into the knowledge and techniques to join the community.
We form study groups with various subjects for encouraging our members to overcome the difficulties through learning and share their knowledge in the community. Our mission is to create an inspiring and encouraging environment for women to learn information security, and to increase the inclusivity in the tech industry.
Some members started going their own way, maybe graduating into the workforce, maybe loving their jobs more, maybe finding new goals through the community. We expect the changes made by HITCON GIRLS to fall around the world like windblown fruit and petals, and each new seedling represents "women can be information security experts, gender is not a barrier".
HITCON GIRLS is consist of two units:
Administrative team
Here are what the administrative team do:
- Organization administration
- Events and activities planning
- Financial and sponsorship managing
- Facilities service
- Communicating and coordinating with members
The most important mission of the administrative team is to “make sure the organization is alive and active!
The world of information security includes various subjects. We set up numbers of study teams according to the interested subjects of our members in every period cycle. Each team usually operates independently and organizes internal sharing sessions in normal time. In every month, we hold a joint study session to exchange and share knowledge between different groups. In addition to focusing on a specific subject, we believe it’s important to absorb various knowledge as well.
We not only foster interests in one areas but study across a wide range.

The beginning of HITCON GIRLS.
We get together for hold an amazing workshop activity.
HITCON GIRLS was found by a group of women who are full of passionate to information security. These women were all members of HITCON and founded the new community under the assistance and support of HITCON. Therefore, they named this community as “HITCON GIRLS”.
Please see the introduction above. The study groups concentrates on learning, technical knowledge exchanges, while the administrative team is responsible for the administration and activities planning. Both are indispensable parts of HITCON GIRLS, and also an important driving force in the community operation!
welcome and thank you for the interest. Knowledge of information security is not only a shield but also a sword, in order to prevent the abusing of these knowledge, we hold a screening interview with our recruitment. We recruit new member regularly every year. Please follow our Facebook for the latest information. If we have a new audition activity, we post it on the Facebook fan group!
We do not provide any course or training. Therefore, participants need to be capable of doing self-learning and time scheduling for their study. We hope our members are all eager to learn. As long as you are bold in questioning and seeking for progress, even you are just a beginner who does not have technical background, you are welcome to join us!
We hold regular meeting every month. Each group take turns to get on stage and share their latest research. With this meeting, our member could learn various knowledge not limited to the selected topic of their study group. As for the meeting regulation of each study group, each study group make their own rules under the agreement and discussion of each members.
