Founding and running information security clubs has enriched my life in concrete, positive ways. In this talk, I encourage others to form groups devoted to hacking and security. By doing so, I hope that listeners go on to kickstart security scenes in their hometowns while also enjoying the same benefits that I enjoyed. Much of the advice comes from personal, hands-on experience. I will be discussing the misconceptions that I had about running an information security club, the struggles encountered, and the successes enjoyed.
