Null Hyderabad

Hyderabad's Chapter of null Community

ABOUT NULL

null is the open security community for curious learners, working professionals, researchers, builders, and bug hunters. Null Hyderabad brings that spirit to the city through free, volunteer-driven, in-person community events that keep security knowledge practical and approachable.

The Hyderabad chapter

Null Hyderabad is where local security enthusiasts meet to learn, teach, share work, and build community. The chapter is open to newcomers and experienced practitioners alike, with room for developers, defenders, offensive researchers, leaders, students, and anyone serious about learning security.

The monthly meetup is usually held on the third Saturday, with deeper hands-on sessions like Humla and Bachav scheduled on select weekends throughout the year.

Part of a larger community

The intro deck positions null as an active open security community across India and beyond. Alongside Hyderabad, the slides highlight chapters and communities connected across Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bhopal, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Dharmashala, Dubai, Doha, Amsterdam, and Singapore.

WHAT WE DO

The Null Hyderabad deck frames the chapter around learning by doing. These are the recurring formats that keep the community active throughout the year.

Monthly Meet

The regular community meetup for talks, news bytes, networking, and sharing what the local security scene is learning right now.

Humla

A hands-on offensive security workshop format focused on practicing real attack techniques in a guided setting.

Bachav

A hands-on defensive security workshop format built around prevention, detection, hardening, and practical blue-team thinking.

Community Discussion

Conversations continue between events through speaker proposals, mailing list discussions, social posts, and community-led follow-ups.

All of this exists for one reason: to make the web a more secure place.
