Bad Bayou

Who We Are

We are Bad Bayou - a Louisiana-based community of cybersecurity professionals, ethical hackers, and technology enthusiasts. Like a good gumbo, we bring together diverse ingredients to create something greater than the sum of our parts.

What We Do

Our community focuses on building cybersecurity knowledge while embracing the Louisiana spirit of hospitality and good times:

🛡️ Security Research & Education

We explore the latest vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and defense mechanisms while sharing knowledge through workshops and presentations.

🎓 Hands-On Learning

From Capture The Flag competitions to live demonstrations, we believe in learning by doing - with a side of jambalaya.

🤝 Community Building

We foster connections between security professionals, students, and enthusiasts in a welcoming, inclusive environment.

🎉 Good Times

Because cybersecurity doesn’t have to be all serious all the time - we know how to laissez les hack temps rouler!

Our Values

• Ethical hacking - We promote responsible disclosure and legal security research
• Knowledge sharing - Everyone has something to teach and something to learn
• Inclusivity - All skill levels and backgrounds are welcome
• Community - We support each other’s growth and success
• Fun - Learning is better when you’re enjoying yourself
