These past few years have seen a significant increase in the number of available open source security tools. Many of these tools are actively maintained and have strong communities dedicated to their use, making impactful security software available to everyone.

Getting involved in the open source community can seem daunting, but it is incredibly rewarding. This talk will guide attendees on how to get involved in the open source security community, using lessons learned from popular open source security tools to demonstrate how to most effectively contribute to security tool development as a user, a contributor, and a maintainer.
