SecureDrop Hackathon Co-hosted by the MIT Student Information Processing Board and MIT Undergrad Women in Physics; sponsored by the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Come learn about how to protect your privacy in light of the NSA spying revelations and hack on free software to protect whistleblowers. We'll mostly work on SecureDrop, an open-source anonymous document submission system for journalism organizations that was started by late activist Aaron Swartz.

Students who are new to software development are welcome! Food will be provided.
