Donation FAQ

Why doesn't DC916 accept monetary donations?

As a community-focused group, we prefer to keep things simple and avoid the administrative overhead of managing financial donations. This allows us to focus on our mission of building a strong cybersecurity community in Sacramento.

What kinds of tools are useful to donate?

Based on our group's focus areas, we appreciate:

• Hardware: Raspberry Pis, Arduino boards, ESP32/8266 devices, badge-making components
• Radio/SDR: Software Defined Radios (SDRs), HackRFs, antennas, RF equipment
• Lock-picking: Practice locks, pick sets, teaching aids
• Homelab equipment: Network switches, routers, servers for security testing
• AgHacking: Agricultural IoT devices, sensors, control systems
• ICS/SCADA: Industrial control system components, PLCs, HMIs
• Wireless: WiFi adapters with monitor mode, Bluetooth sniffers
• Books: Texts on malware analysis, reverse engineering, red teaming

These items support our workshops, training sessions, and hands-on projects in reverse engineering, malware analysis, hardware hacking, and other cybersecurity areas.
