Hi there, I'm looking to make some new friends and find a
security/sysadmin/*nix related server to chat on and learn new things,
I do sysadmin but I specialise in security and auditing code, if
anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Snoonet seems nice, I might check it out, I used to go on abjects and
a few others just looking for some place to chat

Snoonet's good for just chatting. It doesn't have any communities like
what you're looking for yet though.

Depends on what you're into. #reddit is the social uncensored mega
channel but it's kinda a ghost land. Check out the channel list, see
if we have any subreddits you use: https://stats.snoonet.org/channel

\#technology #techsupport (they're all super smart) #reddit can be but
is usually a circle jerk.

OFTC or Freenode might have a good channel for this, but I don't know
of any offhand.

Doubt you'll find any interesting ones from a sec perspective. If you
want to chat hit me up.

All the hacking related ones I've seen thus far are filled with kids
trying to figure out how to ddos someone or spread their dumb malware

\#\#security on freenode is always active

Don't look for the word hack. Ignore its presence (or lack thereof).
Look for *security* and other keywords. Pen testing. You could also
join one of the larger general chat or programming channels and ask in
there.
