University of Twente NOC Destroyed
JanJoost writes "Around 08.00 CET today the University of Twente Network Operations Center, which amongst other things hosts a SURFnet PoP as well as security.debian.org and non-us.debian.org, caught fire. The UT, which hosted the HAL in august last year is completely unreachable and is not likely to come back up any time soon. The fire department has given up every hope on protecting the server area and is now trying to protect the surrounding buildings. More information can be found at the Telegraaf, Planet Internet and Twentsche Courant. Pictures can be found here and here. It's a shame to see a great infrastructure go down in flames like this." -
Hack Parties for 2002 You Shouldn't Miss?
Happy HAcker asks: "For those who went there, HAL2001 was just a wonderful place to be during summer of 2001. I'm wondering if there are any planned events like this in 2002? Events planned just about anywhere in the world are welcome." I hear about all of these cool hacking events over in Europe and figure maybe, with a little advanced warning, I might be able to plan one in, someday. -

An anonymous reader sent in a link to a presentation given by Tom Vogt at HAL 2001. He reviews the whole CSS/DeCSS mess from the beginning, which makes a it a nice backgrounder for people who are wondering what the Sklyarov, 2600 and other cases are all about. -
Hackers At Large, August 10-12
Leto writes: "Eight years ago, at HEU'93 we stressed the importance of Internet for the masses. Four years ago, at HIP'97, we pointed out the emerging security problems. This year, it is time to sound the alarms about decaying privacy and emerging security problems. What do you get when you gather the Dutch Hacktic veterans, The German CCC, The Bay Area Cypherpunks, The 2600 people, The EFF and the cryptography and security experts from all over the world? A Hackers At Large 2001." (More announcement follows.)"HAL2001 is a camping event on campus of the University of Twente in the Netherlands. Connected with 15km UTP, 2km fiber, 50 wireless base stations and a 1GB uplink, we're providing 3000 people with probably the most stable hostile network ever.
"Talk to the experts on IPsec, IPv6, Multicast, and be part of the largest public deployment of IPsec and DNSSEC. There will be talks and workshops about GSM security, AI, Lawful and unlawful interception, digital safes, bank security, copy protection, biometrics, IP allocation, intellectual property and anonymity and even an RSI workshop.
"If you can truly celebrate the Internet and embrace new technologies, without forgetting your responsibility to tell others that new technologies come with new risks to the individual and to society as a whole, then this is the place to be this summer."
