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."

Damn, that's a different sort of "fat pipe" to the ones most tourists go to the Netherlands for :-)
