Fifth HOPE Conference Underway

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hoping-for-a-new-name-next-year dept.

The Fifth HOPE conference is starting today at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. If you haven't heard of it, read through their website or see our report on the last conference to get some idea. The lockpicking talk is scheduled for Saturday morning, and Kevin Mitnick, Steve Wozniak, and Jello Biafra will all be speaking. Well worth your time and the $50 admission fee, so if you're in the Big Apple, come on down.

    To smack Kevin Mitnick? I know a lot of people that would like the opportunity to pop this attention whore that was trashed the name "Hacker". We could donate the revenue to the EFF to help support the fight for real hackers, not criminal posuer jerks.

      From what little I know of him, most of what he did seemed more like social engineering than anything else. Perhaps his lack of frenetic typing at black keyboards hooked up to 6 lcd monitors with rotating 3D objects is why we haven't seen a movie about him yet.

    "If you meet Jen Savage tell her I said "Hi!"

    I said hi to her for ya. She said she hopes you leave your house one day.
