  1. Hacker underground? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    There is no hacker underground, unless you count FSF and OSI, but I would hardly consider them underground. Don't you mean cracker underground?

    We are lucky enough to have him in our local DefCon group. Several of his past presentations can be found here: www.dc214.org
