Hacker/Security Conferences

[mpt]

I've never been to a conference, and it seemed like a lot of good stuff was going on at HOPE (2x01). I did some basic searching on google for some, but I was hoping to get some suggestions on what conferences there are for hackers (white or black hat) and people with interests in computer security.

There was one, where Darren went too in LA? Where he met Harrsion in one of the last 2 episodes

I think that one was HOPE. It seemed interesting: AMD virtualization for undetectable programs and rainbow tables from MD5Lookup.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm in Philadelphia, so New York and Washington DC are not far.

I'm hopfefully attending next year's Defcon if I manage to stop getting drunk all the time and actually save some cash.

Here's a link to their downloadable video, mp3 and text lectures. Most of which I found very informative/entertaining. Especially the "Hacking Nmap" one.

I make it to Black Hat and DefCon as it’s always a laugh and you can see/ learn some interesting things, but a lot of the presentations are just repeated at other conferences so it seem a little pointless attending them unless it’s a social thing.

I was just compiling a list of some of the recommended conferences for myself, and thought I would share. I know some of these already occurred, but at least it gives you a general time period and location to expect future ones (bold dates are ones that have yet to occur).

Defcon 8/4/06 - 8/6/06. Las Vegas, NV

ShmooCon 3/23/07 - 3/25/07. Washington, D.C.

PhreakNIC 10/20/06 - 10/22/06. Nashville, TN

Black Hat DC 2/26/07 - 3/1/07. Arlington, VA

Black Hat USA 6/28/07 - 8/2/07. Las Vegas, NV

HOPE 6 7/21/06 - 7/23/06. New York City, NY

RUXCON 9/30/06- 10/1/06. University of Technology, Australia

Let me know if there are updated dates for these conferences or if there are more, and I'll edit this post.

I don't believe that exists. Would be a cool thing to make though. I'm sure a lot of people would love it.

A cyber-carpool site? Sounds like the perfect thing for a cereal-killer/rapist.

I'm joking. This would actually be a cool thing if it could later be a nationwide service. Every "Save the Earth" org would kiss your arse.
