HOPE Conference 2008

[JustJon]

The Hackers On Planet Earth conference is in a few weeks and I was wondering if anyone else from RF.Net was planning to go to it. It's July 18-20 in Manhattan and there should be some interesting lectures and how tos.

I'm intrigued- for some reason wanted to write here that I would have liked to go!

Learn lock picking, hacking, play Spot The Feds, etc. It's "The Last Hope"

Protect your rights! Hack the planet!

[Sinestro]

It's not a ploy for the feds to arrest the hackers right?



Are there going to be girls that look like Angelina Jolie and Rosario Dawson there?

Hack the planet!

[Mike Teacher]

No shit.

A radio station guy I know down here asked me for a copy of my CD, I asked what he wanted it for, he said my music would fit a radio show/podcast he was doing, I asked what it was, and he mentioned the thing described above.

We had a loooong talk, I had no idea he was involved with this, I didnt know it existed [hacking yes, organized conferences, no], but we talked about the whole hacking thing, I studied the psychology of it a bit, what motivates so many to do this.

Pretty fascinating, and a way to plug my CD, which appears in Troma Films Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, now held over 8th week in NYC.
