Summercon is our chance to get together, talk to each other face-to-face, and swap information about innovations, trends, practices, and rumors in the field of computer security. We welcome all walks of life and all sides of the debate to Summercon: hackers, crackers, script kiddies, w4r3z dud3z, feds, narcs, cops, concerned parents, hangers-on, strippers, media whores, Geraldo Rivera, and Kevin Mitnick.

We've been doing this for some time, and are among the few people who understand how much technology influences our lives. Unlike most people, we try to take back some sort of control whenever possible.

Oh, and also, we drink a lot.

What was the greatest moment of Summercon 2008?

Summercon Ground Rules Reiterated

Summercon is a social event like none other. Those of you who have attended in the past know that we can get a little rowdy at times.

Shameless Invitation to the Media (or, the Intersection of 1st and 21st)

Summercon is not really designed as a media event, which is evident by our utter lack of a press kit, limited ability to conduct interviews, and propensity to throw shoes at speakers who fail to entertain us. That said, I really like talking to members of the media about what they do, since I consider journalism to be a means of hacking the public consciousness.

So in an effort to encourage members of the media to show up for Summercon, if you happen to be an accredited member of the media, I will buy you a drink in exchange for your business card. You don't need to file a story; hell, you don't even need to talk to me (though I'd love to chat; off the record, of course). Just drop by, show me your press credentials, give me a business card, and collect your free drink.

JavaScript: This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

acidus [Billy Hoffman]
The gloves are coming off. This presentation will cover as many malicious things that can be done with JavaScript that I can cram into a 1/2 hour. Stealing history, search engine queries, router attacks, drive-by pharming, port scanning, web crawling, automated SQL injection, source code polymorphism, and sandbox detection.
