Radio Statler! writes "This weekend marks 2600's last Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. For those of you that can't make it this weekend, Radio Statler! will be streaming live from the event the whole weekend. There will be simulcasted talks, interviews with speakers and important guests, and music 24 hours a day for the duration of the con. Listeners can request music or submit questions by phone or IRC."
The conference schedule (PDF) is available if you're curious about a particular seminar, though not all of them will be broadcast. CNet will be running some related stories about presentations from the conference. So far, they've written about a hacking how-to presentation. We briefly discussed the seventh and final HOPE conference last month.

Developers: Cold Boot Attack Utilities Released At HOPE Conference 112 comments
An anonymous reader writes "Jacob Appelbaum, one of the security researchers who worked on the cold boot attacks to recover encryption keys from memory even after reboot, has announced the release of the complete source code for the utilities at The Last HOPE in New York City. The hope (obligatory pun) is that the release of these tools will help to improve awareness of this attack vector and enable the development of countermeasures and mitigation techniques in both software and hardware. The full research paper (PDF) is also available."

Your geek-card may be reissued as 'provisional,' but no, you're not bad ;) HOPE, as noted is the 'Hackers on Planet Earth, held I think in New York by the 2600 [2600.com] crew at, from reading 2600 quarterly, the HOtel PEnnsylvania in New York. The reason it's the last HOPE is because the Hotel they've used for the past 6 years (HOPEs 1-6) is about to be either redeveloped or demolished. I'm not sure which.
This might be the last HOPE, but there's no certainty it'll be the last 2600 get-together/conference. Here's hoping anyway.

My bad, it's a biennial conference, so...I guess that'd be last 12 years or so. The wiki, if you've not gone there already is over at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.O.P.E. [wikipedia.org].

I'm disappointed they changed the date from the conference from 2007. I needed an excuse to use that time machine I bought :-(.

Video will be available after the conference, probably for money. The radio station's operating off donated bandwidth, and we have nowhere near enough for video streams.

Of course he doesn't; he's trolling. Try to find evidence out there for any of his claims. You won't find anything.

-Emanuel Goldstein is self-righteous because he has decided that real security is better than the illusion of security. Not the other way 'round. He just can't yell about that all day. It would make for bad radio/magazine/allkindsofthings.
