Developers, admins and security specialists alike meet to discuss the current
state of computer security and the need for change.

http://www.hivercon.com/ -- Dublin, Ireland will be the venue for this year's
HiverCon. With a rich line-up of high-end technical talks, guests will be

given the unprecedented opportunity to meet and learn from the industry

leaders on a one to one basis. While covering core problems such as web
insecurity and intrusion detection, HiverCon 2002 will also feature talks
on
the security implications of current and prominent technologies such as
Voice
over IP and wireless networking.

HiverCon prides itself on its
deep knowledge stance, openly discussing
unrealised problems and discussing new and innovative solutions. Perhaps
the
highlight of the two day conference will be the much anticipated keynote
speech
by Richard Thieme (thiemeworks.com) who will provide a unique and refreshing
look at new ways of thinking about computer security.

Rain Forest Puppy (wiretrip.net) will be presenting a talk detailing
vulnerable webservers and will include a sampling of an Internet-wide web
server scan run by rfp.labs. He will also be making available a new version
of the Whisker web assessment tool.

Ofir Arkin (atstake.com) will be speaking on his current area of research,
Voice over IP, covering the security issues with VoIP based protocols. The

talk will also examine ways to bypass any element in a VoIP architecture.

Simple Nomad (bindview.com) will be discussing stenography, digital
drop boxes, covert channels and more in an effort to take the current press

regarding terrorists on the internet and seeing how "real world" it actually
is.

speakers will be released over the next few months. HiverCon will, however,
