TOORCON 2003 LINEUP FINALIZED

We are proud to announce the finalized lineup for ToorCon this year. With a
total of 29 talks on 2 tracks spanning 2 days, we have a really compelling
lineup this year. This year we are going Back to Basics and introducing a
Policy and Procedure track along side the standard Attack and Defense
topics. This bridges the gap between the underground attack and defense
technologies that are being developed and the business policies and laws
that are in place to ensure your safety and security. This year will also
have a special emphasis on wireless, cryptography, and steganography
technologies that are being developed to protect your freedom and anonymity
from the every increasing listening entities on the internet. More
information is available at:

September 12th, 2003, so please pre-register ASAP and save $15 off the door
price! To commemorate our 5-year milestone, we will be giving away official
