GENERAL LINEUP
This year we are putting an emphasis on Privacy and Anonymity because of
our theme of "20 years after big brother". To do this, we've split the
lineup into two distinct tracks, Attack & Destroy and Protect & Defend
spanning across 2 days. This year we will also have a special emphasis
on anonymous networks, advanced attack methods, cryptography,
steganography, forensics and tracking, and reverse engineering.
