=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - P.I.S.S. Philez Number 37 = = - - HTCIA Security Con = = - - by Dial Tone = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= while on vacation to south lake tahoe, i ran into an exclusive"Industry and Law enforcement only" confrence on computer crime. this exclusive conference run by High Technology Crime Investigation Association (HTCIA) featured speakers and vendors such as Network General, AT&T Wireless, InfoTek, and Web Sleuth. The talk was of preventing high tech crimes (especially those on computers) and the new gizzmos that available to cor(pirate)ations to do so. Unfortuneately I never got the invite to this insider event. However, those who did get invited ranged from small ISP's to major cor(pirate)ations. The mostly bald attendies of this conference seemed to talk the lingo(I heard hacker, and phreaking and sniffers, more than once), but they were carefree and loose lipped to the social enginerring I was doing. The last thing these shmucks would have expected is to have a EBA Artist (Electronic Black Arts) such as myself preying upon their little get together. I over heard the vendors yaking about sniffers and making boasts such as offering "immeadiate intrusion detection and automated response" software. I was unable to slip into the conference, but I mingled with the vendors as they packed up, I collected every scrap of literature I could grab. I watched the vendors leave, returned to my room, thumbed through the papers I grabbed, and thought to myself that if these nw products could live up to their vendor's claims that the hacking world is in immadiate danger of...having to learn new tricks to circumvent the new security measures. But hey, that's what drives us to do what we do, to learn, to know. You can be sure I'll do my damnedist to get into the next one of these get togethers, invited or not. If you're intersted I heard some damn thing about having to have a membrship to their little club, but if you're not into that you can always crash the party. One of the next ones will be held Nov. 2-4 in Myrtle Beach South Carolina in 1998(featuring Jim Settle--former head of the FBI computer crime squad). I think a group of hackers making an appearance might cause them to piss their pants so dress incogneto. DIAL-TONE [As soon as I get a reply from him (he's still on vacation) then I'll post all the inphoz he got. Watch for an update, soon. And by the way, I live about an hour from Myrtle Beach. Feer. Me and my hacker buddies here are going. -Def] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PISS - People into Serious Shit Founderz - Defenestrator, PhrostByte Memberz - Author Parselon Wu Forever kQs CGibbons Extinction Faekon/Homarid Grench Greenseed Tim 121 Rhodekyll Dial Tone Psycho Phreak Djdude Circular Reclusion Havok Luther AT2Screech Contributors- Sameer Ketkar PISS, the author, and anyone else does not take responsibility for what you do with the stuph contained in this phile.
