Интересно всё и все. Но вот, что я считаю особенно достойным внимания
уважаемых участников конференции XSU.HACKER :
*Bernie S.* has been hacking computers, phones, radios, and the authorities
for over 25 years - sometimes pushing the envelope too far. In 1995 he was
imprisoned for one and a half years by the Secret Service for possessing
hardware and software they said had the potential for abuse. Later the U.S.
government admitted "there were no victims in the offense" and that they were
more concerned about his exposing their covert activities. Bernie continues to
investigate and report on communications technologies and government
activities.
-------------------------
*Jello Biafra* has now been to three of the five HOPE conferences. He is the
former lead singer for the Dead Kennedys, a spoken word activist who campaigns
for free speech and against corporate dictatorships, and a media hacker who
knows exactly how the industry works and how it can be manipulated Despite his
admitted lack of technical prowess, Jello manages to see the big picture and
how it relates to the hacker culture.
-------------------------
*Richard Cheshire* is known to the hacker and phone phreak community as "The
Cheshire Catalyst." He was the last editor of the legendary TAP Newsletter
which was published from 1971 to 1984. At that time he hacked his way into the
world Telex network but had rested on his laurels since Telex was replaced by
fax and e-mail. He came out of retirement, however, to get his own area code
in 1998 (http://CheshireCatalyst.Com/321/).
-------------------------
*Count Zero* has been a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow since 1992. In 1993
he cofounded the innovative hacker group "The L0pht" in Boston, which has
served as a model for successful hacker collaborative spaces. Today he is
working to further develop collaborative real world hacker communities and has
been working at "Hasty Pastry," a new hacker space in Cambridge.
-------------------------
An original member of the now famous Homebrew Computer Club where he designed
his own computers and helped create the "blue box" tone generator, John Draper
(aka *Captain Crunch*) has over 30 years of programming and security
expertise. One of the first security pioneers, John developed his interest
while learning how to penetrate phone networks. He became the 13th employee of
Apple Computers, designing telephone interface boards and developing both
hardware and software for the Apple II. A cofounder of ShopIP, John now
performs security audits and is an architect of the CrunchBox firewall/IPS
system. He also does database, Python, and secure GUI programming for
SpamCruncher and CrunchBox.
-------------------------
*Emmanuel Goldstein* is the editor and cofounder of 2600, as well as the chief
organizer of the HOPE conferences. He also is a radio host for WBAI's /Off The
Hook/ and WUSB's /Off The Wall/ and directed/produced the documentary on the
Kevin Mitnick story entitled /Freedom Downtime/. Emmanuel to this day enjoys
playing with phones, operators, and customer service representatives
worldwide. His passions include urban exploration, mind exploration, and space
exploration.
-------------------------
Eric Grimm and his law firm CyberBrief, PLC, specialize in the resolution of
technology related legal disputes. Back in 2001 he represented /2600/ when
Ford decided to sue for redirecting fuckgeneralmotors.com to their site. His
victory in that case probably saved others from the horrors of a lawsuit, at
least for now.
-------------------------
*Leo* aka I-baLL originally hails from Moscow. He is a phreaker whose
introduction to the scene occurred a decade ago when he began frequenting
various bulletin boards in the New York City area. He is a jack-of-all-trades
who knows something about everything but not enough to get a job. Currently
Leo edits, writes, and updates (sporadically) the /Reprimand/ e-zine
(http://www.reprimandmag.com), hangs out at Cal's forums
(http://cal.phonelosers.org), and is generally seen hanging around the New
York City 2600 meeting with his two liter bottle of soda.
-------------------------
During the first HOPE conference in 1994, *Kevin Mitnick* was a fugitive. In
1997 during Beyond HOPE, he was in prison. Although released in 2000, he was
denied permission to come to H2K to see the prerelease of /Freedom Downtime/.
And in 2002, Kevin missed H2K2 because he was still on supervised release,
which tends to keep one away from hacker events. But now it's 2004 and there
are no legal barriers to keep Kevin away from The Fifth HOPE, where he'll be
delivering the Friday keynote address. Since his legal troubles ended (not
exactly helped by the mass media's portrayal of him as the "world's most
dangerous hacker"), Kevin has been extremely productive, working as a radio
talk show host, testifying in front of Congress, working on two books, and
doing security consulting. While he's in great demand as a speaker worldwide,
this is the conference he's waited the longest for.
-------------------------
*Jason Scott* is curator of textfiles.com, a website that collects files and
other artifacts from the "BBS Era" of the late 1970s to mid 1990s. Over the
last six years, his mission has expanded into many different historical
projects, including a massive BBS documentary currently being edited for
release later in 2004. He is, at this point, beyond saving.
-------------------------
*The Prophet* aka TProphet has been a /2600/ writer since the early 1990s,
primarily on telecommunications and related subjects. When he is not traveling
abroad, he lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
-------------------------
*Steve Wozniak* has a long history in Silicon Valley and is respected
worldwide as a visionary and philanthropist. He built the first Apple
prototype himself and later started Apple Computers. He was also a major force
behind the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Steve personifies what a true
hacker is and his becoming incredibly successful has done nothing to negate
that. (And yes, he did build Blue Boxes and take a keen interest in phone
phreaking back in the 1970s after reading that infamous article in /Esquire/.)
Steve currently runs Wheels of Zeus (wOz) and is on the board of directors of
Jacent and Danger, Inc.
Да, это все на английском и там. На русском -- присоединяйтесь к #spryg ,
зовите друзей, делайте свои мероприятия. Сегодня (11-Jul-04) начался
последний день Спрыга, 11:00..17:00 .
Из запланированного -- презентация Matrix'а в Москве. Но ведь Спрыг -- такая
мобильная организационная форма, что расписание способно измениться в
предпоследнюю минуту.
