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 compellin=

g

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 anonymi=

ty

from the every increasing listening entities on the internet. More

information is available at:
