      Nachdem sich die "Black Hat Briefings" ganz offensichtlich als  
Renner erwiesen haben, weiten die Defcon-Hacker ihre  
pädagogischen Aktivitäten nach Europa aus. Dass die angepeilte  
Zielgruppe eher eine grosskopfert/industrielle ist, legen  
Tagungsgebühren von 1200 Dollar aufwärts nahe.

<FUD> It's late. You're in the office alone, catching up on some  
system administration tasks {Yawn}.  Behind you, your network  
servers hum along quietly, reliably. Life is good. No one can get to  
your data or disrupt your information world.  Your network is secure.  
Or is it? </FUD> 
 
While we could create more fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD), we  
would rather announce the first European Black Hat Briefings  
conference, held in Amsterdam on October 28-29! 
 
We created The Black Hat Briefings conference series to provide in- 
depth information about current and potential threats against  
computer systems by the people who discover the threats. To do  
this, we assemble a group of vendor neutral security professionals  
and let them talk candidly about the security problems businesses  
face and the solutions they see to those problems.  No gimmicks,  
just straight talk by people who make it their business to explore the  
ever-changing security space. 
 
While many conferences focus on information and network security,  
only The Black Hat Briefings will put your managers, engineers, and  
software programmers face-to-face with today's cutting edge  
computer security experts and "underground" security specialists.   
Our goal is to provide your technical staff with nitty-gritty technical  
information about current and potential threats to your computer  
systems and its associated environments and the CEO/CIO/CTO  
with no-nonsense information about what issues to be aware of, and  
what they can ignore. 
 
Only The Black Hat Briefings will provide your staff with the  
pragmatic tools and knowledge they need to help thwart those  
lurking in the shadows of your fire wall or the depths of your  
company's WAN. The reality is they are out there [back to the FUD].  
The choice is yours--you can live in fear of them, or you can learn  
from people like them. 
 
CONFERENCE OVERVIEW 
 
Spanning two days The Black Hat Briefings Europe will focus on the  
vital security issues facing organizations with large Enterprise  
networks and mixed network operating systems. Topics will include  
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), Computer Forensics (CF)  
systems, Incident Response, Hostile Mobile Code, Vulnerability  
Analysis, secure programming techniques, tool selection for creating  
and effectively monitoring your networks, and management issues  
related to computer security.  You will sit face-to-face with the people  
developing the tools used by and against hackers. 
 
The Black Hat Briefings has developed a reputation for lively and in- 
depth presentations and discussions between "underground" security  
celebrities, vendors, and attendees.  We encourage audience  
interaction, and design the schedule to allow you to spend time with  
the speakers in a more relaxed social setting.  Technical networking  
during the day . . . and social networking into the night.  What more  
could you want? 
 
You will receive outstanding visual demonstrations, as well as  
speakers who are authoritative in their fields.  And, as always, an  
excellent time!
