I’ve been confirmed as an official speaker at HOPE Number Six, which takes place this summer from July 21st - 23rd, 2006 in New York City, USA.

I will be giving not one, but TWO presentations titled “Proactively-Secure Programming Techniques,” and “Constructing Cryptographic Protocols.” Prepare to get your faces rocked.

So come on down to NYC and join the party with Hacktivismo, the Ninja Strike Force, and the CULT OF THE DEAD COW! k-1337.

Our very own Oxblood Ruffin engineered the Goolag campaign in response to Google’s new alliance with the Chinese government’s oppressive tactics. Also Oxblood’s doing is an interesting reaction to the hearings U.S. Congress is having regarding Microsoft, Yahoo!, and Cisco’s cooperation as well.

And there are some good discussions going on at the Ninja Strike Force Public Dojo, in case you’re feeling philosophical today.

Today we released a new text file titled “A Decay of Ideals” regarding the torture tactics used by the U.S. government.
