826746 2009-11-02 23:48:00 what is kiwicon?

It is a gathering for those who are passionate about security . It has been
put together by the . nz security community for the . nz security community .
Following in the tradition of previous cons, the atmosphere is extremely laid
back; even the feds don't wear suits .

Kiwicon is about sharing information . It's about intersections and
cross-pollination and dissemination of infomation .
feel free to bring your RFID readers, your lockpicks or even your back track DVD
but mostly you just need to bring yourself and the willingness to learn .

Previously, Kiwicon has featured:
* the Crackstation
* iKat (last seen at a airport near you)
* layer two telco shenanigans
* a video montage of boardrooms across Japan
* old school phreaking on new school kit
* exposure of RIM's failure to hide their snooping capabilities
* fun with the SCADA systems
* making Microsoft look like turkeys,
* nuking various heap protections from space
* and looking at the certificate chain of your new passport .

most of all this is a place where geeks can catch up on whats happening in the security world .

when and where?
28TH & 29TH November 2009 (a weekend)
At victoria university pipitea campus (by the train station)

the price?
$50 , this covers two days of security presentations .
any food / drink is extra cost .

826748 2009-11-03 00:45:00 If you want to be a hacker, the lack of a ticket should be merely a spur to creative endeavours. ;) R2x1 (4628)
