The Chaos Communication Camp is an international, five-day open-air event for hackers and associated life-forms. The Camp features three conference tracks with interesting lectures, workshops and other stuff.

Chaos Communication Camp 2007 will take place at a brand new location at the Airport Museum Finowfurt, directly at Finow airport. So if you like, you can directly fly to the Camp. You can get to the location easily with a car in the less than 30 minutes starting in Berlin and we will make sure there is a shuttle connection to the next train station.

“In Fairy Dust We Trust!”

CCC 2007 will be held between August 8th and August 12th, 2007.

Black hat hackers vs White hat professionals – This is the Black & White Ball

The Black & White Ball will be held at the stylish Ministry of Sound venue in London, the date is to be confirmed (but it will be in September).

In security parlance, the terms Black Hat and White Hat refer to hackers on opposite sides of the fence. Black Hat hackers break the law when they hack into computers, they do it for their own personal gain. White Hat hackers are professional hackers who do it for a living, who hack with the knowledge and consent of the computer owners. We named the event the Black & White Ball to describe the unique 2-track conference style of presenting first 2 days of the latest Black Hat techniques and trends, followed by 2 days of the latest White Hat defensive methodologies and policies.

In September 2007, Whitedust will be running the first annual Black & White Ball in London. Presented in a unique two track format, The Ball will run for 4 days – the first two bringing the latest in hacker techniques and attacks, the last two presenting the cutting-edge of security defence mechanisms and strategies.

The Ball will present the latest research in information security, network penetration, malware generation, hacker methodologies, 0-day attacks, forensic and anti-forensic methods. Bringing together the leading minds from both the White Hat sphere (CSO’s, Programmers, Security Architects) and the Black Hat sphere (hackers, crackers, virus writers, digital miscreants), the Ball will provide a unique venue to pit the best of the best against the rest.
