Why You Should Go to Defcon (Linux Journal) [LWN.net]

Here is a Defcon trip report on Linux Journal. "As for the presentations themselves, the majority I attended were superb and very practical. They provided information you can use straightway and demonstrated new tools out for downloading, the features and inner workings being explained by the creators. It was striking that very few presenters were representatives of well known IT companies or what the general public thinks of as the IT industry. The majority were individual, independent security consultants, often running their own companies, or enthusiasts programming and researching for fun--in one word, hackers, in the definition of the word I support."
