Back from HOPE 5 Conference in New York City
We got back from NYC last night after attending HOPE 5. It was my first HOPE conference, and I have to say that I thought it was awesome. My favorite speaker there was definitely Steve Wozniak. In fact, I wish I could be just like Steve. Steve's transmitter stories were vastly amusing, and I like his two-dollar bill stories as well. I also found it interesting that everytime Steve designed a new computer, Steve Jobs would say "let's sell it!" Anyhow, there were probably about 2000-odd attendees at the conference. I was dreaming of getting 1000 people in my room when I was speaking on Morph. Unfortunately, Emmanuel Goldstein and Kevin Mitnick were scheduled to do a panel on social engineering at the same time as my talk, so I got significantly less attendees at my talk. Fellow Syn Ack Labs members Viki Navratilova and Todd MacDermid also gave talks at HOPE.
