No-Tech Hacking Johnny Long
The best way to describe this talk is to simply quote some of what we received from its presenter: “I’m Johnny. I hack stuff. I’ve been at it for quite a while now, and I’ve picked up a few tricks along the way. I get asked about my tricks all the time, mostly by kids who saw that movie. You know the one. But I’ve always said no. I’ve held onto my secrets as part of the pact I made with the hacker underground. I mean, I’m allowed to give talks and presentations about hacking stuff, but the secrets… the real super-cool secrets I’ve had to keep to myself. The head of the underground said so. But I got this email the other day that says I’m THIS close to getting kicked out of the underground. Seems the glare of the public eye has been on me for far too long and I’ve become a liability. So, I’m going to be proactive. I’m going to quit before they can fire me…. The underground is gonna be sooo ticked off.”

Grand Theft Lazlow - Hacking the Media by Laughing at Them
A talk by Grand Theft Auto IV cowriter and coproducer Lazlow focusing on that phenomenal project as well as what’s been going on in media in the last decade. Beginning in 1996, corporations began gobbling up every newspaper, billboard, radio and TV station in the United States. Ironically, since then, readership and ratings have plummeted, resulting in entertainment executives and editors programming even more sensationalist and desperate content. Lazlow discusses how parody of the media in video games, on TV, and online can often garner a larger audience reaction than the media establishment itself. He will describe why the mainstream media invents crises, and the reaction by the media and Hollywood establishment to the growing popularity of interactive worlds where players are celebrities rather than smug starlets tittering for TMZ. How can you hack the media? In this interactive talk Lazlow talks about his work in radio, video games, and the future of the media, democracy, and the role of comedy in it.

Featured Speaker - Kevin Mitnick
The “world’s most dangerous hacker” and subject of our documentary Freedom Downtime (along with many other more sensationalist pieces over the decades) gives us an update on what’s been going on in his life since the last time he was here in 2004. (A severe case of food poisoning in Colombia forced him to cancel his HOPE Number Six appearance - which may be one of the stories he tells this time.)

Cory Doctorow | The Coming War on General Computation
Users of personal computers have consistently been forced to deal with copyright protection schemes that limited their use of software. From copy protection to rootkits, companies continue to try to protect their material through technical methods and legal challenges. In his presentation at the 28th annual Chaos Communication Congress (28c3), Cory Doctorow reviews the history of these issues, but also warns of the continued war against the general purpose computer.
Cory argues that proposed laws such as the Stop Internet Piracy Act (SOPA) and other worldwide legal actions only make it easier for developers to monitor the use of the computer via malware installed as part of the application software. He calls for greater consideration of ways to protect copyright without reducing the value of the general purpose computer to the end user.
