You have no idea how easy these are to set up. Check out: <a href="http://www.citysec.org/forums/1/topics/9" rel="nofollow">http://www.citysec.org/forums/1/topics/9</a>, and then post yours to <a href="http://CitySec.org" rel="nofollow">CitySec.org</a>.<br><br>(1) CitySec isn't a hacker con, for three reasons: (a) most of the people who go are security professionals, and (b) it happens every month, and (c) it's totally informal, with no sponsorships, talks, or fees.<br><br>(0) I'm not sure I'm sold on a con-for-it's-own-sake in Chicago. ChicagoCon is a for-profit enterprise that promotes for-profit training for certifications I'm pretty dubious about. I have no opinions one way or the other about ChicagoCon, but I feel like I'm going to see all the people I'd care to meet at ChicagoCon at ChiSec, and I won't have to pay to do it.Thomas PtacekTue, 29 Apr 2008 15:07:39 -0000http://www.matasano.com/log/1046/chisec-17-is-next-wednesday/#comment-2323912ChiSec is curiously missing from Wikipedia's list of hacker cons. Makes me wonder if there's a TampaSec.SteveMon, 28 Apr 2008 10:59:39 -0000http://www.matasano.com/log/1046/chisec-17-is-next-wednesday/#comment-2323911Since you guys are in Chicago, anyone supporting or going to the "con" portion of ChicagoCon?CGFri, 25 Apr 2008 09:52:50 -0000
