It's time once again for Hackers on Planet Earth, a convention of coders, security professionals, federal agents, quasi-social misfits and random brainiacs. This year, in addition to the predictable how-to workshops on hacking virtually any device that is connected to a communications network or possesses a computer chip, H2K2 will also feature workshops on political activism, popular culture, hacker ethics, finances and legal issues.
"HOPE opened my eyes to hacking, showed me that it was about self-education and rigorously exploring to get answers to your questions," Toronto-based technical writer Ian McDonnell said. "Prior to attending HOPE in 1997, I thought hacking pretty much equated (with) criminal activity. But HOPE's emphasis on politics, culture and science really impressed me."
