We're happy to announce that Black Hat is returning to Tokyo for another
Black Hat Japan in October 2008. We'll be bringing another strong lineup of
speakers and trainers and the best lineup of technical security
presentations available in Japan. We hope to see you there!
This August, The Black Hat Briefings returned to the venerable Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino for another installment of the premier North American technical information security conference.
Black Hat returned to Europe with an expanded program with four full tracks, more trainings and more intense, comprehensive presentations on the hottest topics in information security.
Black Hat DC was a great success - this year's presentations featured a strong emphasis on the areas of attacks and wireless security.

Black Hat Webcast #3 is Schdeuled for 1pm PST September 18th and we're trying something new this time. We're bringing back one of our most popular talks for a live reprise. We'll have Alexander Sotirov to revisit his Vista security presentation and answer audience questions. If you missed it because you were in another talk, or because you weren't in Vegas at all, this is a great time to get up close and personal with our speakers and get some cutting-edge info about Vista. If you're interested, you can register here.

Nathan McFeters, Jon Heasman and Rob Carter gave a very popular and heavily covered presentation this year that introduced the world to the term "gifar." It's fascinating information, and well presented. We hope that those of you who couldn't make it to the Vegas event will get a taste of the kind of presentations attendees get to see and attendees who weren't able to make it to the Beyond Document.Cookie will get their chance to see the presentation in full.

AV Tokyo, which used to be the "drinking party that follows Black Hat Japan" has grown into a one-day conference of its own. It's close, inexpensive and should be good fun. If you're interested in learning more, go here.
We hope to see you there.
Black Hat will have some intermittent scheduled downtime Wednesday, August 27 and Thursday, August 28. We appreciate your patience as we perform some much-needed upgrades.

booth, EFF attorneys will provide legal information on reverse engineering, vulnerability reporting, and copyright law, as well as patent,
trade secret, and free speech issues.
