The Hacker Society around the (corporate) world

Presented at DEF CON 15 (2007), Aug. 3, 2007, 4 p.m. (50 minutes)

I will talk about the evolution and differences of the hacking communities around the world. Why and how this affects the hackers being taken to the corporate life, motivations, or just why is it better to stay totally underground. How companies attract and manage hackers, and how they scare them away. Computers are cool now, like the tshirt says, and small kids already know what ip addresses are, how to use netstat, etc. Is security gonna become a commodity? Come on over, let's talk about it. The more diverse the crowd is, the better.
