Social Engineering

Presented at The Next HOPE (2010), July 17, 2010, 9 p.m. (60 minutes)

People have been known to come to HOPE just for this panel, in which the history, stories, and demonstrations of social engineering are laid out for all to see - and hear. Something will invariably be revealed over the telephone by someone who really should know better in our traditional live demonstration that never fails to entertain.


Presenters:

  • Friends
  • Emmanuel Goldstein
    Emmanuel Goldstein came up with the idea for HOPE conferences in 1994 after growing tired of constantly having to visit his friends from around the world. By having all of them show up at the same time over a single weekend every couple of years under the guise of attending a trendy conference, he was able to find the time to watch every episode of Dr. Who in order, pursue a career as a public nuisance, and come up with the idea for Windows 7. (Lawsuits are scheduled for the fall.) When not trying to define his life in a paragraph, he publishes 2600 Magazine, hosts radio shows Off The Hook and Off The Wall, and spends a few hours a day trying to think of a clever name for the next HOPE conference (not this one), which won’t be necessary if they destroy the damn hotel.
