Have fun there!

I've been attending HIP97 and HAL2001 and it was really great fun.
Listened to Phil Zimmermann, Theo de Raadt , Lucky Green, John Gilmore among a ton of other cool hackers.
Saw my first live Van Eck phreaking demonstration over ~10m - was fucking impressed.
Oh the memories.. largest non-military openair network then, though wiring was a bit improvised :-)



PegDHCP was invented as joke, but was used on both occasions (RFC2322)

Nowadays this kind of cons is just getting too luxurious and expensive for my taste, the same time I get too old to sit in a tent with a desktop computer so the additional comfort is surely welcome.

Was always wanting to attend a defcon in the 90s-early 2000s actually until I got rounded up on behalf of some US TLA. Not travelling to any 5eyes country since then..
