 | | Hackers invaded one of the richest wireless territories on Earth, as SummerCon was held this year in Oakland, the section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., which is the home of Carnegie Mellon University, Pitt, and dozens of other schools. |
 | | Besides the Fed presence which is always hovering in the background at hacker conventions, there was the usual mix of newbies, some ancient hackers such as myself, current and former cybercops of one sort or another, and some who declined to give their names, with excellent reason. |
 | | The first evening of the Con was just for socializing, and most did that with a vengeance, seeking exotic beer distributors, looking for the best eatery, and at least one former hacker turned successful security consultant was working to organize a road trip to the best strip joints. |
