Hello, I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who attended my OSDEM presentation in Brussels last week. I think it (and the rest of the conference) went well. Some of you in North America complained that Europe is an inconvenient and expensive destination for a 2-day conference. So I have also agreed to speak at CanSecWest in beautiful Vancouver, B.C. on March 28-30. I am currently planning to discuss "Packet Reconnaissance Techniques" and to release a special version of Nmap at the conference which implements some of the advanced techniques. Of course, this is subject to change if I think of something even cooler to talk about :). For more information on the conference, including the speaker list, see http://www.dursec.com/ . Since I was so tardy in sending out this invitation, I convinced Dragos ( the organizer ) to honor the early (January) registration price until Feb 9 if you mention nmap-hackers when you register.

There will be some Birds of a Feather sessions held at 6:30 on Thursday - these will be announced at the conference. Venue: The venue will be the Pacific Palisades Hotel Conference Center on Robson Street. The hotel web site can be found at www.pacificpallisadeshotel.com We have negotiated discounted rates for the CanSecWest conference with the hotel at $150/night regular, and $200/night suite for attendees. I'm told that some (but not all) suites now feature in room high speed network access. Attendees need to tell the reservations desk they are attending the CanSecWest conference and that they should get the block discount rate when they make their reservation. The conference this year will be held in the hotel itself in their meeting facility, and will feature a catering room, as well as a a vendor display area and a place to set up your computer to check e-mail. There will be a wireless 802.11 network and a "Capture The Flag" contest over the wireless net, on-going throughout the presentations. There will be a display in the speaker room during the talks with the CTF target web page where the current "owner" of the CTF target server will be able to put up their advert, logo, pithy quote, or whatever. If you are bringing a PC with a wireless card, please ensure your firewalls are in good working order, as we assume no liability for what kind of traffic may be seen. (:-) This year, we will have a permanent coffee stand (after feedback from last year's sessions). Seating is limited and the venue is slightly smaller than last year so please book early to ensure a spot. How to register: In the month of January, you may register by sending PGP encrypted e-mail to dr () dursec com (gpg/pgp key on file at wwwkeys.pgp.net or here) with the following information: Your name Your company Your company address Visa card number/expiry Visa Billing Name and Address Your contact phone number. Your preferred e-mail address for conference mailings. (I'm sorry we still accept only VISA at this time and Mastercard or AmEx is not an option. We also accept pre-payment by couriered cheque or wire transfer of USD or CAD equivalents. Registrations are reserved upon receipt of cheque - please email dr () kyx net for further details about this payment method.) Alternatively if for some reason you cannot use encrypted e-mail, you can phone Dragos Ruiu at +1 (604) 722-3993 with the above information and he will process the VISA transaction manually. Please try to phone between 10:00AM-8:00PM PST, but an occasional odd hour phonecall from weird timezones will be tolerated if it absolutely cannot be avoided. If you prefer, we can also reserve a hotel room on your credit card, if you specify dates. (We have been told that our block booking will have priority for the rooms with networking). In January the registration fee will be: USD$895 - for past attendees. USD$980 - for all others up until Jan 31. In February, an on-line booking system will be up at https://dursec.com and the registration fees for all will be USD$1120. In March, the registration fee will be USD$1350. Due to the slightly smaller venue we expect that registrations at the door will be extremely limited and potentially unavailable, at a cost of USD$1595. Vendor sponsorships are available at USD$2500, which as well as sponsoring a display table for the vendor also gives the vendor up to five attendee registrations at USD$580. The cut-off date for vendor sponsorships is March 9. Registration fees include catered lunches and coffee breaks. Thanks for your continuing support, and I hope we'll have a conference that will surpass the positive experiences of last years conference. I'm eager to see and hear the fascinating papers planned, and this year, we will be bringing back the popular technical book(s) (title TBD) that will be given to attendees, as well as having another conference CD-ROM full of goodies and some previously unreleased tools and information. I'm looking forward to seeing you there.
