BLACK HAT BRIEFINGS CALL FOR PAPERS

Hello Firewall Wizards readers, I would like to announce Black Hat's 2004 
initial call for papers.  If you plan on submitting a paper, please read 
the full CFP which can be located 
at 
<http://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-04/bh-usa-04-cfp.html>http://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-04/bh-usa-04-cfp.html.

The Black Hat Briefings was created to fill the need for computer security 
professionals to better understand the security risks to information 
infrastructures and computer systems.

What makes Black Hat Briefings different? The speakers. We select the 
speakers that are doing unique research, writing the security tools, or 
finding the bugs. No vendor pitches. Just straight talk from people who are 
experts in their chosen field of study.

If you have original research, new tools, or a fresh perspective on an old 
problem, we encourage you to submit a presentation.  By presenting at the 
Black Hat  Briefings you have the opportunity to both influence your peers 
and to contribute to the advancement of the state of the art.  We are 
striving to create a high-end technical conference and any talk that helps 
reach this goal will be given extra attention.

Topics of discussion will include zero day attacks and 
defenses,  forensics, log analysis, physical security, privacy, anonymity, 
and application security.  New for 2004, the there will be a "Turbo Talks" 
track that will consist of 20 minute talks covering subjects that do not 
require a full length presentation slot. Topics can range widely, and there 
are no specific guidelines for what must be included.

Please do not wait to submit.  Presentations are selected and evaluated in 
the order received.
