    TOORCON 2003 LINEUP FINALIZED
    
    We are proud to announce the finalized lineup for ToorCon this year. With a
    total of 29 talks on 2 tracks spanning 2 days, we have a really compelling
    lineup this year. This year we are going Back to Basics and introducing a
    Policy and Procedure track along side the standard Attack and Defense
    topics. This bridges the gap between the underground attack and defense
    technologies that are being developed and the business policies and laws
    that are in place to ensure your safety and security. This year will also
    have a special emphasis on wireless, cryptography, and steganography
    technologies that are being developed to protect your freedom and anonymity
    from the every increasing listening entities on the internet. More
    information is available at:
    
    http://www.toorcon.org
