This was my first time at the Hacker Halted conference, and it was quite enjoyable. I loved the venue, and the talks were informative.
One major disappointment was that Howard Schmidt didn’t talk as planned due to travel issues. It’s not the conference’s fault, but I thought his talk would be the highlight of the event. The presentation I enjoyed the most was by Johnny Long on no tech hacking. I missed his talk at Black Hat last year, and finally I got the chance to see it. His presentation skills are excellent, and the talk was very interactive. Since the conference was ran by EC-Council, the group that runs the Certified Ethical Hacker program, and the conference was called Hacker Halted, I thought the audience would include more security professionals. Instead there were lots of middle managers, entry level IT security folks, and college students. But I still got to meet some interesting people, and have interesting conversations about information security. Thanks to Leonard Chin, and Hacker Halted for allowing us to cover the event.

Hi there! We will be launching Hacker Halted 2008 in July and the Hacker Halted 2008 will be held on November. Would you be interested to attend the conference again?
