Registration for HITBSecConf2007 - Malaysia is now open! We have moved our conference to the bigger and better Hilton KL Sentral; Kuala Lumpur’s newest 5-star hotel centrally located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur and a mere 28 minutes from the airport via the KLIA Express.

We’re expecting over 800 attendees to join us from around the world for this year’s Malaysian leg and we promise they will not be disappointed! HITBSecConf2007 - Malaysia will be the largest network security event in Asia with 4 keynote speakers and over 40 of the world’s leading researchers and security experts under one roof. Some of the highlights:

7 Tracks of Hands-On Technical Trainings

Day 1 Keynote Speakers: Lance Spitzner and Mikko Hypponen
Day 2 Keynote Speakers: Mark ‘Phiber Optik’ Abene and Emmanuel Goldstein

HITB Cinema: As part of our yearly charity initiative, we are organizing screenings of Freedom Downtime and Urchin. Freedom Downtime, directed and produced by Emmanuel Goldstein is the story of computer hacker Kevin Mitnick, imprisoned without bail for nearly five years while Urchin is an independent production written and directed by John Harlacher and stars Mark Abene as ‘The Inside Man’ and Emmanuel Goldstein as ‘The Outside Man’. Shot illegally in the subways, sewers, and streets of New York City “Urchin” is a prime example of guerrilla cinema made possible by new technology. This will be the first time in Asia Pacific that these movies are being shown to the public and all proceeds from these screenings will go to the Malaysian National Cancer Council - MAKNA.

Capture The Flag: With cash prizes worth USD6,000 this years’ Capture The Flag game has already received confirmation of participation from Padocon from Korea (last year’s champions), NDMTeam from Bulgaria, Army Strong comprising members of the US Army and Zone-H from Italy.

Zone-H/HITB Hacking Challenge: Zone-H in colaboration with the Hack in The Box crew will organize a 6-level web-based hackgame in which individual participants will be challenged to try to beat the hackgame in the shortest possible time. Based on the original game developed by Zone-H in 2005, there will be no need to bring your own exploits or your own laptop.

Lock Picking Village (LPV): Deviant Olam, Eric Michaud and Q who are members from the The Open Organization of Lockpickers (TOOOL USA) will be running a Lock Picking Village at the conference in which attendees will be invited to try their hands at bumping and other physical security bypass methods! If you think your home locks are secure, you’re more than welcome to bring them along and see for yourself how easily they can be bypassed.

BZFlag Competition: Organized by members of the US Army, attendees to HITBSecConf2007 will be able to blow off some steam in a BZFlag arena. BZFlag is an online multiplayer cross-platform open source 3D tank battle!
