[olug] hacking "contest" RE: Re: [olug] Security

[Brian Wiese]

The theme for this year's InfoTec (http://www.infotec.org) conference
(held annually at the end of April at the Holiday Inn) is going to be
security I believe.  One of my professors, Dr. Blaine Burnham, is quite
involved with this year's conference, and was hoping to have a 'hacker war
game' session such as those at Defcon (www.defcon.org).

I would like to get more involved with the SANSUG and their games also,
guess I better go sign up for their mailing list. :)
