FBI will have to pay to enter Defcon 2002

Defcon 2002 delegates will have to stump up $75 in cash to enter the occasion, which was somewhat spoiled last year when FBI suits, at the behest of Adobe, arrested Dmitry Sklyarov under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

The occasion, which is held in Eva Glass' hometown, Las Vegas, appears to be getting a tad respectable, however.

Wired says that talks this year include the effective reporting of Achilles' Heels in Microsoft software, how to use body language to spot people who have evil intentions, and the implications of corporate spying.
