Kevin Mitnick is scheduled to be at the conference but can not appear: while on holiday in Colombia, a disease prevents a timely return to the United States. Hope Number Six has a 100-megabit internet connection; conference organizers claimed it was the fastest Internet connection to date at any US hacking conference. The theme of this event is based on number six and The Prisoner (titles shared by titular "prisoner,"). Important occurrences:
- Steve Rambam , a private investigator heading to Pallorium, Inc., an online investigation service, is scheduled to lead a panel discussion entitled "Dead Privacy... Get More Than This." A few minutes before the start of the panel, Rambam was arrested by the FBI alleging that he broke the law with an ongoing case. The federal prosecutor filed a lawsuit against Albert Santoro, a former Brooklyn assistant, a New York district attorney indicted in January 2003 for some money. -the whole. The allegations were eventually canceled and the talks were later held in November 2006, shortly after the conference.
- Jello Biafra started his conversation with reference to Steve Rambam's arrest, noting the convention was more "monstrous" than usual. He then announces a "special message" to "any Federal agents that may exist in the audience", and makes an appointment at the convention.
The Last HOPE
The "Last HOPE" took place July 18-20, 2008 at Hotel Pennsylvania. The change from previous years is the use of internet forums to facilitate community participation in event planning.
The name of the conference refers to the expectation that this will be H.O.P.E. conference due to the scheduled demolition of the premises, Hotel Pennsylvania. The Save Hotel Pennsylvania Foundation was created to make sure that the building is not destroyed by its new owner, Vornado Realty Trust. The "HOPE Next" is scheduled for Summer 2010. At the closing ceremony it was revealed that the use of the word "last" can also refer to previous events, or that have ended (referring to The Last HOPE itself).
Steven Levy gave a keynote address. Kevin Mitnick, Steve Rambam, Jello Biafra, and Adam Savage from MythBusters are the keynote speakers. Description and audio of the talk can be found at thelasthope.org
The Next HOPE
The next HOPE Convention, "The Next HOPE", takes place from 16-18 July 2010. The Next HOPE is held at the Pennsylvania Hotel, as Vornado's plans to destroy the hotel are being postponed.
HOPE Number Nine
HOPE Number Nine takes place July 13-15, 2012 at Hotel Pennsylvania in Manhattan.
Keynote Presentation for HOPE Number Nine was given by The Yes Men (with Andy Bichelbaum as main speaker and Vermin Supreme also participating) and NSA William Binney whistleblower. Chris Kubecka, the main speaker of the presentation on Internet censorship presented the letter stopping and quitting in an attempt to censor presentation by Unisys and threatened with termination for a presentation titled "The Internet is for Porn! How High Heels and Nets Have Encouraged Internet Innovation and Information Security". Unisys demands all information regarding presentations removed from the internet, but the Streisand effect occurs, with censorship attempts posted on thousands of websites instead. First for the conference, a ghost speaker @ JK47theweapon should deliver most of the presentations due to legal threats against Kubecka. Before starting, MC invited "any hangers or associates of the Baker & McKenzie law firm" to speak with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Baker & amp; McKenzie is a Dutch Unisys law firm that threatens to terminate its employees with a letter to give a presentation on internet censorship.
HOPE X
HOPE X takes place from 18-20 July 2014 at Hotel Pennsylvania. The keynote speakers were Daniel Ellsberg and Edward Snowden; also featured are former NSA officials and whistleblowers Thomas Drake. The theme of the conference is "difference of opinion", and peluitan is a good topic of conversation. But the conference also featured critical discussions about the state of hackdom, for example Johannes Grenzfurthner of monochrome talks about martyrdom martyrdom issues in the hacker scene and the creation of a hacker cyber figure (such as Snowden, Appelbaum or Assange) by members of the public or media that is not reflective.
Important changes include large increases in available bandwidth. Previous conferences have 50 Mbit connections; HOPE X has a 10 Gbit fiber-optic connection provided by Hurricane Electric. This geometric increase in bandwidth allows live streaming of all conference talks in real time. The Ellsberg/Snowden keynote is visible in more than 120 countries. This is also the first year all conferencing areas are fully connected to the conference network, albeit with workshop floors with slightly limited connectivity (1 Gbit connection, compared to 10 Gbit backbone from other conference rooms). Five different wireless networks were given to conference participants. The hammocks on the mezzanine level, which provides a place for some participants to sleep if they can not get a place to do it, are replaced by inflatable furniture in a dedicated "Chill Space" area. The Mezzanine Room is also explicitly dedicated to attend meetings in village form, similar to meetings at the Chaos Communications Congress and villages in hacker camps, specifically "Village Zone A" (mainly solder and electronic workshops), "Village Zone B" "Village Lockpickers", and "Noisy Square". Tracks of workshops published in schedules and conferences take up almost all available hotel meeting rooms.
HOPE XI
HOPE XI (The Eleventh HOPE) takes place from 22-24 July 2016 at Hotel Pennsylvania. Cory Doctorow is the keynote speaker. Like the last time, HOPE XI provided Internet transit by Hurricane Electric on 111 Eighth Avenue via a leased fiber connection from RCN Corporation. The Aruba Network is sponsoring 50 wireless access points used to provide 3 wireless networks for participants, two of which are secured with WPA or PSK, other networks for NOCs, and one for the press and speakers.
Network connectivity is fully reserved for all areas, which began to be used during the conference because many of the talks were filled with capacity and participants watched the streams on their own devices or in the overflow area and specified view.
HOPE Circle (HOPE 12)
On July 4, 2017, the HOPE.net website was updated to announce the date for the 12th HOPE conference: July 20-22, 2018.
