[SPRYG - conference of Russian-speaking hackers]
/* On May 12, final preparations were underway. A.V.Komlin and Andrey
Sokolov (underlings) helped Arvi 'lift' the computers. Nobody
knew how far the person would travel the next day. May 13
Saturday. AtH asked to help and come at 8.30 [AtH only arrived
at 10.30] (personally, I arrived at 9.00). Arvie wasn't there until 10:30, which
raised many questions and interpretations. Fortunately A.V.Komlin and
Vladimir Martynov prepared for their performances and
looked pretty calm. People began to gather in the hall.
The first reproaches were heard towards Arvi: why so early and where
himself. On top of that, it was quite cold and there was walking outside.
snow :(
/* around 10.30 Arvi arrived and it all started. Instead of Martynov
Chepchugov came on stage and spoke briefly about hackers and
criminals. It turned out that for department 'R' a hacker is
a person who is fluent in computer skills
technologies, and aboutwhether he will be a criminal or not depends
directly possible interest of organs in it. He gave an example
shooting clubs, where after graduation you can go to work
killer, but not everyone does this.
Dmitry Chepchugov all the time referred to the fact that he was sorry to take away
time for the next speakers and bread (meaning speech
Tanker). But nevertheless he took away, although not without interest
public. It is worth noting that Chepchugov, despite the fact that he
the head of the 'R' department sometimes joked, and at the end of the day he even left his
Email and phone :)
After his speech, he was surrounded by a dense crowd of visitors,
who clarified legal issues (mostly everyone was interested in
what they can be arrested or fined for, and what remains
unpunished :)
/* approximately 11.00 After a short break, he entered the stage
Vladimir Martynov. He talked about problems and 'harsh' everyday life
provider (in the city of Balashov). The performance was reinforced
admin's stories from life. People began to crawl into the hall
television (apparently he just woke up, or maybe he was looking for a long time
place of deployment). After the end of the performance, as usual, there were
and questions. Martynov popularly explained the actions of the provider on
hacking, viruses, etc. In the background (at the end of the hall) are journalists
'tortured' Chepchugov.
/* approximately 12.00 A.V.Komlin a little hoarse and not having time
rebuild toMoscow time (he came from Vladivostok),
walked around in dark glasses, slightly retarded. He asked Arvi
move his show to the afternoon and Arvie left
instead of him. AtH talked about the Civil School of Hackers. About that
how fun it can be to engage in hacking as a game, and
about how anyone can open a center (school) in their city. B
this time A.V.Komlin was sitting behind the speakers at the computer and leading
live broadcast through the SPRING forum. After Arvi's performance
it was decided to break for lunch and everyone dispersed
in groups where something was discussed. Journalists caught
participants and visitors to ask them questions. Not everyone wanted
glows in front of the camera :)
/* approximately 14.00 After lunch, everyone gathered in the hall again. Came out
A.V.Komlin began to talk about safety in a quiet voice
users on the Internet. He spoke quite quietly, so
Louder exclamations were heard, etc. and people pulled closer to
stage. Despite his quiet voice, Komlin showed his knowledge in
field of Internet technologies. During the report he smoothly
switched to browser bugs and security topic
users. His report was one of the most informative and
interesting on this day. After the report, Komlin answered questions
spectators and press.
/* approximately 15.00 The underlings group appeared on stage in the form ofSokolov Andrey. He was a little worried because he was preparing for
performance at night, due to the fact that Medvedovsky refused
participation the day before the SPRING (Medvedovsky behaved badly not
only in this, but also when, as a boy, I tried something
prove it on the forum and in the mailing list). Honestly speaking
underlings prepared a pretty good performance with plenty of
demonstrations of diagrams on the board. Towards the end Sokolov to the rescue
A.V.Komlin came. The principles of D.O.S. were reviewed. - attacks and
several realistically possible attacks. Burst out from the hall onto the stage
VadEL and painted three more D.O.S. attacks before our eyes a little
amazed Chepchugov :) The only pity was that
that Chemist couldn’t break into the scene (but he talked about
D.O.S. attacks on the third day of the conference).
/* approximately 16.30 Igor Dorenkov (Tank Man) appeared on stage. He
began to give a lecture (there is no other way to call it :) Of course he
loaded with professional terms and phrases (although he himself
he said for a while that he probably shouldn’t do this). People
began to whine, and the Tankman answered their questions from the seats - after
speeches. People started counting flies (this is in such and such frost :)
To everyone's relief, Dorenkov was gently pushed off the stage. And on
Chepchugov appeared on the stage. The fact is that in the morning, when Chepchugov
performed for the first time, there were much fewer people,so head
department 'R' decided to repeat what was said earlier, albeit in different ways
words. Chepchugov raised the public's interest and a number of
questions. He answered them, simultaneously explaining the positions of his
department. In the end, he even dictated his phone number and left
your personal email.
/* approximately 18.00 Arvi announced a press conference, but a big one
Some of the press and television have already left. Therefore several
journalists were asked several questions - like why is it all
was done and why so early :) And everyone began to disperse.
second day SPRING-2k
/* May 14 Sunday Arvi said 13 that he would be waiting for everyone at
next day by 10.00. History repeated itself :( Arvi arrived
only at 11. Until 10.45 there was no one except the press and visitors.
Upon arrival, Arvie announced that Chris Kaspersky was ill and could not
come (I could at least write about it on the forum so that people don’t
got up so early and didn’t trudge through the cold!).
/* 11.30 (give or take one minute :) AtH asked people to leave, not
paid for the EXPERT level and began his report. Although he
announced his speech for teachers who want to open
their schools or get acquainted with educational methods, but it
the performance was interesting and everyone present (everyone
in his own way :) Arvy used the TV to
demonstrate how you can turn a boring story about
zeroesand singles, showing a film by Laura Anderson. In general everything
it was quite interesting and formal (AtH was wearing a jacket). Then
there was a lunch break. The most constant thing that was on schedule was
lunch break :)
/* approximately 14.00 Manwe took his computer out of his bag (not
some kind of laptop, but slim). And he started with the question - who can
write a rotating cube and how long will it take? After listening
exclamations from the seats, he demonstrated a rotating cube, and when
showed how much demka weighs, groans of admiration were heard.
Manwe gave an excursion into the history of demos and intros. Pointed to the most
significant milestones and showed demos reflecting the corresponding layer.
There were a lot of people - a full auditorium. It is worth noting that
the demo scene was very adequately presented and outlined, and for
everyone who wanted the computer was moved downstairs, where the show continued
demo (I stayed at the EXPERT conference, and therefore cannot
tell what exactly happened below). It was a mistake like
It turned out later, because people were unable to
see all performances :( The organizers promised not to
repeat such mistakes at the next JUMP.
/* around 14.40 Dmitry Leonov waited until the vicissitudes subsided
after demonstrating the demos and leaning on the chair
talk about CGI applications. He is also very detailed
settled on wrapping banners andcounters. Then he mentioned
about his server, which he asked to be treated like a big one
home page
and nothing more. After that, as usual, there were a lot of questions and
a bunch of (less) answers. After this A.V.Komlin solemnly
handed over the password to the spryg@mail.ru mailbox that was recaptured at night
organizers At night, together with VadEL, they looked at the logs and
returned the box. THANK YOU to them for this! (albeit a box, for purposes of
security, did not continue to be used by us). What
What happened downstairs in the hall, I can’t say for sure, because...
I repeat - I couldn’t break apart and be both here and here at once. But
according to rumors, after all, Dmitry Lazarev conducted holy wars between
Windows users and UNIX enthusiasts.
third day SPRIG-2k
/* May 15th is Monday. Arvi with enviable consistency again
late :(he expressed bewilderment why it is impossible to start without
him, although it’s a no brainer that it’s the organizers who should
organize, not the people themselves.) /* approximately 11.00 VadEL
solemnly presented the distribution kit of the new version of BlackCat to Arvi
(the distribution was on two blanks and will appear in the boxes only
in the summer!). He said that he was giving this distribution to SPRYG and dl.
A bunch of people gathered around VadEL and began to discuss
UNIX features.
/* approximately 11.10 AtH read out an address from the creators in absentia
DonaldDicka who don'twere able to come to SPRING.
/* approximately 11.20 Chemist came to the board and began to talk about
rumors (such as listening and bearing of GSM devices, without the knowledge
their owners). Then he moved on to the topic of bugs and protection from them.
(the only safe place, in Chemista’s opinion, where it’s more difficult
All you have to do is detect a conversation and put a bug - this is the subway). On my
I think his report was one of the most interesting. Went to the board
restless VadEL (strange that he didn’t register
participant :) and added a couple of
words And then he talked about home protection: iron doors and
castles Very informative!
13.00 - lunch break as always
/* 14.00 Chemist continued his report with a description of D.O.S. attacks and
protection from them. If only he could get on stage the first time
day, then the overview of D.O.S. attacks would be the most complete.
/* approximately 16.00 Vladimir Martynov came to the board. In the hands of
it had a large listing (5 sheets) with the I love you virus. And
more for the press than for others, he spoke about the principle
the effects of the virus and how to protect yourself from it. Besides the answers
to questions, Martynov also gave a couple of recommendations on what to do,
when you break through the provider's protection. It was quite entertaining
especially from his lips (he himself represented the provider :)
/* approximately 16.20 Alexey Chivilikhin went to the board and began
talk about GNU. Thisit was very interesting to listen, because... not
everyone knew the history of the emergence of Unix and the licenses distributed
with them. Then he switched to Linux and talked about writing
Software for it. Reviewed the software and answered questions.
/* approximately 17.40 Yaroslav Vasilievich came on stage :))) He
began with a very lengthy digression about the times when he
saw punch cards (about his hacker friend who hung
computers), and slowly crawled onto Ilya Vladimirovich (AtH),
whom he accused of organizational inaction and negligence
(although I myself got confused with badges for the EXPERT level).
/* approximately 18.00 Discussion of the pros and cons of this SPRING,
decision that SPRING should be carried out every year (taking into account all
minuses) what the conference itself can be considered
finished.
P.S. Approximately 300 people attended the conference. Many
received useful information and made acquaintances and contacts.
The interest of the event remained approximately at the same level -
the large number of people on the first day was compensated
quality of reports in the next two days. How much beer was drunk?
after the conference no one counted :)
