There is now a hacking convention in Pakistan. The 1st Pak Con was announced on multiple SecurityFocus mailing lists (I subscribe to honeypots) today. They are currently calling for volunteers and papers for the event in Karachi, Pakistan on October 2nd & 3rd.

Pak Con is an exclusive hacking convention, the first initiative of its kind in the history of Pakistan IT scene. Pak Con is the brainchild of a group of capable security professionals who have employed their genius and aptitude to provide an overall extensive and comprehensive experience of information security in the form of a wide-ranging convention on information security.

There will be wireless internet at Pak Con, but only for the lucky people that pre-register. There will be a Capture the Flag contest (the wargame you dorks) for small hacking teams. The cost hasn’t been released yet but the email does point out that, “All charges are in Pak Rupees.”
