SecTor was created by founders of
TASK,
North America's largest and most
successful IT Security Usergroup.
After many years of attending IT
Security events in the U.S.A. and
being disappointed that no similar
event existed in central Canada, the
decision was made to fill the void.
In a non-threatening and
productive way, SecTor sheds light
on the underground threats and
mischief that threaten corporate and
personal IT systems. Through
identifying,
discussing, dissecting and debating
these digital threats, the
strongest defences can be mounted.
Black Arts Defined
Hacker Slang - black
art
[common] A collection of arcane,
unpublished, and (by implication)
mostly ad-hoc techniques developed
for a particular application or
systems area (compare black magic).... The huge proliferation of
formal and informal channels for
spreading around new
computer-related technologies during
the last twenty years has made both
the term black art and what it
describes less common than formerly.
See also voodoo programming. (Reference: http://www.answers.com/topic/black-art)
