From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ShmooCon, founded in 2005, is an American hacker convention organized by The Shmoo Group, and held in the Washington DC area. It was created as an alternative to the Black Hat conference, but at a more affordable price. There are normally about 35 different talks and presentations, on a variety of subjects related to computer security and cyberculture. The ShmooCon organizers also help sponsor other similar events.
