Even though the ticket prices for HOPE 26 are as low as possible, some people -- including many students -- say they can't afford the price. Other people have offered to donate a ticket for those who can't afford to buy one.

If you want to donate an admission to HOPE 26, go to [https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope-26?variant=42147982737463 our Scholarship page] and fill out the form. If you want to apply for a scholarship, just email

Students should send an email message from their school email address (if possible). Mention your current academic status (school, year, and program) and write 50-200 words about why you are interested in attending HOPE 26. Non-students should send an email message briefly describing your situation and what benefits you anticipate from attending HOPE 26.

The '''HOPE Scholarship Program''' is a way that students and others who can't afford HOPE admission can attend for FREE thanks to the generosity of HOPE supporters. Here's how it works: 
If you want to donate an admission to HOPE 26, go to [https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope-26?variant=42147982737463 our Scholarship page] and fill out the form. If you want to apply for a scholarship, just email 
       scholarship AT hope DOT net 
Students should send an email message from their school email address (if possible). Mention your current academic status (school, year, and program) and write 50-200 words about why you are interested in attending HOPE 26. Non-students should send an email message briefly describing your situation and what benefits you anticipate from attending HOPE 26.

'''Hackers On Planet Earth''' (HOPE) is an annual event that happens each summer in New York City. 

'''HOPE 26''' will be a '''THREE DAY EVENT''', spanning from '''Friday, August 14th through Sunday, August 16th, 2026'''. 
The event is live and in-person, at the [https://www.hope.net/venue/ New Yorker Hotel] in Manhattan, New York City'''. 

The New Yorker Hotel has given HOPE participants a great deal on rooms, with facilities included. To take advantage of the HOPE 26 group price, and see more about the New Yorker Hotel, please see our [https://www.hope.net/venue/ Venue page].

HOPE 26 will include scheduled talks, panels, workshops, keynotes, geeky vendors, food, art, concerts, performances, and much more!

As with all HOPE conferences, you can watch all of the talks for free online, live-streamed. They will also all be recorded and available online after the conference!

== NOTE: THIS WIKI IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. ==

All in-person attendees also get access to the full virtual program. This includes the online chat, and the ability to watch livestreams of all talks.

== HOPE Scholarship Program ==
Even though the ticket prices for HOPE 26 are as low as possible, some people -- including many students -- say they can't afford the price. Other people have offered to donate a ticket for those who can't afford to buy one. 
The '''HOPE Scholarship Program''' is a way that students and others who can't afford HOPE admission can attend for FREE thanks to the generosity of HOPE supporters. Here's how it works: 
If you want to donate an admission to HOPE 26, go to [https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope-26?variant=42147982737463 our Scholarship page] and fill out the form. If you want to apply for a scholarship, just email 
       scholarship AT hope DOT net 
Students should send an email message from their school email address (if possible). Mention your current academic status (school, year, and program) and write 50-200 words about why you are interested in attending HOPE 26. Non-students should send an email message briefly describing your situation and what benefits you anticipate from attending HOPE 26.

'''Hackers On Planet Earth''' (HOPE) is an annual event that happens each summer in New York City. 

'''HOPE 26''' will be a '''THREE DAY EVENT''', spanning from '''Friday, August 14th through Sunday, August 16th, 2026'''. 
The event is live and in-person, at the New Yorker Hotel in Manhattan, New York City'''. 

The New Yorker Hotel has given HOPE participants a great deal on rooms, with facilities included. To take advantage of the HOPE 26 group price, and see more about the New Yorker Hotel, please see our [https://www.hope.net/venue/ Venue page].

HOPE 26 will include scheduled talks, panels, workshops, keynotes, geeky vendors, food, art, concerts, performances, and much more!

As with all HOPE conferences, you can watch all of the talks for free online, live-streamed. They will also all be recorded and available online after the conference!

== NOTE: THIS WIKI IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. ==

Not all info is yet current for HOPE 26, for 2026. 

== Tickets for HOPE 26 ==

You can purchase '''in-person tickets''' [https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope-26?variant=42147982737463 here].

All in-person attendees also get access to the full virtual program. This includes the online chat, and the ability to watch livestreams of all talks.

== HOPE Scholarship Program ==
Even though the ticket prices for HOPE 26 are as low as possible, some people -- including many students -- say they can't afford the price. Other people have offered to donate a ticket for those who can't afford to buy one. 
The '''HOPE Scholarship Program''' is a way that students and others who can't afford HOPE admission can attend for FREE thanks to the generosity of HOPE supporters. Here's how it works: 
If you want to donate an admission to HOPE 26, go to 
[https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope-26?variant=42147982737463 our Scholarship page] 
and fill out the form. If you want to apply for a scholarship, just email 
       scholarship AT hope DOT net 
Students should send an email message from their school email address (if possible). Mention your current academic status (school, year, and program) and write 50-200 words about why you are interested in attending HOPE 26. Non-students should send an email message briefly describing your situation and what benefits you anticipate from attending HOPE 26.

== How to Join Matrix ==

== Livestream Information ==
During the event, the 2 main talk tracks will be live-streamed

[[Matrix How-To|Click here]] to join the online Matrix chat. You will need the token from your ticket. Tickets are sent a few days before HOPE begins. If you have a Matrix login from a previous HOPE event, it should still work for Matrix.

HOPE 26 will likely sell out before the event. If you have a ticket to give away or trade, or if you want a ticket for HOPE 26, then you can try using our 
        [[Ticket_Exchange_HOPE_26|Ticket Exchange wiki page]].

'''Hackers On Planet Earth''' (HOPE) is an annual event that happens each summer in New York City. 

'''HOPE_16''' is a '''THREE DAY EVENT''', spanning from '''Friday, August 15th through Sunday, August 17th, 2025'''. 
The event is live and in-person, at '''St. John's University, in Queens, New York City'''. 

HOPE_16 will include scheduled talks, panels, workshops, keynotes, geeky vendors, food, art, concerts, performances, and much more!

As with all HOPE conferences, you can watch all of the talks for free online, live-streamed. They will also all be recorded and available online after the conference!

== Tickets for HOPE_16 ==
We still have tickets available for HOPE_16. 
You can purchase '''in-person tickets''' [https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope_16 here]. 
You also can purchase in-person at the HOPE_16 Registration Desk in the Marillac Building on the St. John's University Campus. Tickets are available at the door starting on the first day of HOPE_16 on August 15th.

== Virtual Attendance ==
You can attend HOPE_16 virtually! 
You can buy your '''Virtual Attendee ticket''' [https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope_16-virtual-attendee here]. 
All in-person attendees also get access to the full virtual program. This includes the online chat, and the ability to watch livestreams of all talks.

== HOPE Scholarship Program ==
Even though the tickets for HOPE are as low as possible, some people -- including many students -- say they can't afford the price. Other people have offered to donate a ticket for those who can't afford to buy one. 
Announcing the '''HOPE Scholarship''' -- a way that students and others who can't afford HOPE admission can attend for FREE thanks to the generosity of HOPE supporters. Here's how it works: 
If you want to donate an admission to HOPE, just go to 
[https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope_16-student-scholarship our Scholarship page] 
and fill out the form. If you want to apply for a scholarship, just email 
       scholarship AT hope DOT net 
Students should send an email message from their school email address (if possible). Mention your current academic status (school, year, and program) and write 50-200 words about why you are interested in attending HOPE_16. Non-students should send an email message briefly describing your situation and what benefits you anticipate from attending HOPE.

== Livestream Information ==
During the event, the 3 main talk tracks will be live-streamed

[[Matrix How-To|Click here]] to join the online Matrix chat. You will need the token from your ticket. Tickets are sent a few days before HOPE begins. If you have a Matrix login from a previous HOPE event, it should still work for Matrix.

== Ticket Exchange ==
If you have a ticket to give away or trade, or if you want a ticket for HOPE_16, then you can try using our 
        [[Ticket_Exchange_HOPE_16|Ticket Exchange wiki page]].

== HOPE_16 Schedule App ==
We again have a HOPE_16 Program app, which is a privacy-friendly conference schedule app with strong offline capabilities. It runs on all Android devices. 
 
You can download the HOPE_16 Program app from: 
* [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.metadude.android.hope.schedule Google Play]

Badge, badge, badge! Bring your badges old and new to the HOPE_16 Badge Village. This mystical space will serve as a gathering spot for folks to work on their HOPE XV badge - or badges from any hacker con. Feel free to showcase the badge hacking you have implemented on your once basic builds and share your expertise with the group. From Human to Eldritch Master, come one, come all! Dust off ye ole badge that’s been waiting patiently to have all systems go since it can’t remember when. 
 
If you are the lucky owner of last year’s HOPE badge and haven’t yet begun the hacking process, the Badge Team has some recommendations to speed your ascension! If you want to develop in the way that the HOPE badge producers do, please install ESP-IDF for the ESP32-C3 and read “Get Started ESP-IDF” beforehand. And don’t forget to bring your computer and a USB-C cable that is capable of data transfer! 
 
Sadly, while there will not be a new production of the improved HOPE badge in time for the con to be shared with HOPE_16 attendees, it is anticipated some folks will be returning with their hackable HOPE XV badges. Much development work has occurred since last summer, and the Badge Team is looking for fresh minds to continue the effort. So bring it and get to hacking - because, as they say, it takes a village!

This makes cryptography an inherently political tool, and it confers on the field an intrinsically moral dimension. The Snowden revelations motivate a reassessment of the political and moral positioning of cryptography. ... I call for a community-wide effort to develop more effective means to resist mass surveillance.

Signal really shines at what it does, and I don’t see a reason for us to stop using it. But I’ve noticed that the centralized nature of Signal can be a bit limiting for us at times, so I think we should all take a closer look at Delta Chat [1] and experiment with it."

=== [[Anarchist_Hacker_Village|Anarchist Village]] ===
A space for anarchists, abolitionists, anti-authoritarians, other like-minded folks, and friendly faces to meet and socialize - where hacking and technology are tools for total liberation. There will be freely available swag like zines and stickers, and possibly more.
 
 
=== [[Badge_Village|Badge Village]] ===
Badge, badge, badge! Bring your badges old and new to the HOPE_16 Badge Village. This mystical space will serve as a gathering spot for folks to work on their HOPE XV badge - or badges from any hacker con. Feel free to showcase the badge hacking you have implemented on your once basic builds and share your expertise with the group. From Human to Eldritch Master, come one, come all! Dust off ye ole badge that’s been waiting patiently to have all systems go since it can’t remember when. 
 
If you are the lucky owner of last year’s HOPE badge and haven’t yet begun the hacking process, the Badge Team has some recommendations to speed your ascension! If you want to develop in the way that the HOPE badge producers do, please install ESP-IDF for the ESP32-C3 and read “Get Started ESP-IDF” beforehand. And don’t forget to bring your computer and a USB-C cable that is capable of data transfer! 
 
Sadly, while there will not be a new production of the improved HOPE badge in time for the con to be shared with HOPE_16 attendees, it is anticipated some folks will be returning with their hackable HOPE XV badges. Much development work has occurred since last summer, and the Badge Team is looking for fresh minds to continue the effort. So bring it and get to hacking - because, as they say, it takes a village!

Get Your Amateur (Ham) Radio License in a Single Day Workshop

2025-07-24T00:52:12Z

Maltman23: /* Get Your Amateur (Ham) Radio License in a Single Day */

= Get Your Amateur (Ham) Radio License in a Single Day =

== Abstract ==
This workshop will teach attendees what they need to know to pass the Technician class amateur radio license exam and get started in amateur radio. It includes six hours of instruction, with the exam administered immediately after the workshop. 

It is sometimes said that radio amateurs were the original hackers, cobbling together transmitters and receivers from odds, ends, and discarded electronics. Radio amateurs continue this tradition today, and in addition to building their own gear, they’re hacking on digital communications systems, including both hardware and software. Amateur radio is a great hobby for electronics enthusiasts and, increasingly, for hardware and software hackers. 

Participants will increase their chances of passing the test if they download the study guide from www.kb6nu.com/study-guides/ and familiarize themselves with the material before coming to the workshop. The text for this workshop is Dan’s No Nonsense Technician Class License Study Guide. The PDF version of the study guide is available for free at the above page. EPUB and print versions are also available for a small charge.

== Abstract ==

It’s never been clearer that we need to hold our communications technology at arm’s length. The rise of authoritarianism, the fall of due process, and the ubiquity of data sniffing mechanisms poses a threat to anyone and everyone, even if they have “nothing to hide.” In such an environment, taking steps to secure your communications and digital activity is basic self-defense. But the conventional advice - “use a VPN” - isn’t gonna cut it. Especially if you are building a community of any sort that needs to share information, you require a more self-managed networking solution. That’s where Wireguard comes in. Wireguard, a newer VPN technology, allows the creation of point-to-point VPNs that are wholly owned by the network participants. When used correctly, Wireguard networks make traffic between trusted hosts unobservable to prying eyes. This workshop will explore three “recipes” for Wireguard networking to fit various threat models. Wireguard basic concepts will be reviewed, you’ll learn how to configure it quickly for desktop and mobile devices, and you’ll find out when to apply each Wireguard recipe. Each network type will be created by the participants! This workshop takes no shortcuts. Wireguard and a minimum of additional tools will be used to get networks set up, since each additional dependency adds to the risk profile. Attendees will leave with an understanding of Wireguard networks, and be prepared to create one for themselves and their communities.

== Abstract ==

This workshop is a hands-on exercise in building a good security program. The presenters have built security programs from scratch at multiple companies and have found that, while the companies can vary, the fundamentals remain roughly the same. The goal here is to bridge the gap between common infosec vendor jargon and practical security engineering work. There’s no shortage of acronyms being invented every week in the realm of security engineering. Instead of wading through these buzzwords that might not even be around by the end of the year, this workshop will dig into the principles that make for a good security program. These principles will then be applied with practical hands-on exercises where you’ll use free and open source security tools to build continuous security automation and alerting similar to ones that have been built when starting new security programs.
