HackCon is a national cybersecurity security conference that was founded in 2005 by “The Network.”
The Network is comprised of individuals from Norway that possess a high degree of security knowledge in the areas of cyber and information security.
They wanted to develop practical cyber/information security courses and conferences that are also a social gathering place for people to come together and confront the problems of the future in cyber/information security, and they succeeded. The network had established positive working relationships with KINS (Association for Municipal Information Security) and Honeynor, and the three organizations agreed to collaborate to conduct HackCon # 1 on the 8th and 9th of February 2006.
