The Hacker's Profiling Project (HPP)

This talk will detail the results learned from the first year of activity of the HPP research study, developped by Raoul Chiesa, a security researchers, and Dr. Stefania Ducci, a criminologic researcher at UNICRI (United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute, ONU). The research project includes the dissemination of questionnaires, the installation of targetted Honeynet systems and the cross-linked analysis of computer intrusions and IT attacks. You will discover how many myths about the hackers and the so-called "security underground world" have been often misunderstood, giving to this world kind of a "black vision", taking away the attention from the really important psicological and technical issues of a reality in continuos development.
