There are no 2600 meetings in the techno capital of the world: Tokyo :(

[Dented-Halo]

I have been in tokyo doing security work now for the past 2 months and have yet to find any semblance of a hacker or underground community.

the fact that i cant read japanese characters probably doesnt help either
heh

but im disapointed. Was hoping to find somthing interesting. I bet no one has war drove tokyo either... im thinking it would probably take a good few solid months to cover the greater tokyo area (33 million people)

ahh well

maybe i should start one, an international one

Japanese Hackers

I have tons of emails for 'hackers' in japan but i think hacking isnt something that public there. Most of the ug sites went offline and for those that stuck around they turned into 'security' sites. Gov. stuff with hackers there is different than the US.

You can pick up a magazine called 'HackerJapan' while your out that way which is about 250-300 page mag for that area. You wont be able to read much of it, but there are tons of program reviews and you can read the screenshots :)

Google is your friend. Although I shall give you a hint in the right direction. Three groups exist holding the name of what you seek. They are in LA, OC, and Utah.

Is that directed to MY question about the U.S. Hacking Mag. ?

[Cyb3RSoldi3R]

Did it come after your post, if so yes. If I specifically point it someone else then no. Forum ettiquete, it's not just for goons, it's a way of life. Hmmm, I think I got a new quote.
