[pchelpers] News:German hacker denied entry into U.S. for Black Hat training

July 29th, 2007

Thomas Dullien, a prominent security researcher who has been a fixture
at the annual Black Hat security conference, has been denied entry into
the U.S. to attend and conduct training at this year’s confab.

Dullien (left), a German reverse engineering whiz known in hacker
circles as “Halvar Flake,” said he was blocked from entering the U.S.
after customs officials found printed “training materials” in his
suitcase.

The CEO and head of research at Sabre Security said the denial appeared
to be linked to his use of the visa waiver program to present Black Hat
training as a private citizen instead of as a representative of a
company.
