There are hacker conferences, and then there's ShmooCon. The annual East Coast convention was held during a major snowstorm in Washington, D.C., but that didn't stop researchers from sharing their latest exploits, hardware, and software inventions, and huddling over discussions about the latest security issues.If you've never been to a ShmooCon, or if the weather wrecked your plans to attend this time around, then here's a glimpse at what you missed -- everything from a new BlackBerry spyware tool demo, a hacking competition, a wireless "gun," and even a "ShmooDog" -- captured in this brief slide show.
