}}The '''quadrennial Dutch hacker convention''' is a [[hacker convention]]. It reoccurs every four years at different locations around [[the Netherlands]]. It was first held in 1989. In the past, it was organized by [[Hack-Tic]] magazine, and currently it is organized by the IFCAT Foundation.<ref>{{cite web |title=IFCAT Foundation |url=https://ifcat.org/ |website=ifcat.org |access-date=26 June 2024}}</ref>

}}

On years where it is not held, two other similar events are held instead: [[Chaos Communication Camp]] in Germany (every 4 years), and [[Electromagnetic Field (festival)|Electromagnetic Field]] in the UK (every 2 years).

'''HAL2001''' was a Dutch [[hacker con]] held at the [[University of Twente]], [[Enschede]], [[Netherlands]] between August 10 to August 12, 2001. This site, which hosts one of Europe's major network operations centers, was unique in allowing the conference to have, at the time, the largest Internet uplink speeds of any conference: a fiber-optic connection in excess of 1 gigabit per second. The conference never fully utilized the bandwidth; maximum bandwidth use was approximately 200 &nbsp;Mbit/s.

The main political topic of the conference was the fight against the [[DMCA]] and similar anti-hacker legislation under way in Europe.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.securityfocus.com/news/234|title = Bugtraq}}</ref>
