The Pentagon s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) used a conference to call on hackers and other visionaries to help save the Internet. The conference was billed as a frank discussion with the cyber community. It brought together roughly 700 leaders from the armed services, as well as the private sector contractors and hackers for hire. Congress, rather than DARPA, would eventually govern and oversee the use of any cyber capabilities discovered in the course of their research, the agency said.
