Abstract
We derive and solve the black hole attractor conditions of N=8 supergravity by finding the critical points of the corresponding black hole potential. This is achieved by a simple generalization of the special geometry symplectic structure to all extended supergravities with N>2. There are two classes of solutions for regular black holes, one for 1/8 BPS ones and one for the non-BPS. We discuss the solutions of the moduli at the horizon for BPS attractors using N=2 language. An interpretation of some of these results in N=2, STU black hole context helps to clarify the general features of the black hole attractors.
