That's so god damn interesting! Thanks a lot to Eric Schmiedl. Recently, I've begun to notice that every person who uses computer and Internet starts to be more cybersecurity erudite comparing how it was in the past. All this obvious security measures that people use now, back in the past were condiered irrational.
Quite a few. But that's part of the defcon experience- red team/blue team and everything between sharing their knowledge. He's not sharing anything that a professional (like a fed) wouldn't already be fully aware of. It's great for bringing in new crowds, intriguing the next generation.
I would love to hear a presentation on how to get into that white collar resort prison and the types of crimes that land you there/how to navigate your situation to present in a way that would put you there and not the pound me in the ass prison
Interesting. I was hanging out with a bunch of 'people of interest' a while back and was approached at work with a job offer by a person who stood out like a sore thumb. They offered me a traineeship in a foreign country, with certain activities related to my job (hospitality) and asked if I'd like to meet for a chat, to which I said yes, realising that all may not be as it seemed. And probably wasn't. We spent six hours chatting. The original offer changed thoroughly. I was taken to a second location; a very expensive apartment. I was asked all sorts of questions. A third party appeared. I was then told, via email, that my services would not be required, and no correspondence would be entered into. Interestingly, the person who approached me used their own name, and can be found online - the property they spoke about in another country can also be found. What's interesting is that that property, which they told me I would be living at for no less than three months, was adjacent to a well-kept-secret base, of sorts, which appeared just after WW2, and has been written about in fiction and non fiction, some of them very, VERY, well known. So, were they waiting for me to call them on their front? Or, did they decide I was not easily enough swayed? That I was too savvy to be used as a 'spy'. I'll probably never know. But I wish I could find out. The 'approacher's' initials - MV.
wish i had a bug in his microphone ... so i could A) hear what he's saying; B) open the speech in an audio editor and slow it down to a setting more intelligible than Mumbled Mountain Dew Monologue. good/cool info, but i suspect the book was better.
Wish I was in the audience. Since I was there and all. I went to Vegas just for Blackhat and DEFCON that year only to spend most of the time in my nice hotel room (not at the Rviera, god no, The Signature). It was over 100 degrees and I am not a morning/day person so I ended up skipping out of Blackhat entirely and only went to a portion of DEFCON. It would be supercool if they had these things all scheduled in the evening/night. Then I would be alert and awake, and all over it. Instead, I have to force myself to get up for conferences, and to goto bed super earlier just that I can.
fuckwad Really? How does not being a morning person make one a faggot. Its more than not being a morning person, multiple sleep disorders make it extremely difficult for me to be alart and awake in the AM. So its hard to get to lectures 9,10, even 11am. Particularly if you dont just have to run down stairs to see them. When you have to make your way to the otherside of the strip in 100-105degree heat, make your way to the actual lecture location, etc...all while barely able to keep your eyes open. Even if I got there in time for one, id probably end up microsleeping through it all anyway. It is much easier tho if your staying in the same hotel and dont have to bother with all that, you can just go down stairs and your there. So ya, it sucked, and it does suck. I miss the first lecture or two at conferences all the time. Hardly makes me a faggot. Your more than welcome to take my sleep disorders, just let me know how to transfer them
This is such a sad comment you go urself for something ur interested in mind you it's not even that ur job is telling u to show up and once there u choose not to go because it's too hot or u cudnt just get up early ? Smh
i didn't read any other opinions on this video. this has got to be the absolute worst defcon talk. none of it was current, relevant, or remotely useful, even in 2011. it added no value to any technical or social aspect of security, and it was a complete waste of my time.
I fell asleep on lock picking lawyer and woke up on this

What is this "RadioShack" you speak of?
Those Cambridge lads are Heros.

guess you didn't know that youtube has audio controls that allow you to slow this down to 0.75%
it gets quieter as the vid goes on!
Terrible audio and broken links? Yep, that's a defcon talk alright.
Who are the spooks ? 39:40
This is so dirty . Not only was I infiltrated but he robbed me and my kids on the way out
lots of trolls on this site so guessing this is worth watching...otherwise there wouldn't be so many negative comments in a team format...

Maybe my brain works differently than others but this just seems like common sense, either way good talk thanks uploader for the video
This dude sounds like Mark Zuckerburg
Basically a watered down recitation of 'The Art of Exploitation'. Speaker prob has 0 experience with any of this beyond academic research.
lol
Pretty sure he admits that right at the beginning of the talk.
dude you are drunk... I had to stop listening though the material is good

Too boring
Great speech, horrible speaker.
