00:00.000 --> 00:09.460
This is dedicated to all the hackers and the crackers, to the hackers and the crackers.

00:09.760 --> 00:15.520
I see in binary, I speak source code, step on my toes, I'll post a million jpegs of you

00:15.520 --> 00:16.600
and a fag pwned.

00:16.720 --> 00:21.640
In your digital stance, getting firewalled ho, cause I'm riding the net in my six-fold.

00:21.900 --> 00:26.440
I was a dick with my 56, now with my cable I'm able to get that stable.

00:26.440 --> 00:32.460
On the out, my name is Ace and I'm a Leo. On the digital highway, my name is Neo and I'm a hero.

00:32.680 --> 00:38.360
In a flash, I'll screw you on burning Dreamcast. You need some ISO? Let me through my hard drive rifle.

00:38.700 --> 00:43.520
Our exchange you could never stifle. In a digital hug, you just caught the love bug.

00:43.840 --> 00:47.540
I bootlegged your CD, I caused a fight between Un and Jay-Z.

00:47.880 --> 00:52.100
Your CG, it's all gonna be free, whether we take it by force or we take it nicely.

00:52.220 --> 00:56.280
You feel that rattling your bones? When I tell you we just hacked out Jones.

00:56.440 --> 01:00.720
And NASDAQ leaves you flat on your back, cause I am he who loves to hack and crack.

01:00.960 --> 01:03.460
Cause I am he who loves to hack and crack.

01:03.960 --> 01:06.600
This is dedicated to the hackers and the craters.

01:07.060 --> 01:11.640
Serial codes, source codes, ISOs, RANS, SIFs, SIFs.

01:11.880 --> 01:14.200
This is dedicated to the hackers and the crack.

01:14.200 --> 01:21.600
Hello once again everyone to Binary Revolution Radio episode number 168.

01:21.980 --> 01:24.980
Coming to you on October 10th, 2006.

01:25.100 --> 01:27.220
10-10-2006.

01:27.800 --> 01:32.760
A couple days before, I believe, this Friday will be a Friday the 13th.

01:33.020 --> 01:35.380
Maybe? No? I'm not sure about that.

01:35.380 --> 01:39.440
But anyway, we will get on with this week's show.

01:39.580 --> 01:41.880
And we have a good returning guest this week.

01:42.240 --> 01:45.340
And not only a returning guest, a returning co-host on the show.

01:45.500 --> 01:50.000
But last week we announced one of our new DDP members, Verbal.

01:50.160 --> 01:54.200
And our second new DDP member, also coming in at the same time,

01:54.760 --> 01:57.540
is our good friend Savant, who is on the show with us tonight.

01:57.640 --> 01:58.300
Welcome, my friend.

01:58.920 --> 02:00.680
Hello. Hey, man. How's it going?

02:01.100 --> 02:02.800
Let's do the whole show in those voices.

02:03.120 --> 02:05.600
Hello! Welcome to the show!

02:07.180 --> 02:08.740
DDP Hack Radio!

02:09.540 --> 02:11.880
That would be the most annoying show ever.

02:12.540 --> 02:16.080
I'd probably have to kill myself within the first 20 minutes.

02:16.360 --> 02:18.860
Oh, no! You shouldn't do that!

02:19.480 --> 02:20.140
Wait a minute, I don't know where I am.

02:20.140 --> 02:20.280
Okay!

02:21.440 --> 02:23.200
That would be spiffy!

02:23.840 --> 02:24.460
Alright, anyway.

02:24.600 --> 02:26.380
I can hear the hate mail already.

02:26.720 --> 02:29.660
Oh, well, believe me, you better get used to hate mail in part of this.

02:29.660 --> 02:32.140
It comes with a gig, man. It comes with a gig.

02:35.200 --> 02:39.880
Anyway, so, yeah, let's do a little kind of our housekeeping up front here.

02:39.940 --> 02:41.340
Did you have anything you wanted to go over?

02:41.720 --> 02:44.460
I know I've got one little thing, but...

02:44.460 --> 02:46.500
Yeah, real quick, just wanted to say thanks.

02:46.580 --> 02:47.640
Glad to be a part of the team.

02:48.120 --> 02:51.500
And I've got a lot of ideas that I've been working on, but I'm pretty scatterbrained.

02:51.860 --> 02:53.820
So I'm going to have to fight down and just pick one.

02:53.820 --> 02:57.800
And I'd love to talk to Not Theory about what he's doing with the radio show and try and

02:57.800 --> 02:59.060
see if we can't streamline it a bit.

02:59.580 --> 03:04.400
But, you know, other than that, if we do our jobs correctly, then you guys should know

03:04.400 --> 03:05.780
that things are running smoother.

03:05.780 --> 03:09.080
Yeah, and actually, that can definitely be arranged.

03:09.400 --> 03:13.860
Not Theory and I have been trying to get together and work on some things.

03:14.020 --> 03:18.360
And as a matter of fact, I think that was him that just called my cell phone.

03:18.440 --> 03:19.300
We're just starting the show.

03:19.360 --> 03:22.440
And of course, the moment we start the show, my cell phone rings.

03:22.640 --> 03:23.980
So luckily it was on Vibrate.

03:24.060 --> 03:25.900
Nobody would know the difference except that I brought it up.

03:25.900 --> 03:29.520
But anyway, we'll get together with him.

03:30.100 --> 03:33.420
And he's got some things he wants to test on his box.

03:33.480 --> 03:36.220
And I know you've got some things on your box that we wanted to test.

03:36.340 --> 03:41.560
So we're going to be doing some cool things in the future as far as both of those items go.

03:42.940 --> 03:43.460
Let's see.

03:43.540 --> 03:45.320
What else did I want to talk about?

03:45.360 --> 03:48.240
Oh, I went through somehow this weekend.

03:48.300 --> 03:53.120
I don't know how, but I finally got a little bit of free time to work on updating the gallery.

03:53.120 --> 03:56.300
We switched gallery software packages a while back.

03:56.820 --> 04:04.740
I backed up all the images from the old folders and dumped them into a big gallery or big folder, for lack of a better word,

04:04.800 --> 04:06.720
in the new gallery software called Unsorted.

04:06.840 --> 04:09.200
And I just haven't had time to really go through them and clean them up yet.

04:09.380 --> 04:12.480
So I finally had time to do that this weekend.

04:12.680 --> 04:13.980
So I started on it.

04:14.960 --> 04:20.700
I went through – now here's the problem is all the comments and stuff like that from the old software packages

04:20.700 --> 04:25.120
because we went through a couple different ones that all had their little problems.

04:26.080 --> 04:30.040
So we lost all the comments and owners of the photos and stuff like that.

04:30.200 --> 04:33.100
So first thing, go through the gallery, browse through them.

04:33.120 --> 04:36.920
And if you see some of the pictures that are out there that are yours or you deserve credit on

04:36.920 --> 04:39.260
or you know who they are, please let me know.

04:39.420 --> 04:44.640
Post a comment under that picture so I know who it is because right now they're all uploaded as admin,

04:44.640 --> 04:48.840
as the owner, which is fine, but I'd like to give credit where credit is due, of course.

04:49.640 --> 04:51.960
So please let me know as you do that.

04:52.160 --> 04:54.880
And feel free to start uploading some more of the image.

04:54.960 --> 04:59.200
I also reorganized the overall structure quite a bit.

05:00.260 --> 05:03.000
I created a bunch of subfolders.

05:03.100 --> 05:06.960
I got rid of some of the main folders that really didn't seem like they were necessary.

05:06.960 --> 05:13.320
So I tried to reorganize it and make it a little bit cleaner and a little bit easier to find where things could and should go.

05:13.320 --> 05:16.140
So take advantage of the gallery.

05:16.300 --> 05:27.020
Upload your stuff to it and put some – there's a couple of threads in the Photoshop – GIMP Photoshop forum of some contests and stuff that we've got going on,

05:27.060 --> 05:29.740
which is cool, so you can use the gallery to host those.

05:29.820 --> 05:36.720
You don't have to go out there and hacksaw the photo bucket to make that happen, another very popular thread on our forums right now.

05:37.840 --> 05:39.360
Have you been watching that one, by the way?

05:40.280 --> 05:41.100
Yeah, oh, definitely.

05:41.100 --> 05:43.600
Yeah, that's getting quite a few hits.

05:43.680 --> 05:44.320
I wonder why.

05:44.580 --> 05:45.940
The Googler is coming in from that.

05:46.980 --> 05:49.280
So that's all I had for housekeeping.

05:49.540 --> 05:52.580
So that being said, let's move on to our email section.

05:52.580 --> 06:16.700
Our first email this week comes from G-O-9.

06:16.700 --> 06:19.760
That's G-E-O-N-I-N-E.

06:19.920 --> 06:23.880
Not G-E-O and the number nine because that just wouldn't make sense at all, now would it?

06:23.880 --> 06:34.620
G-O-9 says, Dear BinRev, During a recent show – I think it was one of the double-header shows – someone wrote in and asked about web-maced email encryption.

06:35.300 --> 06:38.780
You might point them towards hushmail.com, as if I remember right.

06:38.840 --> 06:39.760
I haven't used it in a while.

06:40.180 --> 06:43.780
It has some sort of fancy JavaScript encryption engine that works pretty well.

06:43.780 --> 06:48.420
It's free with limited storage as long as the account does not sit idle for more than two weeks.

06:48.920 --> 06:54.840
The HTTPS mail Google link that IMGeek pointed out is probably easier, though, which is tight as hell, by the way.

06:55.680 --> 06:59.040
Also, I had a few comments for the show you guys did on phishing recently.

06:59.160 --> 07:00.040
Oh, ho, ho, ho.

07:00.480 --> 07:01.960
Believe you were on that episode, weren't you?

07:01.960 --> 07:10.120
My girlfriend was nearly scammed with the old 419 a few weeks ago from a typical scam originating on eBay.

07:10.820 --> 07:12.500
Well, but which was it?

07:12.560 --> 07:14.140
Was it a phish or was it eBay?

07:14.460 --> 07:15.440
Well, let's – I don't know.

07:15.460 --> 07:15.980
Let's keep reading.

07:16.080 --> 07:16.460
I don't know here.

07:16.520 --> 07:16.840
Let's see.

07:16.920 --> 07:18.380
Insert kick in the nuts here, yeah.

07:19.380 --> 07:28.200
Luckily, the USPS was actually able to snag her $800 gold watch before it left Seattle and return it to her promptly.

07:28.200 --> 07:37.380
After poking around for a little while, I noticed that in one of the seven emails they had exchanged using broken-ass English,

07:37.760 --> 07:41.400
he had forgot to route through his favorite Israeli proxy.

07:41.740 --> 07:47.400
I don't know if you will read these on the air, but if anyone wants to poke around, this subnet has a few things on it.

07:47.440 --> 07:55.860
And no, we're not going to drop that on the air because, you know what, there's trouble you can get into on your end of things too.

07:55.860 --> 07:59.840
So I know you may feel justified, but the legal system might not agree with that.

08:01.200 --> 08:01.820
Let's see.

08:02.080 --> 08:02.960
Enough of that, though.

08:03.000 --> 08:07.540
What I also wanted to mention was something about the nature of these 419 scams.

08:09.240 --> 08:13.540
Yeah, we're going to come back to that because you hit the nail on the head earlier, Savant.

08:14.340 --> 08:16.600
But I'll just – let's wait until we finish the email here.

08:16.960 --> 08:17.600
Where was I?

08:17.600 --> 08:27.480
I know that BivRevsteer is clear of politics, and for this I am glad, but it was mentioned in that episode that these scams were carried out based on some sort of spite for the Western world.

08:28.180 --> 08:30.520
I am pretty sure that this is not entirely the case.

08:30.520 --> 08:48.980
A co-worker of mine who reigns from Nigeria, who was also noticeably uncomfortable when I merely mentioned the 419, told me that it's a huge embarrassment for the whole country, and they have raised the minimum jail time to five years for anyone caught and prosecuted under the 419 in an attempt to bring back some respect to the country.

08:49.560 --> 08:53.360
Whether or not anyone is actually ever prosecuted is probably another story, though.

08:53.460 --> 08:55.820
Food for thought, though, I guess.

08:55.820 --> 08:58.100
Keep up the good work with the show.

08:58.260 --> 09:00.300
Last four or five eps have been kick-ass.

09:00.400 --> 09:07.280
I usually listen to the show at work in my cab at night, and it's always funny as hell to see the people's response when they hear what I am listening to.

09:07.360 --> 09:17.540
I had to turn it off last week when some Mexican family jumping in my cab, and Stank was going off about $70,000 – oh, that was the – I know what he's talking about, the –

09:17.540 --> 09:20.400
That stupid screaming –

09:20.400 --> 09:21.160
That's pretty funny.

09:21.160 --> 09:24.680
Oh, man, I would have killed for the pictures of the video of the reaction to that.

09:24.680 --> 09:24.920
Oh, yeah.

09:24.920 --> 09:27.780
Yeah, maybe he's on Taxicab Confessions and he's got it on video.

09:28.460 --> 09:29.100
Yeah, maybe.

09:29.460 --> 09:30.300
That would be neat.

09:30.700 --> 09:32.100
All right, many laters, G09.

09:32.280 --> 09:33.540
Also, what's up with the zine?

09:33.600 --> 09:35.700
I'd love to help out if you guys are still doing it.

09:35.740 --> 09:37.840
It's all about hitting the media on all levels.

09:38.600 --> 09:41.700
The magazine, unfortunately, as much as I hate to admit it, is pretty much dead.

09:41.700 --> 09:45.080
When we do release it, and it is well underway.

09:45.080 --> 09:50.560
It's just the people that were doing the layout had some other things come up in real life and haven't had time to finish it.

09:51.040 --> 09:56.480
But when we do release it, we have already decided we're going to release it as a free PDF to be downloaded from the site.

09:56.480 --> 10:04.740
Maybe we'll print some off as well for people who do want the printed copy like me because I always like having a printed copy of magazines around.

10:04.740 --> 10:09.100
But I think, all in all, we may just be out of the magazine business.

10:09.220 --> 10:16.520
There's just so much work involved in the whole process from doing a lot of the writing, which we did a lot of the writing for the magazine.

10:16.760 --> 10:18.700
We didn't get a whole lot of outside submissions.

10:19.520 --> 10:25.680
The ones we got were good, but we didn't get a whole lot of outside submissions is what I'm trying to say.

10:25.680 --> 10:32.400
And frankly, now with the magazine being so delayed as it is, I understand why people might not want to submit now either.

10:32.520 --> 10:36.960
I mean, I probably wouldn't myself if I didn't have some confidence it was going to come out at some point in time.

10:37.140 --> 10:38.700
So I understand that.

10:38.760 --> 10:42.140
So we may just be out of the magazine business, but time will tell that.

10:42.220 --> 10:51.260
Maybe if we get someone who has the layout experience and we can put the whole thing back together and be reliable with it again, then who knows what the future holds.

10:51.340 --> 10:53.800
But for now, it's pretty much dead, unfortunately.

10:53.800 --> 10:59.540
So that being out of the way, I think also you mentioned earlier in the email you mentioned Hushmail.

11:00.560 --> 11:05.300
I know Rax has mentioned this on the show probably quite a while back, so it's certainly worth mentioning again.

11:05.380 --> 11:10.400
But I know he liked Hushmail a lot, so that's definitely something for people to go check out if you're interested.

11:11.260 --> 11:17.060
I myself have never used it, so I couldn't talk about the security of it or how well it works or anything like that.

11:17.080 --> 11:23.020
I haven't really had the need because I have my own secure mail solution, so that's not an issue there.

11:23.800 --> 11:31.200
And let me just also kind of mention – you mentioned the politics and how we don't go into politics on the show and whatnot.

11:31.200 --> 11:33.300
Well, yes, that is true.

11:33.420 --> 11:41.760
However, if it is something that relates directly, directly to the topic at hand, then sure, we'll definitely – we're not afraid to talk about it.

11:41.800 --> 11:49.980
If it's something that will add to the conversation, add to the discussion or something like that, then we will certainly talk about it.

11:49.980 --> 11:54.100
And I think – and this is one of those cases where it does a little bit, but we're not going to dwell on it.

11:54.180 --> 11:55.020
We're not going to debate it.

11:55.060 --> 11:56.000
We're not going to go into argument.

11:56.100 --> 11:58.600
We're just going to mention that this may be the reason.

11:58.720 --> 12:00.740
This is somewhat – sometimes associated with it.

12:01.040 --> 12:02.280
Take it for what it's worth.

12:02.280 --> 12:16.560
So that being the case, yeah, I think you actually – the way you worded it in your email – let me go back and look here for a second – was that – about how it's carried on some sort of spite for the Western world.

12:16.700 --> 12:19.360
And you said that it is not entirely the case.

12:19.420 --> 12:21.020
Well, no, it's not entirely the case.

12:21.420 --> 12:25.980
But I do think that in some cases it is definitely a factor in the case.

12:25.980 --> 12:27.920
So that's all we really said about it.

12:28.000 --> 12:30.920
I mean I don't have a problem going into politics on that level.

12:32.500 --> 12:37.540
As far as the 419, I've got to say – Samant questioned it while I was reading it, and I got the same thing.

12:37.620 --> 12:40.740
I mean did you get caught up in a 419 – excuse me, your girlfriend.

12:40.880 --> 12:44.000
Was this a – you mentioned eBay, but you said the 419.

12:44.260 --> 12:46.580
Those are – am I misunderstanding this here?

12:46.660 --> 12:47.700
Samant, what did you get out of that?

12:47.780 --> 12:48.100
What was –

12:48.100 --> 12:53.580
No, well, I think that reading between the lines, she may have been selling the watch

12:53.580 --> 12:56.180
or was somehow trying to sell a watch.

12:56.260 --> 13:01.740
I hope that he didn't talk her into just randomly sending her an $800 watch, or sending him rather.

13:02.240 --> 13:05.280
But I think that this isn't a 419 scam per se.

13:05.540 --> 13:05.900
Right.

13:05.920 --> 13:10.040
The person involved may have been Nigerian, but this is not a typical 419 scam.

13:10.720 --> 13:14.580
Yeah, and I kind of lean towards the same thing.

13:14.580 --> 13:21.100
I think that this is just an – this is probably an eBay ripoff that came from Nigeria.

13:21.320 --> 13:23.540
It came from a 419 number or something like that.

13:24.500 --> 13:26.540
That's what my guess is, but yeah, absolutely.

13:28.100 --> 13:31.820
Now, what do you think about this political aspect of the whole thing?

13:31.920 --> 13:39.940
I mean I don't think that it's necessarily that they hate us, but I mean which country has the most rich people

13:39.940 --> 13:41.520
that have the potential to get ripped off?

13:41.580 --> 13:43.220
I think we're just a big target for them.

13:43.920 --> 13:44.600
Yeah, definitely.

13:44.600 --> 13:48.760
Although in attacks that I'm seeing and defacements and things like that online,

13:48.840 --> 13:53.900
there's definitely more of a political slant with those people, with the attackers.

13:54.360 --> 13:57.460
So I didn't mean to imply that everyone in Nigeria was a scammer,

13:57.460 --> 14:02.860
just that the majority of these types of scams come from Nigeria and that the people who are perpetrating them

14:02.860 --> 14:08.720
tend to also fit a psychological profile of having a beef with the western side of the world.

14:08.720 --> 14:11.000
Yeah, yeah, and I think that's right.

14:11.100 --> 14:19.000
I think hacking across the board, mostly defacements, you see a lot of political messages thrown up onto the defaced websites and stuff.

14:19.000 --> 14:24.920
So yeah, the 419, I'm sure that there are people there that, you know, I don't think anybody really,

14:25.140 --> 14:29.800
we know you didn't mean anything about the entire country of Nigeria.

14:30.020 --> 14:31.980
I think that's well known.

14:32.960 --> 14:35.200
So, thank you for the email there, G09.

14:35.440 --> 14:38.240
And actually, here you go, just a little message for you.

14:38.320 --> 14:41.360
I know you're out there working tonight, listening to the car, so everybody in the cab tonight,

14:41.720 --> 14:44.280
yeah, I'm talking to you, you lazy fuckers in the back seat.

14:44.680 --> 14:46.880
Why don't you go walk for a change, you fat fuck?

14:46.880 --> 14:52.560
Why don't you put some lead to the, put your feet out on the pavement there and go work off some of that weight,

14:52.640 --> 14:54.220
you fat, lazy American fuckers.

14:54.660 --> 15:00.440
I mean, if you're going to at least get in the guy's cab, you better give him a fat fucking tip when you get out of the damn thing.

15:00.500 --> 15:03.280
Otherwise, you can get the fuck out and walk your fat ass.

15:03.780 --> 15:05.700
Show some fucking respect, that's a hard job.

15:05.980 --> 15:09.880
Seriously, man, you think you're just fucking going to wait on you and then you're going to get out without tipping the guy?

15:09.960 --> 15:14.480
Man, get your fucking greedy hands in your pockets and drop some coin on the man, you sloppy bitch.

15:14.480 --> 15:19.680
All right, now, on to our next email from Cypress.

15:19.980 --> 15:21.760
Hey, why don't you read this one while I get a drink now?

15:22.380 --> 15:26.240
All right, man, hey, Tim, I'm going to read this really slowly for you this time.

15:26.780 --> 15:28.720
Okay, this is from Cypress.

15:28.720 --> 15:32.800
I love that you are continuing the show even after all the drama.

15:33.040 --> 15:36.020
I never really said this, but I am glad that you are back into the scene.

15:36.340 --> 15:37.280
A little bit overdue.

15:37.760 --> 15:41.900
Anyway, on the last few shows, you kept saying that Macs are more expensive than PCs.

15:42.460 --> 15:46.300
Although this may be true with some of the models, it is definitely not true for all of them.

15:46.720 --> 15:52.820
I only know this for sure about the Mac Pro because there was a lot of hype there about that on to global interweb.

15:52.820 --> 15:59.420
Here are some links to prove that, and I'm going to drop a tiny URL bomb on you guys.

15:59.700 --> 16:02.020
So just assume that it's tinyurl.com.

16:02.200 --> 16:03.140
He gives a couple links.

16:06.100 --> 16:07.180
G3UNN is one.

16:09.980 --> 16:10.500
P9G8P.

16:11.580 --> 16:14.240
Another one is PFF44.

16:14.760 --> 16:15.520
And he continues,

16:15.520 --> 16:18.560
I hope I did not drive you all crazy with all those tiny URLs.

16:19.020 --> 16:23.480
I'm not saying that you are not entitled to your opinion and to think that Apple sucks, with which I agree.

16:23.880 --> 16:25.840
However, do check the facts before you rant.

16:26.160 --> 16:28.360
I love the show, the DDP, and the forums.

16:28.540 --> 16:31.380
Thank you and all the DDP for keeping it going.

16:32.580 --> 16:32.980
Cool.

16:33.100 --> 16:35.080
Well, thank you, Cypress, for the email.

16:36.540 --> 16:41.000
Yeah, well, the listeners can go check out those tiny URLs and read about it themselves.

16:41.120 --> 16:41.540
I did.

16:42.740 --> 16:44.460
Thank you again for that, Cypress.

16:44.460 --> 16:48.100
I didn't even realize that this was such a hot topic on the global interweb.

16:49.140 --> 16:50.580
But I'm sorry.

16:50.640 --> 16:56.060
I'm still going to disagree with you on this because – and everybody in these links that you sent,

16:56.280 --> 17:03.500
and again, not personally or anything, but the comparison that I didn't realize had so much attention going on to me

17:03.500 --> 17:04.820
is just a total red herring.

17:06.540 --> 17:13.620
There is no validity to this comparison to me, at least in terms of what I'm talking about.

17:13.620 --> 17:16.100
Maybe I need to clarify it, and that's what I'll try to do here.

17:16.460 --> 17:22.220
But this thing is comparing a high-end $5,000 Mac Pro or whatever this thing is called.

17:22.280 --> 17:24.060
We're talking about a $5,000 machine.

17:24.780 --> 17:29.320
And when you're talking on that kind of scale, the choice of what machine you're going to buy

17:29.320 --> 17:32.020
isn't based on financial aspects at that point.

17:32.020 --> 17:35.480
And it's a choice of the software and the needs that you have for your business

17:35.480 --> 17:37.240
and what you want the machine to do.

17:37.840 --> 17:43.720
You know, debating and comparing the topic from this blog post that people are doing out there,

17:43.780 --> 17:45.260
they're missing some simple facts.

17:45.880 --> 17:50.800
What I'm referring to when I complain about the price of Apple hardware and Macs,

17:50.800 --> 17:56.020
I'm talking about your common, normal, everyday, basic, simple machine

17:56.020 --> 18:01.300
that a student, your parent, business people, anybody, just a normal person would buy.

18:01.400 --> 18:02.600
That's what I'm talking about.

18:02.620 --> 18:08.780
I'm not talking about comparing whether a $5,000 Dell server or, excuse me, a $5,000 Mac

18:08.780 --> 18:10.440
but the Dell equivalent $6,000.

18:10.720 --> 18:11.020
You know what?

18:11.060 --> 18:14.360
I'm not talking about that, and I don't think very few people are.

18:14.440 --> 18:17.220
We're talking about the normal machines that they're pushing,

18:17.220 --> 18:21.300
and the stuff they're pimping in the Mac stores, you know, up in the displays and stuff like that.

18:21.360 --> 18:24.180
People aren't going in there to buy $5,000 Mac Pros.

18:24.320 --> 18:25.180
That's not the issue.

18:25.740 --> 18:27.840
I'm talking about the low-end.

18:28.620 --> 18:30.140
And I don't mean that in a bad way.

18:30.220 --> 18:35.000
I'm talking about a low-end generic computer, whether it be a PC or a laptop,

18:35.200 --> 18:38.620
because quite frankly, these days, prices and power of machines,

18:38.720 --> 18:40.380
you can really buy a low-end machine.

18:40.380 --> 18:46.700
You can get a low-end Celeron 2-something gigahertz or a P4 2.4, 2.8,

18:47.220 --> 18:52.620
it's going to run just about any damn thing you want to do other than, like, high-end gaming and stuff like that.

18:52.780 --> 18:54.140
You can buy low-end PCs.

18:55.120 --> 18:58.940
Take and compare a low-end Dell PC or a low-end laptop.

18:59.060 --> 19:04.060
Again, either way, you can find both of those two things for less than $700 from Dell,

19:04.120 --> 19:06.520
a PC for less than, like, $400 without the monitor.

19:07.180 --> 19:08.780
So we're talking low-end machines.

19:08.780 --> 19:13.220
Now, you compare that with the equivalent, quote-unquote, low-end Mac.

19:13.720 --> 19:14.740
I mean, even the Mini Mac.

19:14.980 --> 19:17.660
Is that – and, Savannah, I know you know a little bit about Macs.

19:17.760 --> 19:22.220
The Mini Mac is the lowest or the cheapest model that Apple makes.

19:22.240 --> 19:22.720
Is that right?

19:23.240 --> 19:24.300
I think so.

19:24.360 --> 19:26.440
I don't know who told you I know anything about Macs.

19:26.500 --> 19:28.560
I thought you knew a little bit about Macs.

19:29.000 --> 19:30.320
I know enough not to use them.

19:32.520 --> 19:34.640
Oh, boy, are you going to get hate mail for that one.

19:35.020 --> 19:35.700
Yeah, yeah.

19:35.700 --> 19:39.460
Now, see, so I looked into the Mini Mac because I want one.

19:39.540 --> 19:40.300
I'll be honest.

19:40.400 --> 19:42.620
I want one because I want to see what the big deal is.

19:42.680 --> 19:44.300
I want to see what people like about them.

19:44.740 --> 19:47.920
I like the hardware form factors and stuff like that.

19:47.940 --> 19:48.700
I think they look nice.

19:48.740 --> 19:49.540
I think they're light.

19:50.140 --> 19:51.780
You know, I think they are a decent machine.

19:51.920 --> 19:52.500
Don't get me wrong.

19:52.560 --> 19:54.840
I'm not attacking them or putting them down per se.

19:55.080 --> 19:58.920
I'm just saying that it's ridiculous comparing the cost.

19:59.140 --> 20:03.440
I mean, I don't think there's any – I just don't see there's any debate.

20:03.440 --> 20:06.420
I think it's such a clear-cut thing that Macintosh is more expensive.

20:06.720 --> 20:10.640
Apple makes more expensive hardware, period, because they're a hardware manufacturer.

20:11.520 --> 20:12.880
But take the Mini Mac, for example.

20:12.960 --> 20:19.320
The cheapest one out there, the Mini Mac, costs more than even a powerful low-end PC.

20:20.260 --> 20:24.980
I mean, I think the Mini Macs, I want to say, and don't correct me if I'm off by a few bucks here,

20:25.000 --> 20:27.840
but it's like $500 or $600, I think, for the lowest-end one.

20:27.840 --> 20:33.020
And it doesn't have the same – it has a slower processor.

20:33.580 --> 20:37.840
It has less memory and, you know, completely limited upgradability.

20:38.580 --> 20:41.420
You can't crack things open in general with Macintosh hardware.

20:41.600 --> 20:46.240
I mean, you kind of, sort of can, but your Voyager warranty and all that kind of stuff comes into play.

20:46.880 --> 20:50.860
So, I mean, when you're comparing, like, the Mini Mac, which is their low-end, versus a low-end PC,

20:51.480 --> 20:52.420
there's no comparison.

20:52.420 --> 20:57.040
I mean, I can get, again, for less than – and, again, the Mini Mac doesn't come with a monitor for that price either.

20:57.900 --> 21:00.940
So, you know, right there, there's no debate.

21:01.060 --> 21:07.960
I don't see any way, shape, or form you can defend that a Mac is cheaper or the same price as the equivalent PC.

21:08.460 --> 21:09.940
In my mind, I don't see it.

21:10.040 --> 21:11.480
You'd really have to convince me.

21:11.780 --> 21:15.020
One person, by the way, I should have looked him up so I could thank him.

21:15.300 --> 21:18.800
One person did send me a link to a Mini Mac on sale.

21:18.800 --> 21:23.440
I think it's the old model before it went to Intel, I think.

21:23.940 --> 21:24.680
I wouldn't swear by that.

21:24.760 --> 21:29.560
So, I guess they're doing closeouts on the old ones, but they weren't from Apple.

21:29.680 --> 21:31.220
They were, like, through resellers and stuff.

21:31.300 --> 21:33.340
I think Compusa was the link that was sent to me.

21:34.000 --> 21:37.240
And when I went to check it out, of course, there were none available.

21:37.360 --> 21:38.160
I couldn't order it.

21:38.820 --> 21:43.500
And even that, quite honestly, was still a little bit more than a PC, but I was still willing to drop 500 bucks.

21:43.580 --> 21:48.180
I think it was 400 or 500 bucks to try one out, and I couldn't get it because they were all gone.

21:48.180 --> 21:59.700
So, I'm talking about new ones from the manufacturer, of course, because if you're going to talk about buying used ones or discount or clearance or whatever, then you better do the same thing with the Dell.

21:59.960 --> 22:04.820
So, if you're going to make that comparison and say, oh, but you can get a Mac from Compusa on clearance for this, well, guess what?

22:04.880 --> 22:07.460
What can you get the Dell on clearance or on refurb or whatever?

22:07.600 --> 22:10.620
So, make sure you keep your comparisons fair.

22:10.620 --> 22:14.080
So, and then as far as laptops go, I mean, come on.

22:14.700 --> 22:19.200
I don't think there's a Mac laptop for less than $1,000.

22:19.660 --> 22:24.160
And I know you can buy, yeah, I think it's $999 for the lowest, is it MacBook?

22:24.360 --> 22:25.060
Is that what they call them?

22:25.920 --> 22:26.280
Yeah.

22:26.620 --> 22:27.340
Something like that.

22:27.400 --> 22:32.180
The lowest-end MacBook with a small monitor and not a lot of memory, et cetera, et cetera.

22:32.180 --> 22:38.640
And, again, you can get a laptop, a Dell laptop for $700 or less probably these days.

22:38.820 --> 22:44.080
So, again, I just don't see the comparison whatsoever for your normal everyday machines that people are buying.

22:44.340 --> 22:49.180
So, I'm not talking about the $5,000 high-end machines.

22:49.400 --> 22:58.980
I mean, that, you could debate that back and forth all day, but I do think that those purchases are driven by what you want to do with the machine and or whether you're a zealot for that particular architecture.

22:58.980 --> 23:04.240
And, you know, I'm not a zealot for either one, so I don't want to send the wrong impression like I'm a big Apple basher.

23:04.360 --> 23:05.060
I'm really not.

23:05.400 --> 23:07.880
I think they make overpriced, underpowered hardware.

23:08.180 --> 23:09.700
That's just a statement.

23:09.900 --> 23:10.380
I mean, period.

23:10.780 --> 23:11.960
I'm not hating on them exactly.

23:12.040 --> 23:13.660
If they dropped the price a little bit, I'd buy one.

23:14.500 --> 23:16.620
Or if someone wants to send me one for free, there you go.

23:17.100 --> 23:17.460
Right.

23:18.340 --> 23:21.400
But I'm talking normal people buying normal machines.

23:21.540 --> 23:26.100
To me, and I can only speak for myself, Savant, you can follow up on this if you want,

23:26.100 --> 23:33.540
but to me, a PC blows the Mac's panties right off the fucking – right off – hold on.

23:33.580 --> 23:34.880
Here's my little quote in the show notes.

23:35.020 --> 23:39.180
Blows the Mac's panties right the fuck off like Savant in a porn movie.

23:40.420 --> 23:41.220
There you go.

23:41.460 --> 23:46.580
No, really, it leaves the Mac standing in a puddle of its own piss, and you can't even open the fucking machine to change its diaper.

23:46.940 --> 23:49.120
I mean, it just completely blows it out of the fucking water.

23:49.120 --> 23:53.420
So I don't want to put you on the spot because Verbal got some hate mail about his comments.

23:54.500 --> 23:59.640
He was trying to hawk his MacBook to me, and I'd love to use one.

23:59.720 --> 24:00.480
I'd love to own one.

24:00.680 --> 24:00.960
Right.

24:01.000 --> 24:07.760
But I'm not going to take out a mortgage to pick up another laptop that I don't know or that isn't as comfortable to me

24:07.760 --> 24:11.580
as something that I've been using all my life, like a PC or a Linux-based laptop.

24:11.920 --> 24:13.900
I mean, I've already got a laptop.

24:13.900 --> 24:15.920
Why do I need to spend all this money?

24:16.120 --> 24:24.140
Now, the one good thing I can say about Mac is that so far there hasn't been much in the way of exploitation the way there has with PCs.

24:24.820 --> 24:35.060
So I wouldn't mind telling my grandma to spend an extra $300 and get the MacBook so that I don't have to spend every fucking weekend for the rest of my life removing malware.

24:35.420 --> 24:38.240
Well, except for this fact.

24:38.960 --> 24:42.140
When something does go wrong, your grandma's going to call you and ask you to fix it.

24:42.140 --> 24:45.800
And if you don't know jack shit about Macs, you're out of luck.

24:46.280 --> 24:51.940
Worse not, if I'm not a certified Macintosh professional, then my even breathing mirror might void the warranty.

24:52.180 --> 24:53.080
Yeah, exactly.

24:53.500 --> 24:53.860
Exactly.

24:55.100 --> 24:57.160
So, yeah, I mean, I like them.

24:57.220 --> 24:58.040
I'd like to try one.

24:58.140 --> 25:01.540
But, you know, I'm just not willing to pay that much money for them.

25:01.600 --> 25:06.580
If they drop the prices, which is all I've ever said all along, if they drop the prices on them,

25:06.580 --> 25:10.600
which they should have done when they went to Intel because they're cheaper for them to make,

25:10.720 --> 25:12.560
they're cheaper processors for them to get.

25:12.800 --> 25:14.840
They should have passed those savings on, and they didn't.

25:15.020 --> 25:19.280
So, hey, that's their choice of how to run the business, and I'm just not going to support it.

25:19.300 --> 25:19.740
No big deal.

25:21.140 --> 25:22.200
Personal decision.

25:23.140 --> 25:26.000
All right, so I guess enough of the – those aren't distro wars, I guess.

25:26.060 --> 25:26.780
They're OS wars.

25:26.780 --> 25:31.160
We'll just move on to another email and let people form their own opinions.

25:31.700 --> 25:35.780
Next email this week comes from – I'm just going to say Germ.

25:35.900 --> 25:36.780
It's xgermx.

25:37.580 --> 25:40.300
I guess it's just for flair around the germ.

25:40.400 --> 25:41.620
It's just flair around the name.

25:42.760 --> 25:45.960
Germ says, I think it was on episode 167.

25:46.280 --> 25:49.700
You and Verbal were talking about the price differences between – oh, crap.

25:49.740 --> 25:50.580
We're going to this again?

25:50.680 --> 25:51.020
Damn it.

25:51.100 --> 25:53.360
I didn't realize this email was in here.

25:53.360 --> 25:55.980
Okay, the price differences between OSX and Vista.

25:56.780 --> 26:03.320
Verbal mentioned Vista costing around $300, but it's actually going to be closer to around $75, at least for an upgrade.

26:03.960 --> 26:05.940
And he gives a link here that I'm not going to read out.

26:06.080 --> 26:07.220
I think that's easily found.

26:07.320 --> 26:08.660
I thought I mentioned this on the show, actually.

26:09.200 --> 26:12.860
I just started listening to the show about a week, and I really enjoy it.

26:12.940 --> 26:17.560
You guys do an excellent job, and hopefully after a few more episodes, I can give some constructive criticism.

26:18.100 --> 26:23.120
I love the ep about open source security tools, and I personally would like to hear a full show about Yersinia.

26:23.960 --> 26:24.600
All right.

26:24.600 --> 26:32.420
Well, thank you, Germ, for the email, and yeah, I told Verbal – I thought I said it on that show that he's Office Rocker, that he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

26:32.540 --> 26:40.480
But, you know, Verbal and his online prowess is legendary at this point, and I mean, Sylvain, I think you know what I'm talking about here.

26:40.540 --> 26:43.560
I mean, what do we know about Verbal and his online skills?

26:44.420 --> 26:45.880
Verbal sucks at the online.

26:45.880 --> 26:48.540
Yeah, I mean, that pretty much just summarizes the whole thing.

26:48.640 --> 26:50.220
So, yeah, don't worry about Verbal.

26:51.080 --> 26:54.240
And yours was not the only request for Yersinia, by the way.

26:54.980 --> 27:00.260
And not only that, but we had a lot of people asking for more detail on several different tools.

27:00.820 --> 27:03.340
So I am trying to put those together as we speak.

27:03.340 --> 27:15.920
It's kind of hard to do those topics on a radio show, though, because you walk that very dangerous line of being very dry to describe a piece of software, at least at the level of detail that we try to put into this show.

27:15.920 --> 27:22.700
And really, I mean, anybody can give you a list of, you know, names and what they do generally.

27:24.140 --> 27:26.120
But we try to go into a little bit more detail.

27:26.240 --> 27:30.720
Even when we did go through that open source security tools, we went into a little bit of detail in each one of them.

27:31.140 --> 27:37.620
But to pick one out and go into a real level of detail and keep it interesting on the radio is really, really hard to do.

27:37.760 --> 27:43.520
So we're trying to put that together and see how we can make it come across and still be entertaining as well as educational.

27:43.520 --> 27:52.660
What would really be cool is if some of the actual – if we got some of the developers on the show to talk about the tools that they've worked on, that they know intimately.

27:52.820 --> 27:59.620
I think that would be – make it a whole lot easier for me and make it really cool if we could have those people.

27:59.780 --> 28:05.900
See, they'd be able to explain them – well, again, more intimately I think is the best word because they know the inside, the internals of it.

28:06.020 --> 28:08.100
So that would be the best way to do it.

28:08.100 --> 28:10.140
So I guess actually maybe I'll make a call out right now.

28:10.140 --> 28:21.220
Now, if you are a developer on any of these security tools or a security tool of any kind and want to come on the show for an episode or two to talk about your tool and how it works and what it does and some level of detail,

28:22.100 --> 28:26.680
as well as read through a few crackpot emails along the way, then email me.

28:27.320 --> 28:34.740
Email us, radio at binrev.com, and we'll see if we can't put something together because I think that would be very cool if we started to get some of the developers of these tools

28:34.740 --> 28:42.440
who can tell us a little bit more about the inner workings of some of these tools instead of just people who have used them who can tell us how they work.

28:42.740 --> 28:44.300
There's value in that certainly.

28:44.920 --> 28:48.760
Very, very interesting to do that side of things as well.

28:48.900 --> 28:54.820
But if we knew – if we had the developers on as well who could talk about that and more, I think that would be really, really cool.

28:54.820 --> 28:57.900
All right, so let's see.

28:57.960 --> 29:01.500
One more email, then we'll wrap it up and move on to our show topic this week.

29:01.780 --> 29:04.840
Last email comes from Carl, who says,

29:04.940 --> 29:07.240
Stank, don't doubt yourself so easily.

29:07.420 --> 29:14.880
Gomer Pyle started off in Mayberry, then left to join the Marines when the Gomer Pyle show spun off.

29:15.960 --> 29:17.720
Well, some bitch.

29:17.720 --> 29:19.820
Didn't even know that.

29:19.900 --> 29:21.020
I don't think I knew that anyway.

29:21.260 --> 29:24.000
I might have been on my subconscious somewhere when I said that.

29:24.140 --> 29:28.060
That was one of those weird tangents we went off on another show.

29:28.460 --> 29:38.500
But, you know, believe it or not, as old as I am, you know, the gray hair, just, you know, hitting that middle age mark there or whatever I'm at,

29:39.320 --> 29:43.380
these shows were still a little bit before my time, believe it or not, slightly before my time.

29:43.380 --> 29:49.360
I definitely watched them when I was a kid, came home, watched them after school and stuff, but they were in reruns at that point,

29:49.620 --> 29:52.100
so it was a little bit before my time.

29:52.180 --> 29:57.960
But I guess subconsciously I did know it, and I guess it was implanted back in my brain somewhere.

29:58.180 --> 29:59.040
But you know what?

29:59.320 --> 30:00.360
As usual, I'm right.

30:00.540 --> 30:07.720
I mean, the sooner you people understand that what I say is completely, 100% correct, the sooner we can all move on with life.

30:07.720 --> 30:12.840
I mean, it just makes things so much easier when you realize that I am always right.

30:14.380 --> 30:15.820
Accept it when I'm a dumbass.

30:16.780 --> 30:19.360
Oh, actually, that's what we're going to do for closing music tonight, by the way.

30:21.180 --> 30:21.660
Oh, the remix?

30:21.840 --> 30:22.860
Yeah, your remix.

30:22.940 --> 30:24.440
We're going to use that for closing music tonight.

30:24.500 --> 30:25.060
I've got to remember that.

30:25.060 --> 30:25.160
Yes.

30:26.360 --> 30:27.900
All right, we've got to put that on tonight.

30:28.460 --> 30:30.000
Okay, so that's enough for email.

30:30.140 --> 30:31.600
Let's close up the mailbag this week.

30:31.640 --> 30:33.380
You ready to go into our main topic?

30:34.160 --> 30:34.940
Let's do it.

30:34.940 --> 30:39.160
You got your drink there, because this is going to be a lot of talking on your end of things,

30:39.240 --> 30:45.180
because our main topic tonight is a review of TourCon 8, the hacking conference convention.

30:45.400 --> 30:46.800
I never know what to call these things.

30:47.460 --> 30:48.880
The hacking get-together.

30:48.880 --> 30:51.700
Well, yeah, the con's a cheap way out.

30:51.740 --> 30:53.260
Does that stand for conference or convention?

30:54.060 --> 30:54.380
Yeah.

30:54.700 --> 30:55.560
Yeah, exactly.

30:55.720 --> 30:56.120
Either way.

30:56.880 --> 30:59.780
All right, so TourCon 8 review.

31:00.520 --> 31:07.780
TourCon, of course, is a hacking whatever gathering of some sort that takes place at San Diego,

31:07.880 --> 31:09.380
in the San Diego Convention Center.

31:10.340 --> 31:12.060
Is that every year at the same place?

31:12.120 --> 31:13.560
Have they moved it from time to time?

31:13.780 --> 31:14.820
How long have you been going?

31:14.920 --> 31:16.140
How many have you been to?

31:16.720 --> 31:20.620
This is my second TourCon, and both of them so far have been at the convention center.

31:20.920 --> 31:24.840
But as I understand it, the ones before that took place at various hotels around San Diego.

31:25.420 --> 31:29.360
But now they're finally big enough to where they feel confident in spending the money on the convention center.

31:29.960 --> 31:30.520
Well, you know what?

31:30.580 --> 31:34.200
Convention centers are designed for that sort of thing, so it's probably a better venue.

31:35.080 --> 31:38.880
Obviously, I haven't seen it, but convention centers are designed for that purpose.

31:38.880 --> 31:45.860
So I bet you it's pretty cool and easy to lay out and get things organized, I should say.

31:46.580 --> 31:49.920
Yeah, it's the same conference hall that they use at the International Comic Con every year.

31:50.300 --> 31:54.860
We don't use nearly as much floor space, but there's a lot of room to walk around.

31:55.120 --> 31:56.460
They serve drinks there.

31:57.340 --> 32:00.780
It's not a bad venue, and it's in downtown, so you can walk to it just about every time.

32:00.780 --> 32:05.360
All right, and this is an annual conference every year about the same time, correct?

32:05.760 --> 32:06.480
Mm-hmm, correct.

32:06.980 --> 32:10.240
And let's see, what about, okay, about how many people were there?

32:11.060 --> 32:17.840
This time around, there was about 300 or 400, and it felt like there were less people there than there were last conference.

32:18.420 --> 32:18.680
Really?

32:18.720 --> 32:20.720
But it was, yeah, it was still pretty sizable.

32:21.460 --> 32:22.380
Hmm, interesting.

32:22.520 --> 32:23.840
I hope their attendance didn't go down.

32:23.940 --> 32:24.560
That would suck.

32:24.560 --> 32:31.000
Maybe it's just I knew everybody there at this time as opposed to last time where I was just meeting them, but it just felt smaller.

32:31.460 --> 32:31.480
Hmm.

32:32.400 --> 32:35.860
All right, well, let's see, 300 or 400 people, what was the ticket cost?

32:35.900 --> 32:36.780
How much did it cost to get in?

32:37.300 --> 32:43.700
It cost, you know, if you pre-registered right as the conference opened up, I believe it was 50, and then it made its way up to 75,

32:43.940 --> 32:47.880
and it was 100 at the door if you waited right until the day of the conference to go.

32:48.680 --> 32:52.760
Yeah, see, isn't that a lot like ShmooCon does with their pricing?

32:52.760 --> 32:54.320
Because it's one of the things I didn't like.

32:54.400 --> 32:58.600
I would love to have gone to ShmooCon, but I can't commit to something that early.

32:58.700 --> 33:00.240
I don't know what my work schedule is going to be.

33:00.360 --> 33:04.400
I don't know what my personal schedule is going to be, so I can't commit that early.

33:04.540 --> 33:10.480
And by the time it gets closer and I realize I might be able to go, the prices have gone up so much.

33:11.400 --> 33:15.860
Yeah, at this point, it might be proven to just buy a damn ticket ahead of time, not knowing if you're going to go.

33:16.000 --> 33:20.860
And then when it sells out, because ShmooCon sold out last year, they just hawk it on eBay or something.

33:21.200 --> 33:21.900
Right, right.

33:21.900 --> 33:26.740
Yeah, but it's pretty obnoxious having to plan out your year six to seven months in advance

33:26.740 --> 33:30.780
just to not get even upside down over the cost of getting into the conference.

33:31.520 --> 33:36.760
Well, even so, at $100 at the highest on the last day, that's not so awful bad in my opinion.

33:37.020 --> 33:41.000
I mean, not everybody can come up with $100 on top of the other costs.

33:41.140 --> 33:42.880
Like the hotel, did you stay at the hotel?

33:43.320 --> 33:45.420
Let's see, it's at the conference center, so there wasn't a hotel.

33:46.380 --> 33:48.260
It wasn't at a hotel, so what was the closest?

33:48.260 --> 33:53.100
Well, there are plenty of hotels in the area of every major manufacturer, you know,

33:53.220 --> 33:55.520
DoubleTree or Hyatt or Hilton or whatever else.

33:55.800 --> 34:00.200
I think a lot of people stayed at the Hilton and a lot of people stayed at the Hotel Solimar

34:00.200 --> 34:04.200
down here in San Diego, but since I live, it's like 15 minutes from the conference center,

34:04.380 --> 34:07.100
it just crashed at my place and took advantage of the shit out of it.

34:07.100 --> 34:07.780
Oh, nice.

34:08.540 --> 34:09.640
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty sweet.

34:09.960 --> 34:11.980
I know I'm dropping docs on myself over here again.

34:12.600 --> 34:13.880
Someone's going to be writing this down.

34:14.280 --> 34:14.440
Yeah.

34:14.440 --> 34:14.980
San Diego.

34:15.580 --> 34:17.660
They're going to go on Google Maps to the convention center.

34:17.760 --> 34:22.460
They're going to do 15-minute driving diameter, and they're going to knock door to door until

34:22.460 --> 34:23.120
they find you.

34:23.920 --> 34:24.680
Yeah, well, you know what?

34:24.680 --> 34:26.940
I'm going to give that person a cookie and a beer if they ever do.

34:27.980 --> 34:28.300
Okay.

34:28.740 --> 34:30.420
Yeah, sure, it's a pretty small town.

34:30.480 --> 34:31.320
They shouldn't have any problems.

34:31.820 --> 34:33.780
San Diego, yeah, it's a shack town.

34:33.780 --> 34:36.900
Yeah, come on, it'll take them an hour at the most.

34:37.080 --> 34:37.780
I mean, no big deal.

34:38.740 --> 34:46.520
All right, so it's not a hotel directly there, so it's pretty much wherever they're at.

34:46.620 --> 34:50.640
Now, if I remember right, I saw on the webpage, one of the things I liked about them is they

34:50.640 --> 34:56.500
gave a lot of good information about the different hotels in the area and had set up

34:56.500 --> 35:01.560
some conference pricing with a lot of them, and even the rental cars.

35:01.560 --> 35:04.680
Again, you didn't need that because you're there, but if you wanted to go and have a

35:04.680 --> 35:10.200
rental car to get around down there, they even had a special price they'd worked out

35:10.200 --> 35:11.480
with one of the rental car companies.

35:12.180 --> 35:17.000
I was impressed by that because that shows that they're actually thinking of what all

35:17.000 --> 35:19.880
kind of nice things or helpful things can they do for their attendees.

35:20.060 --> 35:23.820
They're going out of their way, and to me, that was very cool.

35:23.940 --> 35:24.540
I like that a lot.

35:24.800 --> 35:29.560
Now, Hope had their wiki where they put up a little bit of information about hotels,

35:29.560 --> 35:34.000
but there pretty much all they did was, listen, here's the rate for the Hotel Pennsylvania,

35:34.380 --> 35:38.320
and when it fills up, which it always does, they didn't really do a whole lot.

35:38.380 --> 35:42.940
I mean, at the last minute, I think they tried to work out some other hotels nearby, but for

35:42.940 --> 35:44.200
the most part, you were on your own.

35:46.000 --> 35:50.200
Right, and I think that that's one of the small differences in production value that sets

35:50.200 --> 35:53.460
Torcon aside from some of the other ones like Hope.

35:53.720 --> 35:56.820
Hope felt more like a hacker conference, you know, quote unquote.

35:56.820 --> 36:02.240
So, it felt a lot more, you know, homebrewed and grassroots, but Torcon definitely had

36:02.240 --> 36:06.100
that little professional extra that made it worth crossing the country to attend.

36:06.820 --> 36:11.320
Yeah, and you know, that's a good point because I was kind of going to ask this coming up,

36:11.540 --> 36:16.520
is this, would you still consider this a hacking conference, or is this a security

36:16.520 --> 36:17.800
professionals conference?

36:18.720 --> 36:19.660
Or a little of both?

36:20.480 --> 36:23.600
Yeah, definitely a little of both, but in the same way that ShmooCon, a little of both,

36:23.600 --> 36:26.180
but I would say far more geared towards industry.

36:26.800 --> 36:29.340
Most of your hacker types are either going to make it to DEF CON, or they're going to

36:29.340 --> 36:34.220
make it to Hope, but generally won't cross the country just to go to a small little shindig.

36:34.680 --> 36:39.480
And I think because it was prohibitively expensive in terms of travel, that only the people that

36:39.480 --> 36:44.280
were being sent by vendors or security research firms or just really wanted to know the information

36:44.280 --> 36:45.500
actually made the trek.

36:46.180 --> 36:46.860
Right, right.

36:46.900 --> 36:50.120
Or people that were obviously there in Cali and could get there easily.

36:50.840 --> 36:51.080
Yeah.

36:51.080 --> 36:54.240
Yeah, all right, well that's interesting to know.

36:54.400 --> 36:58.000
I mean, see, I think there's still a happy medium in between there that can be reached.

36:58.100 --> 37:02.120
I just wish you had a little bit of a, you know, I wish you had a hacker conference run

37:02.120 --> 37:07.340
by people who took a little bit more pride in their organizational skills and actually

37:07.340 --> 37:14.480
went that extra mile to be professional, I guess, for lack of a better word, to be professional

37:14.480 --> 37:18.080
in what they put on, but not be a sellout, I guess.

37:18.080 --> 37:19.940
I'm not sure exactly what I'm trying to say.

37:20.000 --> 37:21.840
I'm not calling them sellouts, don't get me wrong.

37:22.300 --> 37:26.740
What I'm saying is there's a happy medium where you can have a real hacking conference,

37:26.820 --> 37:32.660
and let's say DEFCON, for example, and still do a lot of the things that the TORCON people

37:32.660 --> 37:33.240
have done.

37:33.880 --> 37:37.820
Now, you can do Hope and still do a lot of things that the TORCON people have done.

37:37.960 --> 37:42.620
Putting up a wiki and hoping that people put a list of local restaurants or hotels and

37:42.620 --> 37:48.600
stuff like that, it's nice in theory and all, but you know what, if the conference organizers

37:48.600 --> 37:52.760
took it upon themselves to do that extra little thing, and I'm not belittling it saying it's

37:52.760 --> 37:54.120
easy either, you know what I mean?

37:54.820 --> 37:58.520
It just seems like there's a happy medium between all of these that could be accomplished.

37:58.620 --> 38:01.640
Now, speaking of restaurants, what's, I mean, there's other costs associated.

38:01.640 --> 38:04.600
When I look at going to a conference, I take the whole package.

38:05.100 --> 38:06.500
What's the hotel going to cost me?

38:06.580 --> 38:07.960
What's the airfare going to cost me?

38:08.040 --> 38:13.260
What's the rental if I'm going to get it, et cetera, cost to get into the damn thing?

38:14.740 --> 38:18.380
All those things, even eating out at restaurants, I mean, are there any other costs?

38:18.480 --> 38:21.340
I mean, what's prices like in California in general out there?

38:21.400 --> 38:24.040
I mean, is restaurants the same as they are everywhere else?

38:24.340 --> 38:25.780
Well, they're pretty close.

38:25.780 --> 38:27.820
I mean, downtown's especially bad.

38:28.040 --> 38:31.980
There aren't a whole lot of fast food options unless you're willing to hook it up five blocks

38:31.980 --> 38:33.920
to the mall that's over there.

38:33.920 --> 38:37.760
But there's a lot of really nice restaurants for every pallet of cuisine.

38:37.960 --> 38:41.000
Like, if you can only eat Thai, then there's a really nice Thai restaurant down there.

38:41.360 --> 38:43.660
It kind of looks like Indiana Jones, the ride from Disneyland.

38:44.560 --> 38:47.960
But, you know, you're generally looking at, if you're going to go out to a nice place,

38:48.040 --> 38:50.680
you're looking to 20 to 30 bucks a plate plus whatever drinks.

38:51.240 --> 38:51.440
Damn.

38:51.440 --> 38:54.920
Which, yeah, I mean, at a restaurant, it can get pretty steep.

38:55.560 --> 38:57.560
But that's just part of the course downtown.

38:58.080 --> 38:59.880
You know, there's plenty of fast food joints within.

39:00.140 --> 39:00.960
You can walk there.

39:00.960 --> 39:03.700
You can take the trolley because it runs right next to the convention center.

39:04.340 --> 39:05.560
And it's also next to the stadium.

39:05.780 --> 39:08.660
So if you're into games, if that's your thing, then you might luck out.

39:08.940 --> 39:11.660
And the conference will be at the same time as one of the Padre games.

39:12.260 --> 39:12.460
Definitely.

39:13.140 --> 39:14.420
There's a lot of clubs in the area.

39:14.540 --> 39:15.600
There's a lot of nightlife.

39:15.740 --> 39:18.620
So if you really like to go out, like I know a bunch of us went out after Hope,

39:18.920 --> 39:19.780
then there's plenty to do.

39:19.860 --> 39:23.540
You can't go in there in your cut-up jeans and your black heavy metal T-shirt.

39:24.220 --> 39:27.320
And it's going to cost you probably like 10 bucks a drink inside there.

39:27.400 --> 39:30.260
And they reek of bad cologne and cheap perfume.

39:30.440 --> 39:34.180
And there's a lot of stupid girls with huge knockers and no brains.

39:34.280 --> 39:36.480
But, I mean, if that's your thing, then you're solid.

39:36.620 --> 39:36.880
Wait a minute.

39:37.720 --> 39:40.680
Who in the world that's not their thing?

39:40.880 --> 39:42.380
Girls with big tits and low brains.

39:42.840 --> 39:44.140
I mean, isn't that everybody's thing?

39:44.960 --> 39:47.380
Kind of, but when a girl asks me what I do for a living,

39:47.480 --> 39:50.440
I don't want to get that dog being shown a card trick double blink.

39:50.520 --> 39:50.960
You know what I mean?

39:52.300 --> 39:53.060
Are you kidding?

39:53.360 --> 39:54.540
Dude, that's the money shot.

39:54.620 --> 39:55.500
What are you talking about?

39:56.640 --> 39:57.500
That's the money shot.

39:57.500 --> 39:59.140
I like a girl that can blow my mind, too.

39:59.560 --> 40:01.400
That's the money shot before the money shot.

40:01.700 --> 40:04.060
That's when you know you've got them right there.

40:05.280 --> 40:05.640
Yeah.

40:05.900 --> 40:07.960
Hey, baby, do you know what TCP stands for?

40:08.480 --> 40:09.000
Blink, blink.

40:09.180 --> 40:09.420
Blink.

40:09.420 --> 40:10.320
What are you doing later?

40:11.820 --> 40:12.180
Shit.

40:12.180 --> 40:14.860
Oh, man, that is definitely the money shot.

40:15.620 --> 40:16.380
Oh, okay.

40:16.620 --> 40:17.700
Well, so, you know what?

40:17.720 --> 40:21.960
This does sound, we kind of said earlier about comparing it to Shmoo as far as the ticket prices.

40:22.240 --> 40:23.880
Is this kind of like a ShmooCon West?

40:23.980 --> 40:25.020
Have you been to ShmooCon before?

40:25.440 --> 40:25.920
Yeah, yeah.

40:26.020 --> 40:27.260
Shmoo, I went to the last one.

40:27.360 --> 40:28.400
Hopefully I'll be going to the next one.

40:28.580 --> 40:29.900
I think you can break it down.

40:30.160 --> 40:32.880
Like, in terms of similarities, they were of similar cost.

40:33.260 --> 40:34.480
The lineups were very similar.

40:34.480 --> 40:36.380
A lot of the same presenters were there.

40:36.500 --> 40:40.720
It's not giving the same talks and very similar technical level of content.

40:40.720 --> 40:43.220
And the crowd sizes were pretty much the same.

40:43.740 --> 40:50.820
The difference would be San Diego's weather was a lot, a lot nicer than D.C. in early, you know, in late winter, early January, whenever it was.

40:50.980 --> 40:51.260
Right.

40:51.940 --> 40:53.580
D.C. has got a lot more history.

40:53.580 --> 41:02.500
And now I'm from San Diego, so maybe being in D.C., they're just like, oh, cool, that's, you know, this guy was hung here and we lost this right there.

41:02.580 --> 41:04.160
And our liberties were stolen from us here.

41:04.440 --> 41:07.040
And I find that a bit more interesting.

41:07.040 --> 41:11.820
So, you know, there's something to be said about a conference in your hometown versus the one that's not.

41:11.920 --> 41:14.100
It's not as exotic, but it's way more comfortable.

41:16.000 --> 41:20.080
Well, yeah, I guess it's probably a, I guess a general travel.

41:20.200 --> 41:22.140
I mean, if you live someplace, you kind of get used to it.

41:22.160 --> 41:24.860
But I, you said earlier, I am a baseball guy.

41:24.960 --> 41:27.400
I would definitely take in a Padres game while I'm there if I could.

41:27.400 --> 41:30.860
And, frankly, right now with the NFL going on, I try to take in a Charger.

41:30.900 --> 41:31.980
How far is a Charger stadium?

41:32.980 --> 41:37.040
I would say, you know, with no traffic, a good 20 minutes from the station.

41:37.460 --> 41:38.920
And, Paul, you mentioned a trolley.

41:38.980 --> 41:41.140
So there's good public transportation in San Diego, too?

41:42.720 --> 41:43.560
Yes and no.

41:43.680 --> 41:51.480
Parts of it, downtown in Mission Valley where the stadium is, the football stadium, it's great to get back and forth.

41:51.480 --> 41:53.680
But if you want to go anywhere else, then you're kind of SOL.

41:54.240 --> 41:58.240
Like, to get to the beach, you would have to take three trolleys and two buses or whatever.

41:58.240 --> 42:07.440
Or, I think someone was telling me that they drove from my area to the Comic-Con on a bus, and it took them an hour, to put it in perspective.

42:07.840 --> 42:14.720
Yeah, see, maybe if Comic-Con was there the same weekend or back-to-back or something, I'd work out a week there for a trip.

42:14.800 --> 42:15.540
That would be kind of cool.

42:15.940 --> 42:16.620
Yeah, definitely.

42:17.120 --> 42:18.680
Yeah, boy, that's a long trip for me.

42:18.680 --> 42:28.120
I'll tell you what, let's go down the lineup at all the different presenters and topics from TorCon 8, it was, correct?

42:28.800 --> 42:30.500
Yes, TorCon 8.

42:30.620 --> 42:31.100
TorCon 8, okay.

42:31.100 --> 42:34.780
The theme was called Bits and Bytes this year, and last year it was Smoke and Mirrors.

42:34.780 --> 42:44.240
Yeah, and actually, one of the coolest things, it was one of the most awesome things, especially about the website as I was reading up on it, is their CFP.

42:44.340 --> 42:46.960
All their call for paper responses were awesome.

42:47.080 --> 42:48.100
They were so cool.

42:49.280 --> 42:54.340
You can go to the website itself, TorCon.org, and read, go down the list of presentations and speakers.

42:54.340 --> 42:58.040
I don't know, I have the exact URL, but you know what, you're a hacker, you can find it.

42:59.900 --> 43:07.560
There's a little letter C next to the speaker's name or whatever that shows their call for papers, and I thought some of those, I had a blast just reading those.

43:07.760 --> 43:16.720
All this old school glory, I don't know if that's like a TorCon tradition, if that was just a few people decided to have some fun, if they, I don't know how they came up to me.

43:16.780 --> 43:21.420
It was very, what's the word, clever, artistic, I don't know.

43:21.420 --> 43:31.160
It was, I thought it was really cool, it wasn't your typical, you know, answer these questions, and it was, you know, like, for example, filling out DEF CON, let me tell you, and you can probably back me up on this one.

43:31.460 --> 43:45.300
Filling out the DEF CON call for paper, you've got to answer all these freaking questions in like two or three pages worth of shit, and send them your presentations and stuff, and it was just so, I don't know what the word.

43:45.300 --> 43:46.640
It was a 20 to 30 minute process.

43:46.860 --> 43:50.600
Yeah, it was just so plastic and so robotic, I don't know.

43:50.600 --> 44:02.640
And this one seemed a lot more fun in it, and let me tell you, if there's anybody listening from TorCon, that made me go through and read a lot of this stuff on the website, because I just enjoyed looking at that.

44:02.700 --> 44:09.680
So thumbs up for that, I thought that was cool, that was unique, that was something different I'd never seen done before, and I, for one, appreciated it, I thought that was cool.

44:09.680 --> 44:18.460
Now, as far as the presenters themselves, I think you mentioned this earlier, but I also, this caught my attention as I read through the list.

44:18.700 --> 44:29.080
Again, I did not attend, so I'm pretty much going to throw all these questions off onto you, so be prepared for all these, because I was not able to attend all the way out there on the west side.

44:29.900 --> 44:30.420
West side?

44:30.740 --> 44:30.980
All right.

44:30.980 --> 44:32.460
I'm sitting down, and my pants are off.

44:32.640 --> 44:33.240
All right.

44:33.240 --> 44:35.800
Well, I thought we went through that before the show started.

44:35.860 --> 44:39.600
When we do our warm-up, we walk through the show notes, you're supposed to have your pants off then.

44:40.260 --> 44:40.780
Oh, yeah, yeah.

44:40.840 --> 44:43.320
Well, I just figured now was a good time to let you know in case you were done.

44:43.540 --> 44:44.600
Oh, gotcha, gotcha.

44:44.800 --> 44:45.100
Gotcha.

44:45.340 --> 44:45.620
All right.

44:45.620 --> 44:53.480
So, a couple of the presenters and presentations, I noticed, seem to be duplicates from other conferences.

44:54.200 --> 44:58.620
So, let me walk down a couple of these and tell me, did you see it, or had you seen it before?

44:58.700 --> 45:02.900
Did another one, like, there was Black Ops from Dan Kaminsky was there again.

45:02.980 --> 45:06.800
Now, he gives this at DEFCON for sure every year.

45:06.800 --> 45:07.420
And Black Hat.

45:07.880 --> 45:08.280
I'm sorry?

45:08.760 --> 45:09.120
And Black Hat.

45:09.120 --> 45:09.820
And Black Hat.

45:09.920 --> 45:10.160
Right.

45:10.280 --> 45:12.220
Now, is it the same thing?

45:12.260 --> 45:13.360
Did it change a little bit?

45:13.360 --> 45:17.900
But I couldn't imagine it would change in such a short time frame, not very drastically anyway.

45:19.500 --> 45:23.880
He definitely does the same format in terms of how the presentation was laid out.

45:23.980 --> 45:24.620
Now, let me say this.

45:24.680 --> 45:28.220
I did not get to see it at TourCon, but I have seen it at Black Hat.

45:28.280 --> 45:30.960
I did see it at DEFCON, and I think I saw it at ShmooCon as well.

45:32.060 --> 45:37.620
It's really interesting, but I just felt comfortable that I knew what that talk was going to be about,

45:37.620 --> 45:41.420
and so I didn't have to see it at this time, which made seeing the other talks a little easier.

45:41.420 --> 45:43.860
Right, and that's kind of what I'm getting at.

45:43.920 --> 45:47.340
It's one of those things where once you've seen it, you feel like, why should I go see it again?

45:47.540 --> 45:49.100
You're comfortable with what it's about.

45:49.660 --> 45:53.160
Now, I'm sure, don't get me wrong, I am sure that it changes a little bit,

45:53.200 --> 45:57.400
because it's always called Black Ops every time I've ever seen it.

45:57.420 --> 45:58.580
But I'm sure the content changes.

45:58.680 --> 46:03.400
He can't sit and milk the same topic and content for a couple years at multiple conferences.

46:03.520 --> 46:07.700
I'm sure it's changing and adapting, and each time, it's something new added to it.

46:07.700 --> 46:12.160
I think he looks at different protocols each time around.

46:12.340 --> 46:13.800
Like, each year, he'll look at something new.

46:14.040 --> 46:15.880
Like, last year, he was doing a lot of cool stuff with DNS,

46:16.560 --> 46:20.520
and I think this year he was doing something with, I want to say, SSL or SSH.

46:20.520 --> 46:30.260
So if you ever see the Black Ops listed, then basically go and see what the CFP tells about it,

46:30.260 --> 46:34.920
see what the description of it is, and compare it to the one that you may have seen in the past,

46:34.940 --> 46:37.900
or the one that was presented in an earlier conference, and see if there are any differences,

46:38.100 --> 46:41.040
and if there's something that you're interested in before you go see that one.

46:41.040 --> 46:47.900
Right, like, he'll usually use his ridiculous bandwidth, and we'll scam the entire internet for,

46:48.420 --> 46:50.980
hold on, there's aliens or something invading my house.

46:51.240 --> 46:53.540
Yeah, I think we kind of heard that in the background there.

46:54.920 --> 46:56.640
No, you want the guy next door.

46:56.820 --> 46:57.560
No, no, I'm good.

46:58.680 --> 46:59.980
Put your pants back on first.

47:00.420 --> 47:00.860
Right.

47:02.340 --> 47:02.740
Okay.

47:03.040 --> 47:05.180
This time around, he was talking about SSLs.

47:05.180 --> 47:09.820
But he's got this ridiculous network at his hands, I want to say Prolexa,

47:09.960 --> 47:12.640
I don't know if that's his network, or if that's Herpes Cree or something,

47:13.260 --> 47:17.240
but he's got just retarded bandwidth, and he'll scan the entire internet,

47:17.680 --> 47:22.960
like every web server, or DNS server, and just get these ungodly results

47:22.960 --> 47:26.100
that he likes to put into really cool graphs that look like, you know,

47:26.140 --> 47:27.520
coral arrangements or something.

47:27.740 --> 47:27.960
Hmm.

47:28.920 --> 47:29.740
Or like neurons.

47:30.620 --> 47:31.500
Cool stuff.

47:32.460 --> 47:34.880
Yeah, but unfortunately I didn't see that one this time.

47:35.180 --> 47:35.460
Right.

47:36.120 --> 47:37.080
All right, well, let's see.

47:37.120 --> 47:40.660
Another one that I noticed on there that I see quite frequently was Simple Nomad,

47:40.740 --> 47:43.160
and he speaks at a lot of different conferences.

47:44.960 --> 47:49.780
I know for sure he was at the InterZone that I went to this last,

47:49.860 --> 47:52.120
what was it, InterZone 5, I think, 4?

47:52.360 --> 47:53.040
I think it was 5.

47:54.380 --> 47:55.900
I've got to look that up.

47:55.900 --> 47:59.040
But he's like the keynote speaker at InterZone the last couple of years,

47:59.220 --> 48:02.280
and he, again, makes the rounds at a lot of different conferences.

48:02.460 --> 48:03.400
Did you make it to his?

48:03.400 --> 48:07.300
You know, I didn't make it to this one either.

48:07.700 --> 48:09.840
He goes real early in the morning, right?

48:10.080 --> 48:10.440
Yes.

48:10.560 --> 48:11.200
Yeah, why?

48:11.300 --> 48:12.200
Why did he do that?

48:12.380 --> 48:12.780
I don't know.

48:12.920 --> 48:14.140
That always gets me to.

48:14.340 --> 48:17.720
Like when my friends end up presenting at like 10 a.m. or something,

48:17.820 --> 48:21.140
I always just have to, like this happened at Black Ratchet at Hope last year.

48:21.160 --> 48:24.440
I'm like, listen, man, I'm sorry, but my hotel's up there.

48:24.540 --> 48:27.640
I'd have to get up so early to get up and get down here in time.

48:27.980 --> 48:28.740
I'm sorry, man.

48:28.740 --> 48:30.000
I'm just not going to make it.

48:30.700 --> 48:31.040
Yeah.

48:32.780 --> 48:33.380
So, yeah.

48:33.440 --> 48:36.680
Well, his talk, he, I've seen his talks before,

48:36.680 --> 48:41.800
and I don't think he specifically ever knows what exactly he's going to talk about when he goes up there.

48:42.140 --> 48:46.860
I think he's just got an open-ended ramp permit that he carries around with him at each conference,

48:46.980 --> 48:48.200
and he's always entertaining.

48:48.720 --> 48:49.620
The guy's a riot.

48:50.320 --> 48:50.760
Yeah.

48:50.760 --> 48:58.860
He gave a presentation last year about hacking wireless while on airplanes using default insecurities in Windows XP,

48:59.680 --> 49:02.880
and it was a really interesting talk, but it brings up a point.

49:02.980 --> 49:07.700
I wonder how long Civil Nomad's going to be able to travel around like this before he gets added to a no-fly list.

49:07.960 --> 49:08.320
Yeah.

49:08.320 --> 49:11.500
The guy, he doesn't pull any punches when he talks to people.

49:11.500 --> 49:18.060
Yeah, I'm not sure what he's referring to with the airlines there, but I travel a lot.

49:18.060 --> 49:18.120
Oh, okay.

49:18.120 --> 49:19.220
I can go to the real fast fuel.

49:19.220 --> 49:24.020
Yeah, I travel a lot for my job, and, yeah, I'm always scanning through the airports,

49:24.320 --> 49:29.580
and even on the plane, we can be, you know, 30,000 feet in the air or whatever,

49:29.840 --> 49:35.560
and I'm working on my laptop, and somebody back there has always got their wireless unsecured,

49:35.660 --> 49:39.420
and I'm just doing peer-to-peer browsing through their hard drive and stuff,

49:39.420 --> 49:40.900
so it happens all the time.

49:40.900 --> 49:43.440
Well, it should be talking about ad hoc wireless networks,

49:43.560 --> 49:46.220
and even if they're not in the same work group as you,

49:46.500 --> 49:50.360
that you can sniff the wire once you've connected to them ad hoc to get their IP address,

49:50.480 --> 49:51.860
and then you change your subnet to that,

49:52.280 --> 49:55.740
and then from there you can actually do any standard network-level attack against them

49:55.740 --> 50:01.060
while they're sipping their $13 coffee or their $19 vodka Red Bulls

50:01.060 --> 50:02.220
or whatever it is in your plans.

50:02.600 --> 50:03.000
Yep.

50:03.340 --> 50:03.680
Yep.

50:03.840 --> 50:04.440
Good stuff.

50:04.440 --> 50:04.920
Good stuff.

50:06.040 --> 50:06.400
All right.

50:06.500 --> 50:07.080
Well, let's see.

50:07.120 --> 50:10.000
Here's another one that was a duplicate from DEF CON,

50:10.000 --> 50:12.420
as well as InterZone as well.

50:12.500 --> 50:17.680
My good friend Linux advanced Windows Firewall Subversion,

50:17.880 --> 50:19.000
which was a great talk.

50:19.100 --> 50:20.400
Again, I saw it at InterZone.

50:20.540 --> 50:23.440
He again gave it at DEF CON, added a little bit more to it at DEF CON,

50:23.540 --> 50:27.220
but gave that at DEF CON, and now again at TOR CON.

50:27.220 --> 50:31.900
So, again, I'm sure he's adding a little bit of stuff as he continued his hacking and research and stuff,

50:31.960 --> 50:36.440
but I thought that was very cool to see Linux because this is a guy that I think is really going places,

50:36.560 --> 50:38.800
so I really like supporting him.

50:38.960 --> 50:42.820
So it was good to see him out there presenting this at several places.

50:42.980 --> 50:44.220
Did you, by chance, make it?

50:44.220 --> 50:45.640
I'm going to ask you this for every one of these.

50:45.720 --> 50:46.940
Did you make it or not make it?

50:46.940 --> 50:51.720
Well, let's just assume for the most part that I'm an alcoholic and didn't make it to any of these

50:51.720 --> 50:53.120
until I tell you otherwise.

50:53.240 --> 50:54.580
Okay, okay. Sounds good.

50:54.600 --> 50:57.720
I made it to probably five talks, including mine,

50:57.940 --> 51:01.740
so there's four other talks that I think I made it to, but they were really good.

51:01.740 --> 51:05.580
Well, and that's what happens to me, too, is especially if you are one of the speakers,

51:06.040 --> 51:11.300
you spend some time polishing your stuff up and trying to get ready for it and all that kind of stuff,

51:11.400 --> 51:14.420
and you might be up late editing your slides at the last minute

51:14.420 --> 51:18.180
and not making it until the butt crack of noon the next day.

51:18.320 --> 51:21.360
You know, I'm not getting up at the butt crack of dawn to come see somebody's talk.

51:21.420 --> 51:21.940
No offense.

51:22.340 --> 51:26.560
Almost nobody on the planet am I going to get up that early to come see their talk.

51:27.500 --> 51:28.120
Not going to happen.

51:28.120 --> 51:32.400
Yeah. At Hope, we didn't even start working on our presentation until 4 in the morning

51:32.400 --> 51:37.780
and didn't get it finished until 8 a.m., which is two hours before we were supposed to go on.

51:38.120 --> 51:41.560
Yeah, you know, and actually I'm probably exception to that, I'll admit.

51:41.700 --> 51:48.660
I'm very anal about having my presentation done not only before but, like, months before.

51:48.660 --> 51:51.900
I don't like sending in a CFP.

51:52.400 --> 51:56.260
I don't like committing to present somewhere unless I have it done already,

51:56.260 --> 51:58.260
or at least 75% done.

51:58.820 --> 52:01.680
I don't want to commit to somebody and then something happened at the last minute

52:01.680 --> 52:04.900
and I'm the asshole that bails out the day before or something like that.

52:05.120 --> 52:07.420
So I like to always do mine ahead of time, yeah.

52:08.280 --> 52:10.400
Or show up and half-ass it, you know.

52:11.840 --> 52:13.660
So, let's see.

52:13.700 --> 52:17.660
Another friend of ours, Scott Moulton, he definitely presented this at DEF CON.

52:17.740 --> 52:18.980
I saw it at DEF CON.

52:19.300 --> 52:22.460
Actually, Verbal and I sat and watched this when it was, I think it was Verbal and I.

52:23.220 --> 52:24.040
Was it Ratchet and I?

52:24.100 --> 52:26.820
Anyway, the hacking hard drives for data recovery.

52:28.600 --> 52:29.520
Very good friend of ours.

52:29.580 --> 52:30.960
And this guy, I don't know if anybody knows this,

52:31.040 --> 52:33.220
he was the first guy that was ever arrested for port scanning,

52:33.780 --> 52:34.500
which is kind of a neat story.

52:34.500 --> 52:34.780
I didn't know that.

52:34.800 --> 52:35.540
That's really interesting.

52:35.660 --> 52:36.760
Yeah, that's a neat story.

52:37.560 --> 52:40.180
I bump into him occasionally at conferences.

52:40.400 --> 52:43.480
Actually, I had bumped into him before and didn't recognize him.

52:43.480 --> 52:50.600
So, from now on, he's somebody that I'm going to look out to stop in and say hello and talk to.

52:50.680 --> 52:52.740
But he'll tell you some good stories, too.

52:52.840 --> 52:54.460
He's been around for a while.

52:54.620 --> 52:59.460
And his presentation, I'm pretty sure this was exactly the same one at DEF CON

52:59.460 --> 53:04.260
because it's not exactly a technology that changes a whole lot in a couple of months.

53:04.260 --> 53:07.800
But his presentation was good because he didn't do the PowerPoint thing.

53:07.900 --> 53:10.540
He did the slide completely in Flash.

53:11.100 --> 53:14.420
So, it was a completely Flash animated presentation, which was really cool.

53:16.020 --> 53:22.380
So, as far as his flair, I guess, was pretty good on his presentation, as well as the content.

53:24.280 --> 53:25.320
Privacy is dead.

53:25.480 --> 53:26.280
Get over it.

53:26.400 --> 53:29.820
Now, this was definitely one that was from Hope 6 this year.

53:29.820 --> 53:32.780
This is the one from Stephen Rambam, or Rambam.

53:32.880 --> 53:33.940
I'm pretty sure it's Rambam.

53:34.020 --> 53:35.120
I'm not sure how you pronounce it.

53:35.160 --> 53:36.140
I think it's Rambam.

53:36.600 --> 53:41.780
Where he got arrested just before he was able to give this at the 6th Hope, or Hope No. 6,

53:41.840 --> 53:44.120
or whatever the hell they called it, in New York this past year.

53:45.520 --> 53:50.220
I think the feds came and busted him an hour, half hour before he was about to give this presentation.

53:50.980 --> 53:53.460
And I'm not sure of the backstory.

53:53.580 --> 53:57.680
I've heard conflicting stories, actually, of whether it was about this presentation itself.

53:57.680 --> 54:02.060
I think it was actually that he got busted for impersonating a federal officer.

54:02.200 --> 54:07.520
I think when he was going on one of his, when he was doing some reconnaissance to gather information.

54:07.700 --> 54:12.480
And I don't know if it was anything to do with this particular presentation, or just unrelated.

54:13.040 --> 54:16.260
And they just did this as a publicity timing thing to stop him.

54:16.900 --> 54:20.600
But he did not give this at the 6th Hope.

54:20.680 --> 54:23.120
So, apparently, he gave it at TorCon.

54:23.120 --> 54:30.360
Now, I heard that, what you were just saying, that he has, it was unrelated to his presentation

54:30.360 --> 54:34.600
at Hope 6, but that they did need, they got him there because they knew we'd be there.

54:34.680 --> 54:38.640
And, yeah, they probably wanted to make some headlines and earn those hard-earned dollars.

54:39.380 --> 54:41.620
And I didn't see it this year.

54:41.980 --> 54:47.400
I noticed, though, that in Hope 5, he gave a similar talk called Privacy, Not Dead, Not What It Used To Be.

54:47.400 --> 54:52.060
And that's at the-fifth-hope.org, and they've got the audio here, too.

54:52.840 --> 54:57.420
And I've heard this before, and it's really chilling stuff, what he manages to uncover about you,

54:57.700 --> 55:03.820
just using public available information or things that he has access to, or at least knows about as a private detective.

55:04.480 --> 55:08.840
What bothered me about this talk, though, was that he dropped all these docs on this guy,

55:08.880 --> 55:11.020
and he didn't really talk about how he did it.

55:12.320 --> 55:13.240
You know what I mean?

55:13.520 --> 55:16.480
That's cool, but it came across as a shock talk.

55:16.480 --> 55:18.780
Right, right, I mean, people want to know how.

55:18.920 --> 55:23.300
I mean, just showing up, here's a screenshot of a website that I hacked.

55:24.140 --> 55:27.720
Well, that's cool, but give me a little bit more to go on, you know?

55:28.480 --> 55:33.100
Yeah, otherwise it's a friggin' card trick, you know, what does it matter?

55:33.500 --> 55:38.820
Well, if he has a PI license, he's got a lot more access to things, too, which makes it a lot easier.

55:39.240 --> 55:42.580
And I think this is, the one he gave at the Fifth Hope, if I remember it right,

55:42.580 --> 55:47.500
he's the one that I think he asked for a volunteer willing to give up their stuff.

55:47.620 --> 55:49.000
I think it was Rick Dakin.

55:49.140 --> 55:56.380
I think our friend Rick that gave up his information was willing to have it put out there, if I remember right.

55:56.420 --> 55:58.060
So, yeah, I know which one you're talking about.

55:58.060 --> 56:05.620
I wonder how much different this one was from, this one being the one from Hope 6 and Torcon from the one at Hope 5.

56:06.340 --> 56:10.620
But, again, maybe we can get the video from that somehow.

56:11.240 --> 56:11.740
Yeah, hopefully.

56:12.140 --> 56:12.340
Yeah.

56:12.340 --> 56:16.340
There was one on the evolving art of fuzzing.

56:16.880 --> 56:21.380
I don't know if it's the same one from DEF CON, but there was certainly one at DEF CON.

56:22.360 --> 56:27.020
And, actually, I heard that was like my buzzword at DEF CON that I heard more than anything was fuzzing.

56:27.580 --> 56:29.000
So, I thought that was kind of interesting.

56:29.140 --> 56:31.420
That was what seemed to be the big topic of interest.

56:31.980 --> 56:35.980
And I know there was a lot more that I couldn't remember that were also duplicates.

56:36.880 --> 56:41.560
These particular ones caught my attention because I had attended or seen or heard of most of these.

56:41.560 --> 56:43.660
Actually, I had attended most of these at previous conferences.

56:44.740 --> 56:49.660
So, there were probably a few others that I didn't recognize because I did not attend them or see them.

56:49.880 --> 56:53.040
So, I didn't go down through the list purposely looking for them.

56:53.120 --> 56:55.600
But that many jumped out at me as being duplicates.

56:55.760 --> 56:58.240
So, I'm not sure what to think about that.

56:58.340 --> 57:06.180
I mean, if I were, if I had attended, which, you know, I do attend at least one or two conferences a year, you know, or I try to anyway.

57:06.540 --> 57:10.040
I've already seen maybe a third of these presentations.

57:10.040 --> 57:16.140
So, I'm not sure that I would, that's another thing that would maybe detract me from going to TORCON.

57:17.100 --> 57:20.760
Or from buying your tickets while in advance when maybe you've already seen all the talks.

57:20.940 --> 57:21.160
Right.

57:21.300 --> 57:22.440
And actually, that's a good point.

57:22.520 --> 57:26.120
Do they have these talks, do they have the speakers listed that far in advance?

57:26.760 --> 57:27.520
Usually not.

57:27.620 --> 57:29.740
Not when they first start the pre-sale tickets.

57:29.940 --> 57:32.700
It's generally, hey, it costs a lot of money to get people in.

57:32.780 --> 57:34.580
If you want a good con, buy a ticket now.

57:34.580 --> 57:38.940
Yeah, and I'm not committing money that early, and I don't know who the presenters are, period, in any case.

57:39.960 --> 57:40.360
Right.

57:40.580 --> 57:41.380
Yeah, forget that.

57:42.040 --> 57:48.640
Well, I mean, at least ShmooCon's got more of a history in TORCON's getting there to where they do get good names.

57:48.840 --> 57:56.080
And if you just trust them a little bit and you're willing to eat 50 bucks maybe, then at the very least get your name in there and secure yourself a seat.

57:56.080 --> 57:59.640
Yeah, certainly if I was in your situation, I would do it the day they came out.

57:59.960 --> 58:05.220
Because I do, I respect what they've done from looking at the website and the organization they've put into it.

58:05.540 --> 58:07.620
Definitely looks like something I would enjoy.

58:07.780 --> 58:13.460
So if I was a little bit more convenient, I certainly, certainly would go out of my way to make sure I made it to it.

58:13.560 --> 58:19.700
But when I'm over here on the east side, and that's a long flight over there and back.

58:19.700 --> 58:19.960
Boom.

58:20.220 --> 58:21.500
Yeah, and all the other costs.

58:21.560 --> 58:23.500
Now, I'm going to crash with you now that I know you're that close.

58:23.960 --> 58:25.200
Yeah, man, I'm real close.

58:25.200 --> 58:27.520
That takes out the hotel cost of things.

58:29.340 --> 58:34.820
And I mean, if you really want to make it to these conferences but you just can't quite swing all the costs,

58:34.920 --> 58:39.400
there's things you can do like, like you said, crash with somebody that you know that lives in the area or has a hotel room.

58:39.680 --> 58:44.760
But what I've been doing is just, you know, taking a chance and trying to submit any talks that I think that would be worthwhile.

58:44.760 --> 58:50.380
And if I get accepted to that, would that talk pretty much dictate whether or not I'm going to spend the rest of the money.

58:51.360 --> 58:51.720
Right, right.

58:51.800 --> 58:52.980
And that's the funny thing.

58:52.980 --> 58:55.360
I think I mentioned this earlier before at DEF CON this year.

58:55.420 --> 58:56.520
I did not submit a talk.

58:57.040 --> 59:01.640
And it was the first time I'd actually had to pay for a badge to get into a conference, which was kind of a strange feeling.

59:01.640 --> 59:11.260
So, but that still doesn't, that still doesn't, I was going to say, that still doesn't take away from the fact that you've got to pay for a hotel and other stuff.

59:12.660 --> 59:14.200
I mean, some conferences will pay your whole...

59:14.200 --> 59:14.640
We're hackers.

59:14.900 --> 59:15.160
Yeah.

59:15.280 --> 59:16.340
We're hackers, we're resourceful.

59:16.420 --> 59:17.000
Yeah, exactly.

59:17.160 --> 59:18.880
We'll stack 20 people in a room.

59:18.940 --> 59:19.640
It's no problem.

59:21.100 --> 59:21.460
Seriously.

59:21.460 --> 59:22.940
With no pants.

59:22.940 --> 59:36.140
One talk that I didn't see you mention because it didn't quite go down the way it was supposed to was one from Johnny Cash and David Maynard that turned out to cause quite a bit of hype on the global intro web.

59:36.360 --> 59:37.400
That's the OSX thing?

59:38.100 --> 59:39.240
Yeah, that is the OSX thing.

59:39.380 --> 59:42.960
For those of you who don't know, they presented it first to Black Cat and then in DEF CON.

59:43.360 --> 59:49.120
They had figured out some really interesting things about drivers, the drivers themselves for wireless cars specifically.

59:49.740 --> 59:55.840
And they found a way with certain drivers on certain vendors to actually pop back a shell as an administrator.

59:56.160 --> 01:00:02.140
And for flash and awe, they went ahead and used the OSX drivers for the airport cars.

01:00:02.740 --> 01:00:05.700
And they weren't able to actually show the exploit there.

01:00:05.700 --> 01:00:09.160
They were really concerned about releasing it to a room full of hackers with wireless snippers.

01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:13.740
So they shot a video of the exploit working from a few different angles.

01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:17.140
And they showed the video at Black Cat and at DEF CON.

01:00:17.260 --> 01:00:22.100
And I couldn't help but feel like I was watching, you know, David Blaine or David Copperfield or Chris Angel or something.

01:00:22.580 --> 01:00:26.320
You know, nothing behind the laptop, nothing on the other side of the laptop.

01:00:26.560 --> 01:00:29.460
But when I pressed this keypad, root shell.

01:00:29.860 --> 01:00:30.300
Right.

01:00:30.300 --> 01:00:36.000
So anyway, they got a lot of flack for not talking about how the exploit actually worked.

01:00:36.140 --> 01:00:37.380
And so they said, fine, well, you know what?

01:00:37.420 --> 01:00:41.360
We released the vulnerabilities to SecureWorks and to Apple and everyone else.

01:00:41.540 --> 01:00:44.640
And no one's talking about Apache, but everybody wants to know about this problem.

01:00:44.720 --> 01:00:45.900
It's time to go open with it.

01:00:45.900 --> 01:00:49.500
And Apple and SecureWorks got involved.

01:00:49.680 --> 01:00:55.180
And they basically had an injunction filed and basically said, if you go give us a presentation, we're going to sue you back in the Stone Age.

01:00:56.200 --> 01:00:58.660
And that didn't seem to bother Johnny Cash too much.

01:00:58.700 --> 01:01:03.660
But at the last minute, it looks like David got, well, we don't know what happened to David.

01:01:03.740 --> 01:01:05.420
But for whatever reason, he didn't show up.

01:01:05.420 --> 01:01:12.140
And so instead of giving that talk, Johnny Cash had an eight-minute speech about the reasons he wasn't unable to give it.

01:01:12.560 --> 01:01:22.540
And there's a video of this up, actually, at tinyearl.com slash N-M-L-F-E dot Nancy, Michael, Leroy, Frank, Edward.

01:01:23.180 --> 01:01:25.120
And he looks pretty pissed off.

01:01:25.160 --> 01:01:26.700
And I think he dropped a couple of squares in there.

01:01:27.140 --> 01:01:31.540
And one thing they ended up doing instead was having a few, like, 20-minute speed talks to fill up the time.

01:01:31.540 --> 01:01:38.220
I think they had two or three guys go up there and give just last-knitted, impromptu, you know, mercenary talks about this and that and the other.

01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:41.020
But that would have been really, really interesting.

01:01:41.160 --> 01:01:44.200
I think we may see some of those details coming out within the next couple weeks.

01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:45.920
That would be cool to see that.

01:01:46.040 --> 01:01:47.760
And, yeah, this is one I remember.

01:01:49.560 --> 01:01:59.380
This is the thing where, like, everybody, it made bigger headlines, I guess, on the global interweb because it was the first vulnerability for OSX and whatnot.

01:01:59.380 --> 01:02:02.820
But it actually was an issue with the driver.

01:02:03.060 --> 01:02:06.780
It was not necessarily a Macintosh or an OSX issue.

01:02:07.040 --> 01:02:12.060
It was with the driver and the vendor who made the driver, if this is the same one I'm thinking of.

01:02:12.580 --> 01:02:12.840
Correct.

01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:17.680
Yeah, the hardware is the same, regardless if you're running Linux or OSX or Windows XP.

01:02:17.680 --> 01:02:26.080
So they just chose to demo it in OSX because, what, it was a little bit cooler that way because it works in OSX and there aren't that many exploits for OSX?

01:02:26.320 --> 01:02:30.900
I'm pretty sure that's the reason they wanted to get the most sizzle out of their steak, so they chose OSX.

01:02:31.160 --> 01:02:35.880
And I think they did a good job because everyone seems to think that this is an OSX problem, but it's not.

01:02:35.880 --> 01:02:37.440
Yeah, it's not at all.

01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:40.760
And actually, hey, that goes back to our email earlier.

01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:49.860
There's another reason to have the Macintosh or to have the Apple hardware and get OSX, but not $300 or $400 more worth, not for that.

01:02:50.440 --> 01:02:50.760
Right.

01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:56.800
Let's see, we've got about maybe 20 minutes, I think, on time, somewhere thereabouts.

01:02:56.800 --> 01:03:08.900
So let's move on to a couple more of these talks because this next batch of talks I was glancing at just frankly confused the hell out of me because I don't know what the hell they were about.

01:03:09.060 --> 01:03:09.940
I don't know what they were.

01:03:09.940 --> 01:03:18.940
Remember, like, for example, these first three I'll put together and lump together, one was called – these are going to be even hard to read because I'm not sure.

01:03:19.680 --> 01:03:23.740
It's called Loving the LOLs and the LOL is my will.

01:03:23.960 --> 01:03:27.700
Or I don't know if I'm supposed to say Loving the LOLs, the LOL is my will.

01:03:28.860 --> 01:03:30.220
What the hell?

01:03:30.380 --> 01:03:30.700
What?

01:03:31.100 --> 01:03:39.700
All right, so there was another one called LOLphone or LOLphone, Exploiting Trust and Social Phone Networks.

01:03:39.940 --> 01:03:46.460
And I'm like, okay, the LOL thing is annoying, but exploiting social – what's a social phone network?

01:03:46.560 --> 01:03:47.320
I go to look it up.

01:03:47.680 --> 01:03:51.500
I read the description and the CFP, and I still don't know what the hell that was about.

01:03:52.060 --> 01:03:59.700
And then there was a third one in the LOL trilogy, I guess, called High Tech Code and the Low Tech LOLs, LOLs.

01:04:00.260 --> 01:04:01.580
Again, I read this.

01:04:01.660 --> 01:04:03.140
I don't know what these were about.

01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.780
I know they were hella annoying trying to read it and figure out what they were about.

01:04:06.780 --> 01:04:11.340
They could have been great talks, but quite honestly, I couldn't have any less interest in this.

01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:13.180
Somebody – I don't know.

01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:18.740
I mean, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun, I guess, but I've got to have some information to see if I'm going to attend any of this stuff.

01:04:18.820 --> 01:04:22.880
And based on what I saw, yeah, I'm going to LOL right past those talks.

01:04:22.880 --> 01:04:28.520
You know, I read the title, and I just in my mind had said, oh, that's the LOL talk, okay.

01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:34.580
And I saw the LOL talk three times on the schedule, and I was like, wow, they're really beating this LOL thing into the ground.

01:04:34.820 --> 01:04:37.700
And I had no idea that they were different, so I just didn't even bother it.

01:04:37.800 --> 01:04:44.540
I mean, if you've got five lines to talk about what you're going to be presenting, if you can't convince me within five lines,

01:04:44.540 --> 01:04:50.080
if you can't even fucking make me understand kind of what you're talking about, then why am I going to waste an hour of my time?

01:04:50.680 --> 01:04:51.540
Yeah, I mean –

01:04:51.540 --> 01:04:52.700
But it could have been great.

01:04:52.760 --> 01:04:53.160
I don't know.

01:04:53.300 --> 01:04:53.420
Yeah.

01:04:53.420 --> 01:04:54.640
The talk may have been amazing.

01:04:54.860 --> 01:04:59.860
That's the thing is they really might have been, but because somebody didn't take it seriously, I guess, I don't know.

01:05:00.340 --> 01:05:03.840
If any of them are listening, I'm going to get some hate mail for that, but I'm just being honest.

01:05:03.900 --> 01:05:06.780
I wouldn't go see it if there's not enough information to tell me what it's about.

01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:07.620
What am I getting into?

01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:09.780
I mean, am I guaranteed to be lolling?

01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:11.120
Will I be raffling at your thing?

01:05:11.160 --> 01:05:12.080
Is this a comedy bit?

01:05:12.080 --> 01:05:14.180
I don't – I really don't know what I'm in for.

01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:15.280
I really don't.

01:05:16.040 --> 01:05:17.360
So whatever.

01:05:17.580 --> 01:05:17.980
I don't know.

01:05:18.500 --> 01:05:23.700
Another one under the confusing titles was elliptic curve algorithms.

01:05:24.500 --> 01:05:32.100
Now, this is just – that just seemed to be a strange topic for a hacking conference is what I thought, but it sounds like it could be interesting.

01:05:32.240 --> 01:05:40.680
I probably would go to that one and see what it is in the first few minutes because I like mathematics in general, so it kind of grabs my attention.

01:05:40.680 --> 01:05:42.000
I might go check that one out.

01:05:42.520 --> 01:05:47.720
But not only that, but out of all the CFPs, he wins my award for the best CFP.

01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:48.760
He was the favorite one.

01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:55.520
I thought his was the coolest one to read, so go to the website, elliptic curve algorithms, and check out the CFP that he released.

01:05:55.600 --> 01:05:57.020
I thought that was really, really cool.

01:05:59.040 --> 01:06:00.160
And, yeah, I guess that's it.

01:06:00.220 --> 01:06:04.060
And then the final one that made me – if anything made me lol, it was probably this one.

01:06:04.860 --> 01:06:06.500
Tron, he fights for the user.

01:06:07.500 --> 01:06:09.500
We have a Tron sighting, ladies and gentlemen.

01:06:09.620 --> 01:06:10.880
Tron is back in the scene.

01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:17.860
Actually, this was about a – at least this person put a description on there, which was kind of cool.

01:06:18.160 --> 01:06:23.440
It was an actual tool, an application, so they were going into some detail about that.

01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:28.320
But, you know, any reference to Tron is something that catches my eye.

01:06:29.520 --> 01:06:33.740
Now, there also were a couple of – not to say that the others were not interesting.

01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:34.780
Let me preface that.

01:06:34.780 --> 01:06:40.560
But there were a couple that really grabbed my attention that I definitely would have gone out of my way to see.

01:06:41.120 --> 01:06:44.620
The first one was called Breaking Ajax Web Applications.

01:06:45.580 --> 01:06:47.440
That is my area of interest.

01:06:47.600 --> 01:06:50.340
I like the software hacking side of things.

01:06:50.500 --> 01:06:56.120
I like breaking things apart, seeing how they work, seeing if they're well designed and thought out and all that kind of stuff.

01:06:56.400 --> 01:06:57.740
That's my level of interest.

01:06:57.740 --> 01:07:09.960
And in my opinion, this topic – and I think I've said this before, but I'll go on record saying it again – this topic, this whole Web 2.0, AJAX, JavaScript, all this stuff, front-end scripting stuff,

01:07:10.200 --> 01:07:14.740
hacking of these type of applications is going to rise tremendously over the next couple of years.

01:07:15.180 --> 01:07:25.220
More and more people are going on to the whole Web 2.0 cliche and whatnot, and there's so much code out there that you can read through and see how things are working and exploit.

01:07:25.220 --> 01:07:38.340
This is going to be a hot topic in the near future, especially with office applications going online through Web 2.0 stuff and lots of what they call SOA or service-oriented architecture.

01:07:40.400 --> 01:07:44.180
Instead of you buying the software, you're buying the service that you run over the Web.

01:07:44.240 --> 01:07:45.340
You don't have to install anything.

01:07:45.460 --> 01:07:47.420
You don't have to set up a server, hire admins.

01:07:47.860 --> 01:07:52.620
They'll do all that, and you just use your applications online remotely and stuff like that.

01:07:52.620 --> 01:08:00.420
All these type of things are going to be the future of business, not only just websites and fun stuff, but business as well,

01:08:00.480 --> 01:08:04.980
and I think this is going to be a huge, huge point of security over the coming years.

01:08:05.060 --> 01:08:08.320
So I definitely would have gone to this one if I had made it.

01:08:08.320 --> 01:08:12.500
It looks really interesting.

01:08:13.180 --> 01:08:16.980
Unfortunately, that was one of the ones I was researching through.

01:08:17.680 --> 01:08:18.540
Yeah, I was researching.

01:08:19.700 --> 01:08:28.520
But, yeah, it looks really interesting, and I have to wonder about the way you were talking about how we're moving towards this Web 2.0, OMG, everything's online awesomeness.

01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:36.560
You know, I think Google's got me believing that it's possible, but I'm really nervous about putting all my eggs in somebody else's basket.

01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:42.220
I mean, in terms of uptime reliability and information assurance, I just feel really skeptical.

01:08:42.840 --> 01:08:49.460
But, yeah, you're definitely seeing more of the move towards Ruby, towards Ajax, and all of these new Web 2.0 technologies.

01:08:49.460 --> 01:08:54.780
I'm just waiting until someone just blows the whole thing wide open and a million worms crawl out,

01:08:54.860 --> 01:08:58.260
and we've got a new breed of attack for us to earn our paychecks to feeding.

01:08:58.580 --> 01:09:03.940
Yeah, I don't know if there's going to be, like, one exploit or even a handful that affect all of them,

01:09:04.020 --> 01:09:08.500
because each application is going to be a case-by-case basis, but I certainly see it happening.

01:09:08.640 --> 01:09:16.940
I also see, you know, the businesses are kind of liking this and going at it because it saves them a lot of money on not only licensing, but payroll.

01:09:16.940 --> 01:09:24.100
Now, if you're anybody who's a first-year business student knows that the biggest cost in running a business is the human factor,

01:09:24.200 --> 01:09:26.500
your human resources paying employees or salaries.

01:09:26.620 --> 01:09:28.280
That's where the majority of your money comes from.

01:09:28.680 --> 01:09:35.320
And if you don't have to hire sysadmins and security people and programmers to a certain extent to maintain a lot of your code,

01:09:35.420 --> 01:09:37.700
you save a lot of money, so businesses are all for it.

01:09:38.260 --> 01:09:43.400
However, I don't know if they're looking at the long-term possibilities or potential of this.

01:09:43.400 --> 01:09:47.580
What happens if you're committing all your data remotely to somebody else?

01:09:47.700 --> 01:09:54.040
I mean, sure, you're trusting them with a lot of information, but what happens if you decide you don't want to renew your contract

01:09:54.040 --> 01:09:55.540
or you want to bring it back in-house?

01:09:56.200 --> 01:10:00.000
I mean, you really are in a lot of danger of getting your data back.

01:10:00.060 --> 01:10:03.960
I just don't trust anyone else having my data, especially important business data.

01:10:04.800 --> 01:10:07.200
So, anyway, I guess that's getting off on a whole different tangent.

01:10:07.200 --> 01:10:12.940
We'll bring it back a little bit, but another one of the interesting talks, and, again, I just like the programming side of things,

01:10:13.020 --> 01:10:15.500
was there was one called C++ Reversing.

01:10:16.200 --> 01:10:17.000
It looked interesting.

01:10:17.860 --> 01:10:22.180
And, actually, here's one that you probably – did you attend the one?

01:10:22.240 --> 01:10:24.080
It's called VoIP Attacks.

01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:24.860
Yes.

01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:26.320
You made it to that one.

01:10:26.540 --> 01:10:32.660
You and I probably have different viewpoints on this because, to me, when I see a VoIP presentation these days,

01:10:32.660 --> 01:10:38.360
I just go, okay, next, seen it, been there, done that, VoIP, I've seen all the VoIP presentations, I know what VoIP is,

01:10:38.620 --> 01:10:40.260
I know some of the potential vulnerabilities.

01:10:40.760 --> 01:10:45.820
Unless it's got a specific exploit that I want to see that I haven't heard or read about before,

01:10:45.920 --> 01:10:50.560
I usually skip right past those, but I suspect you probably go to all of those,

01:10:50.620 --> 01:10:53.880
just like I would go to maybe all the programming-related stuff.

01:10:54.600 --> 01:10:55.500
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

01:10:55.680 --> 01:10:57.440
I've hit every single VoIP talk I can.

01:10:57.440 --> 01:11:00.460
And, like you said, a lot of it's repeat information.

01:11:00.920 --> 01:11:06.400
Most of the attacks that we're seeing are generally either denial-of-service attacks against the phone

01:11:06.400 --> 01:11:12.980
or the infrastructure or the user, and then the other one will be active man-in-middle capture and replay attacks,

01:11:13.180 --> 01:11:16.880
effectively tapping the protocol and plugging it back.

01:11:17.180 --> 01:11:20.680
The cool thing about this guy's talk was, first of all, he spiced it up a bit.

01:11:20.940 --> 01:11:22.000
Well, this was Druid.

01:11:22.820 --> 01:11:26.000
I'm sorry, this was Druid presenting this, right?

01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:27.600
Yes, this was Druid.

01:11:27.840 --> 01:11:33.000
Now, the one thing I've got to say that made me almost want to go see this one,

01:11:33.360 --> 01:11:37.220
and actually I might have got, you know what, I would have gone to see it with someone else maybe,

01:11:37.360 --> 01:11:46.140
but the way he put together his presentation, when I looked at his, he has his presentation online now,

01:11:46.500 --> 01:11:51.220
and I looked through his slides and his description, it looked very well organized,

01:11:51.620 --> 01:11:54.820
more so than any of the other VoIP presentations I've seen or heard from.

01:11:54.820 --> 01:11:58.600
Because I usually go and look at all the presentations from every conference afterwards anyway,

01:11:59.300 --> 01:12:02.600
and this one stood out to me a little bit in that it was very organized.

01:12:02.900 --> 01:12:04.600
Was that the case with the actual talk?

01:12:05.280 --> 01:12:07.660
Yeah, his presentation was really well organized.

01:12:07.920 --> 01:12:13.160
He had a good flow that I thought made a lot of materials, a lot of it flowed from topic to topic.

01:12:13.300 --> 01:12:19.580
He organized things by attack vector rather than necessarily by protocol or by where in the OSI model,

01:12:19.580 --> 01:12:24.760
the actual attacks coming from, and he had injected little clips of videos from Mars attacks,

01:12:24.960 --> 01:12:28.080
and he had a little rant at the beginning about how Tim Burton, his favorite director,

01:12:28.200 --> 01:12:33.500
and it was one of his favorite movies, and it tended to break up the sections a little bit better.

01:12:33.900 --> 01:12:39.400
He tried to make it relevant regarding, you know, what we're actually talking about in the attack.

01:12:39.400 --> 01:12:43.160
Like, for example, impersonation attacks, like already spoofing.

01:12:43.400 --> 01:12:47.160
He had a clip of them saying, we are your friends, while he's blasting them to pieces,

01:12:47.360 --> 01:12:50.620
or whatever the hell the aliens are saying while they're turning everyone into vapor.

01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:53.940
But basically the idea is, we're saying that you're your friend while we're killing you.

01:12:54.260 --> 01:12:54.500
Right.

01:12:54.500 --> 01:12:56.400
So that was kind of cool.

01:12:57.220 --> 01:13:00.460
There were some technical problems with the sound, but that wasn't him at all.

01:13:00.540 --> 01:13:04.400
I think that was the guy that was running the videos was actually messing around with the levels.

01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:12.320
He didn't have any live demonstrations, which is really something that I'm always hoping for with a voice over IP attack.

01:13:12.600 --> 01:13:12.900
Right.

01:13:12.980 --> 01:13:13.940
A talk, excuse me.

01:13:15.040 --> 01:13:17.460
But barring that, he has some good information.

01:13:17.920 --> 01:13:20.820
We were talking about how we always see these same presentations.

01:13:20.820 --> 01:13:27.200
And I wish the Druid's talk was the only voice talk that I had ever seen, because I think that he did it right the first time.

01:13:27.640 --> 01:13:28.240
That's good.

01:13:28.420 --> 01:13:28.940
That's good.

01:13:29.820 --> 01:13:30.140
All right.

01:13:30.160 --> 01:13:30.680
Well, let's see.

01:13:31.040 --> 01:13:35.480
Also, a couple other things that looked interesting, and I'm going to speed it up here as we start to run low on time,

01:13:35.580 --> 01:13:39.760
was one called Ida Rub, Reverse Engineering with Ruby.

01:13:41.140 --> 01:13:44.300
And truthfully, Ruby, I don't know too much about.

01:13:44.380 --> 01:13:45.980
I don't like it, quite frankly.

01:13:46.120 --> 01:13:49.280
I know I'll get hate mail and have in the past, but I didn't care for Ruby.

01:13:49.280 --> 01:13:55.980
On the surface, it looked great, but then when I actually started looking into it, it was kind of anal, and I didn't like how, meh.

01:13:56.060 --> 01:13:56.340
Anyway.

01:13:56.340 --> 01:14:02.600
But one thing that I really did like about it was when I read the CFP and the speaker information, the speaker bios,

01:14:03.120 --> 01:14:07.260
was that he wasn't affiliated with any security company, which kind of we alluded to earlier.

01:14:07.360 --> 01:14:11.620
A lot of these people, I would dare say most of these people, work for a security company,

01:14:12.040 --> 01:14:15.860
and their company flies them in and pays their way and all that kind of stuff.

01:14:15.860 --> 01:14:20.540
There's nothing wrong with that or anything, but I always love seeing somebody who's keeping it real,

01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:23.840
you know, somebody who's just hacking because they like it, because they enjoy it,

01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:26.580
because they know what hacking's all about, doing it for themselves.

01:14:26.820 --> 01:14:30.800
So I probably would have gone to see this for those two reasons combined.

01:14:31.920 --> 01:14:32.380
Let's see.

01:14:32.420 --> 01:14:35.480
There's another one called Polymorphic Shell Code at a Glance.

01:14:35.640 --> 01:14:38.300
This is something that I would like to learn a lot more about,

01:14:38.300 --> 01:14:40.280
so I definitely would have checked that one out as well.

01:14:41.100 --> 01:14:46.580
And SQL Infections, Everything You Wanted to Know About SQL Injection.

01:14:47.360 --> 01:14:56.440
Now, this one was from a gentleman who, well, you went to this one, did you, or no?

01:14:56.840 --> 01:14:57.520
Yeah, I did.

01:14:57.620 --> 01:14:58.240
You did, okay.

01:14:58.260 --> 01:14:59.100
One of the ones that I went to.

01:14:59.200 --> 01:15:03.960
Okay, well, let me say, the thing about this one is, A, I'm interested in that anyway,

01:15:03.960 --> 01:15:08.780
but I kind of know, again, I feel like I know everything there is to know just about,

01:15:08.880 --> 01:15:17.060
if not more so, about SQL Injection, but I looked again at his slides and his layout of his presentation

01:15:17.060 --> 01:15:22.740
and everything, and the way he presented this talk, and I want to actually see this one.

01:15:22.780 --> 01:15:25.240
If there's any that I'm going to get the video from, it would be this one.

01:15:26.220 --> 01:15:29.420
He presented this the way that I would present this.

01:15:29.420 --> 01:15:33.840
I've wanted to present on this topic for a while, and I haven't had time to put it together,

01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:38.060
and I don't know if I will now, because the way his slides look, the way his layout look to me,

01:15:38.220 --> 01:15:40.360
is exactly the way I would present it.

01:15:40.420 --> 01:15:45.100
I get tired of the same old one equals one examples and whatnot,

01:15:45.320 --> 01:15:48.640
so this is the way that I would have presented it based on what I saw in the slides,

01:15:49.080 --> 01:15:54.860
and make people realize that it's not just about a one-trick pony that helps you log on to a web forum

01:15:54.860 --> 01:16:01.960
by injecting a few special characters that cause the code to get screwed up.

01:16:01.960 --> 01:16:05.360
It's more than that, and it could potentially be a lot more dangerous than that.

01:16:05.640 --> 01:16:11.020
That's just a simple example that everybody uses for SQL injection, like that's all there is to it,

01:16:11.040 --> 01:16:12.880
the end-all and be-all to it, and it's not.

01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:18.020
Yeah, he has a great sense of humor when he gives his presentations, too.

01:16:18.080 --> 01:16:18.440
It's funny.

01:16:19.380 --> 01:16:21.540
You wouldn't know that he was making a joke.

01:16:21.620 --> 01:16:22.880
You'd think that, oh, my God, are you serious?

01:16:23.180 --> 01:16:27.660
Except maybe a slightly raised eyebrow and a slight smirk when he tries not to laugh at his jokes.

01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:32.980
And like you said, it's not exactly an O-Day topic, but Matt knows the information so completely

01:16:32.980 --> 01:16:38.100
that he can blaze past the boring stuff and quickly get on to some of the advanced topics

01:16:38.100 --> 01:16:40.040
and make them nice and high-level.

01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:46.940
And he and one of the co-workers from Spy Dynamics were some of my favorite people to talk to at the after-party.

01:16:46.940 --> 01:16:53.960
One thing that he talked about was how most modern IDS and IPS systems will pick up on a SQL injection attack

01:16:53.960 --> 01:16:56.100
by using the 1 equals 1 example.

01:16:56.460 --> 01:17:00.240
And so he said, yeah, well, here's a leet O-Day technique of evading the IDS.

01:17:00.740 --> 01:17:02.440
Use 2 equals 2.

01:17:03.160 --> 01:17:07.680
And swear to God, most of them look for the literal string, and so 2 equals 2, which is still a logical truth,

01:17:07.840 --> 01:17:10.900
passes by, and if injection's possible, we'll let you in.

01:17:11.100 --> 01:17:11.960
So that was pretty cool.

01:17:12.100 --> 01:17:14.100
All it has to be is a logical true.

01:17:14.240 --> 01:17:14.920
It can be anything.

01:17:14.920 --> 01:17:18.680
It could be pork equals pork.

01:17:18.840 --> 01:17:19.520
It doesn't matter.

01:17:19.620 --> 01:17:23.200
As long as it evaluates true, it's going to go through just fine.

01:17:23.620 --> 01:17:25.080
So, yeah, that's funny.

01:17:25.440 --> 01:17:31.320
And most people don't understand it exactly how it's working, so they don't know to change it from 1 equals 1.

01:17:31.380 --> 01:17:33.560
They would think that that is the exploit, and it's not.

01:17:33.620 --> 01:17:36.500
It's just evaluating true in the injection of the code.

01:17:36.660 --> 01:17:40.480
So, again, he presented it the way that I would have presented it well.

01:17:40.600 --> 01:17:43.380
So I think he probably did good justice to the topic.

01:17:43.380 --> 01:17:49.420
And even though it's not zero day or whatever, like you said, that it's not a brand new specific exploit,

01:17:49.540 --> 01:17:54.740
I think that this is something that most people still don't understand the detail of.

01:17:54.780 --> 01:17:58.460
They know overview of what it is generally, but not any kind of level of detail.

01:17:58.700 --> 01:18:00.340
So, yeah, I'm looking forward to see that.

01:18:00.340 --> 01:18:03.300
And, yeah, he does work with a very good, very good friend of mine.

01:18:04.180 --> 01:18:07.700
And I do not know Matt, though, that gave this presentation.

01:18:07.900 --> 01:18:10.380
So I don't know how I've gotten by without meeting him.

01:18:10.560 --> 01:18:15.780
But, yeah, I'll probably get together on an upcoming conference and chat with him about this.

01:18:16.080 --> 01:18:17.360
So that would look cool.

01:18:17.360 --> 01:18:20.620
Now, kind of wrap it up quickly here because we're running out of time fast.

01:18:21.020 --> 01:18:31.760
There were a couple panels that I – yeah, I know I might piss somebody off, but I'm just going to call them filler material because they just – I could not be any less interested.

01:18:32.800 --> 01:18:34.760
At least they didn't have LOL in the title, though.

01:18:35.560 --> 01:18:35.740
But I –

01:18:35.740 --> 01:18:39.000
Yeah, specifically, well, and you know what?

01:18:39.000 --> 01:18:40.860
I – well, no, I'm going to stick with it.

01:18:40.920 --> 01:18:42.500
It looked boring and I wouldn't attend it.

01:18:42.520 --> 01:18:43.820
It was called the Nostalgia Panel.

01:18:44.660 --> 01:18:46.780
And it's just like a nostalgia panel?

01:18:46.880 --> 01:18:50.000
This is just, what, a bunch of old guys talking about things back in the day?

01:18:50.040 --> 01:18:51.140
That just sounds so boring.

01:18:51.220 --> 01:18:52.480
I've heard their stories before.

01:18:53.100 --> 01:18:59.120
You know, I mean, that's as bad as, like, doing an episode of BinRev Radio where we do nothing but review a conference the whole time.

01:18:59.980 --> 01:19:01.660
Yeah, well, why would we do that?

01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:02.760
Yeah, oh, wait.

01:19:02.880 --> 01:19:04.180
Boy, that was a bad choice of words.

01:19:04.220 --> 01:19:05.100
I'll have to edit that out.

01:19:05.100 --> 01:19:11.580
Anyway, the only thing is – the only thing that salvaged this a tiny bit is that we have a Captain Crunch sighting.

01:19:11.620 --> 01:19:12.180
Is that correct?

01:19:12.700 --> 01:19:13.880
That is correct.

01:19:14.660 --> 01:19:15.480
Oh, man.

01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:17.000
I got a video of it.

01:19:17.000 --> 01:19:21.200
Now, first, let's preface this by saying that Crunch was not on the panel when it was submitted.

01:19:21.720 --> 01:19:28.140
And I don't believe that he was on the panel until about 20 minutes before it went on when he asked, hey, can I be on the panel?

01:19:28.980 --> 01:19:34.440
And the guys giving it, they were like, yeah, well, Nostalgia, Crunch, Crunch is Nostalgia, sure.

01:19:34.440 --> 01:19:35.160
He's old.

01:19:36.400 --> 01:19:37.880
It turned into the Crunch panel.

01:19:38.320 --> 01:19:39.920
I didn't make the talk in person.

01:19:40.400 --> 01:19:44.980
I bought it because a very good friend of mine, Damon, as an Apache, was in the talk.

01:19:45.480 --> 01:19:48.120
And he looked so pissed when he got out of it.

01:19:48.180 --> 01:19:48.780
I'm like, what's wrong, man?

01:19:48.840 --> 01:19:49.840
Was it not good?

01:19:50.220 --> 01:19:50.680
He's like, no.

01:19:50.800 --> 01:19:54.240
I mean, it was cool when I got to talk for 10 seconds.

01:19:54.240 --> 01:20:04.800
Crunch was actually, he would pick up the microphone at every possible injectable opportunity and hijack the conversation and made it, you know, something that happened 30 or 40 years ago.

01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:09.680
So at one point somebody asked him, hey, Crunch, when was the last red possible call make?

01:20:09.680 --> 01:20:13.860
And he goes, well, if I recall, it was back in 1995 at a library.

01:20:13.860 --> 01:20:19.860
And someone, and then Damon picks up the microphone and says, TGI Friday is to work on seven last year.

01:20:20.220 --> 01:20:23.200
And the whole audience busts up and looks on Crunch's face.

01:20:23.300 --> 01:20:24.080
It's just, oh.

01:20:24.540 --> 01:20:26.220
And he's like, well, I guess I stand corrected.

01:20:27.400 --> 01:20:37.820
A little backstory behind that he's referring to when Damon and some of the members of the community were dicking around on the pay phones last year at TGI Friday.

01:20:37.820 --> 01:20:41.700
But it is certainly still possible in some areas, but toll fraud is lame.

01:20:42.560 --> 01:20:44.080
Yeah, officially for the record, right?

01:20:44.600 --> 01:20:45.500
Yeah, exactly.

01:20:46.280 --> 01:20:47.080
Oh, all right.

01:20:47.140 --> 01:20:49.560
And there was some other lame shit called tracksploits.

01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:52.200
I mean, what kind of fucking waste of time bullshit was that?

01:20:52.300 --> 01:20:53.040
Did you go to that one?

01:20:53.560 --> 01:20:54.600
Yeah, it was some bullshit.

01:20:54.740 --> 01:20:56.900
I was there, but I can honestly say I slept through it.

01:20:57.380 --> 01:20:58.400
I hope not.

01:21:00.960 --> 01:21:04.560
You know, the nice thing about it, as opposed to hope, was that more people were there.

01:21:04.560 --> 01:21:10.880
And I was able to update the slides with some more relevant information regarding botnets and some of the other cool research that I've been doing.

01:21:11.480 --> 01:21:18.760
And despite myself, managed to sneak in a couple jokes that I didn't realize were jokes until I watched the DVD after the fact and people were laughing at me.

01:21:18.960 --> 01:21:19.360
Oh, wow.

01:21:19.380 --> 01:21:20.800
So I'm hoping those were jokes.

01:21:21.140 --> 01:21:22.320
Are you sure your fly wasn't down?

01:21:23.080 --> 01:21:25.380
Well, I was standing behind a podium, so I know it was down.

01:21:25.540 --> 01:21:26.000
Oh, okay.

01:21:26.180 --> 01:21:26.760
Oh, yeah.

01:21:27.520 --> 01:21:27.940
All right.

01:21:27.940 --> 01:21:28.220
Giggity.

01:21:28.580 --> 01:21:29.260
All right.

01:21:29.340 --> 01:21:29.980
All right.

01:21:30.060 --> 01:21:30.880
Yeah, giggity.

01:21:31.480 --> 01:21:32.160
All right.

01:21:32.160 --> 01:21:40.260
But, hey, I promise the next talk I do will not be track exploits, and it may not even have anything to do with any research that I'm doing with the company I work for.

01:21:40.660 --> 01:21:45.700
Well, hey, actually, maybe you and I got something we can talk about, too, because we have a little project in the works, too.

01:21:46.440 --> 01:21:46.780
Yeah, definitely.

01:21:46.780 --> 01:21:47.640
We'll see how that goes.

01:21:48.220 --> 01:21:48.720
All right.

01:21:48.760 --> 01:21:50.260
So, anyway, I guess let's wrap this up.

01:21:50.860 --> 01:21:54.420
Tracks happened all day Saturday and Sunday, not Friday, Saturday.

01:21:54.500 --> 01:21:55.680
It was a Saturday-Sunday talk.

01:21:55.680 --> 01:22:08.500
Now, for people like me, the late Sunday tracks were kind of a problem because even if I were to fly out there, let's say I was so hooked that I wanted to come out there, I just wanted to trip to San Diego, everything convinced me to go.

01:22:09.080 --> 01:22:18.320
I got to fly back to the East Coast Sunday evening, a Sunday afternoon evening, because not only is it a long flight, but you've got three time zones to cross.

01:22:18.320 --> 01:22:26.120
I mean, if I stay and see those late talks until 10 o'clock at night, I think some of them went on, I mean, it would be a red-eye coming back.

01:22:26.200 --> 01:22:28.360
I'd be getting there, you know, 7, 8, 9 in the morning.

01:22:28.540 --> 01:22:36.040
I mean, that's – if you've got to fly back to the East Coast through that, I almost get the feeling they don't want people from the East Coast coming.

01:22:36.100 --> 01:22:37.860
They don't want people outside of Cali to attend.

01:22:37.960 --> 01:22:42.840
They want to – I guess we're supposed to go to ShmooCon, and you guys are supposed to go to TourCon or something like that.

01:22:42.940 --> 01:22:43.180
Yeah.

01:22:43.360 --> 01:22:46.180
It almost felt like they had a lot of no-dos.

01:22:46.180 --> 01:22:50.820
Well, that's a shame, because some of the talks were on Sunday evening that looked pretty decent.

01:22:51.600 --> 01:22:54.820
But, again, the videos, they're going to make videos available.

01:22:54.920 --> 01:22:57.060
Do you know anything about, like, are they going to be online?

01:22:57.220 --> 01:22:58.340
Are they downloadable for free?

01:22:58.440 --> 01:22:59.380
Do you have to buy them?

01:22:59.440 --> 01:23:01.280
Are they going to be, like, purchasing –

01:23:01.280 --> 01:23:02.980
I'm pretty sure you're going to have to buy them.

01:23:03.320 --> 01:23:07.420
The ShmooCon – the same guy that did the ShmooCon videos did the videos this time around.

01:23:07.820 --> 01:23:12.500
But since they were now selling the ShmooCon videos for $20 a pop instead of a free download,

01:23:12.640 --> 01:23:16.060
I can only assume that these will not be made available online.

01:23:16.460 --> 01:23:22.980
I think the audio might be, but that's a big might, as previous TourCons have not uploaded any sort of audio.

01:23:23.400 --> 01:23:26.320
And the guy who did the recording wasn't actually a part of the conference.

01:23:26.460 --> 01:23:29.700
He was just some dude who showed up with some cameras and got a press badge.

01:23:30.360 --> 01:23:30.720
Hmm.

01:23:31.360 --> 01:23:34.920
Yeah, and I wonder what their licensing will be, even if they don't put them up online,

01:23:35.000 --> 01:23:38.380
if they will be against putting them – other people putting them up online.

01:23:38.380 --> 01:23:43.260
Because one thing I do like about Hope and always have liked is they don't care and they don't mind you putting them up.

01:23:43.340 --> 01:23:45.800
They even encourage you putting out torrents and whatever and sharing them.

01:23:46.380 --> 01:23:51.500
I mean, you can also buy them, which, like, people like me, I do like to have copies burned of a lot of this stuff.

01:23:51.500 --> 01:23:55.680
But if there's something that's like a fringe, something that's borderline interesting,

01:23:56.220 --> 01:23:59.120
like the nostalgia panel I want to see now only because of Crunch.

01:23:59.720 --> 01:24:02.680
So I might download that, but I sure as shit aren't going to pay for it.

01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:06.860
Well, when they gave the copyright notices at the beginning of each DVD,

01:24:07.080 --> 01:24:09.920
it's interesting that they gave credit to each of the present presenters

01:24:09.920 --> 01:24:13.440
and co-copyright ownership to the people who recorded it.

01:24:13.820 --> 01:24:16.860
So maybe if I give my permission to have my talk put online, for example,

01:24:16.980 --> 01:24:18.260
then that might be legally legit.

01:24:18.660 --> 01:24:19.100
Oh, cool.

01:24:19.160 --> 01:24:20.180
I'll look into it.

01:24:20.400 --> 01:24:21.300
All right, we'll check that out.

01:24:21.940 --> 01:24:24.600
All in all, though, and we're really running a long time.

01:24:24.600 --> 01:24:26.920
All in all, compared to the other cons you've been to,

01:24:27.100 --> 01:24:29.960
this one seems better organized, at least, from the website and stuff.

01:24:30.900 --> 01:24:34.300
And you're saying that this was kind of a little bit leaning more towards security

01:24:34.300 --> 01:24:35.200
and stuff like that.

01:24:35.540 --> 01:24:38.580
All in all, did you, well, I mean, let's just say, did you enjoy the conference?

01:24:38.640 --> 01:24:39.220
Let's make it easy.

01:24:39.320 --> 01:24:40.220
Oh, I loved it.

01:24:40.280 --> 01:24:41.220
Yeah, I had a great time.

01:24:41.280 --> 01:24:41.920
It was one of my favorites.

01:24:42.200 --> 01:24:43.580
So you definitely would encourage people.

01:24:43.680 --> 01:24:45.120
It is definitely worth going to.

01:24:45.360 --> 01:24:49.160
It's 300 or 400 people, so it's not small, but it's not a DEF CON.

01:24:49.260 --> 01:24:51.640
It's not big thousands of people like Hope and DEF CON either.

01:24:51.640 --> 01:24:53.240
So it's a nice medium-sized con.

01:24:54.320 --> 01:24:59.080
So, yeah, if this was near me, I would definitely, definitely attend this.

01:24:59.080 --> 01:25:02.800
But being on the West Coast, it's a little bit out of my jurisdiction.

01:25:03.660 --> 01:25:06.400
Well, is there anything else to mention before we wrap up the show?

01:25:07.300 --> 01:25:08.440
No, man, that was it.

01:25:08.700 --> 01:25:09.360
It was a good conference.

01:25:09.480 --> 01:25:10.240
Make it out if you can.

01:25:10.320 --> 01:25:12.420
If you can, if you cannot, go to Schmook on them.

01:25:13.060 --> 01:25:13.820
Cool, good deal.

01:25:13.880 --> 01:25:16.500
All right, so let's move into some shouts tonight.

01:25:17.060 --> 01:25:20.480
I'll go ahead and do mine first and stall for you to think of your shouts.

01:25:21.220 --> 01:25:25.820
First shouts go to Enigma, who's been doing a great job helping us get caught up on the show notes.

01:25:25.820 --> 01:25:31.480
So, as a matter of fact, not only to Enigma, but I'll give shout-outs to the whole BR813 meeting over there in Tampa.

01:25:32.240 --> 01:25:34.760
Everybody over there gets shouts, but it's all thanks to Enigma.

01:25:34.880 --> 01:25:38.480
He did all the work to give all of you guys shouts at the BR813.

01:25:39.400 --> 01:25:41.640
So buy the guy a cookie or something at your next meeting.

01:25:41.720 --> 01:25:44.760
I would say buy him a drink, but, you know, we don't want to go there.

01:25:45.220 --> 01:25:47.000
None of the legalities of some of that stuff.

01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:52.560
So, and actually, I might head across the state and maybe take in a meeting over there sometime soon.

01:25:53.360 --> 01:25:57.020
So if I can work that into my schedule, I will try to do that.

01:25:57.560 --> 01:26:02.280
And, oh, I definitely got to give shouts to Natus for getting published in the current 2600 magazine.

01:26:02.980 --> 01:26:03.800
Very cool.

01:26:03.980 --> 01:26:06.860
And the article, the article was several months old.

01:26:07.080 --> 01:26:09.120
I watched it from the beginning.

01:26:09.240 --> 01:26:12.720
I watched it develop as he wrote it and worked on it and edited it and got it to where it is.

01:26:12.720 --> 01:26:19.040
And not just because he's, you know, he's my dog, but it ended up to be a damn good article.

01:26:19.160 --> 01:26:22.960
I really did think it was a pretty freaking good article in my personal opinion.

01:26:23.620 --> 01:26:26.600
And I'm always right, as we said earlier in the show.

01:26:26.760 --> 01:26:28.080
So there you go.

01:26:29.060 --> 01:26:30.520
So what do you got for shouts this week?

01:26:30.720 --> 01:26:31.140
All right.

01:26:31.240 --> 01:26:33.840
Shouts first off to everybody at Spy Dynamics.

01:26:33.880 --> 01:26:34.720
You guys rock.

01:26:34.800 --> 01:26:37.220
I had a great time talking to you, and I hope that we stay in contact.

01:26:37.800 --> 01:26:40.360
Everybody involved in TourCon, it was a great conference.

01:26:40.360 --> 01:26:42.640
And I will see you guys at the 2600 meetings.

01:26:43.420 --> 01:26:47.680
Verbal and Strom, thanks for driving down and flying down to come hang out at the conference.

01:26:48.300 --> 01:26:53.300
And Tiffany, a.k.a. Vicarious Geek, for being the coolest geek I know that doesn't actually own a computer.

01:26:54.820 --> 01:26:55.220
Okay.

01:26:55.680 --> 01:26:57.560
And our site of the week is pretty easy this week.

01:26:57.660 --> 01:26:59.060
It's tourcon.org.

01:26:59.740 --> 01:27:04.240
Email, feedback of any kind should go to radio at binrev.com.

01:27:04.300 --> 01:27:08.580
And just a quick reminder, if you send feedback anywhere else, it's not going to get read on the air.

01:27:08.580 --> 01:27:15.920
If you send it to StankDog or to anybody individually, only stuff that comes to radio at binrev.com is going to be usable on the air.

01:27:17.060 --> 01:27:17.580
Let's see.

01:27:17.640 --> 01:27:18.140
Closing music.

01:27:18.240 --> 01:27:22.020
Actually, we're going to use your, I don't know, does it have a name?

01:27:22.720 --> 01:27:27.560
Yeah, it's the StankDog Underworld I'm a Fucking Moron Remix Part 2.

01:27:27.740 --> 01:27:28.560
There you go.

01:27:28.700 --> 01:27:30.200
By our very own Savant.

01:27:30.480 --> 01:27:32.460
So that is going to do it for this episode of the show.

01:27:32.760 --> 01:27:34.800
And Savant, thank you again for being on the show.

01:27:35.320 --> 01:27:35.760
Thank you.

01:27:35.760 --> 01:27:37.340
We will see everybody next week.

01:27:37.660 --> 01:27:38.740
Same Hack Time.

01:27:39.660 --> 01:27:41.120
Same Hack Channel.

01:27:44.720 --> 01:27:46.000
I am StankDog.

01:27:46.880 --> 01:27:48.680
All right, I suck at this radio thing.

01:27:49.540 --> 01:27:50.780
I suck at the talking.

01:27:51.860 --> 01:27:53.300
I'm a fucking moron.

01:27:53.300 --> 01:27:55.500
I believe it.

01:27:55.620 --> 01:27:56.960
I honestly feel that way.

01:27:57.120 --> 01:27:59.040
So, hey, whatever.

01:28:01.520 --> 01:28:02.900
I'm a fucking moron.

01:28:03.940 --> 01:28:07.600
It's a very hard and expensive lesson to learn.

01:28:08.900 --> 01:28:11.260
All right, I don't even know what else to say.

01:28:11.260 --> 01:28:14.940
I'm a fucking moron.

01:28:15.700 --> 01:28:18.880
I will suck it up and admit, I'm a fucking moron.

01:28:20.600 --> 01:28:21.460
Fear, period.

01:28:21.680 --> 01:28:22.860
Anyways, you're here.

01:28:23.020 --> 01:28:26.300
You can't spell or complete the proper sentence.

01:28:27.640 --> 01:28:28.840
Does this guy have ADD?

01:28:28.920 --> 01:28:29.560
What's going on here?

01:28:30.160 --> 01:28:31.960
You should inform the masses.

01:28:31.960 --> 01:28:34.440
You all know I'm going to fail.

01:28:35.100 --> 01:28:36.540
I'm a fucking moron.

01:28:37.360 --> 01:28:39.720
I know all of our listeners are all brilliant.

01:28:40.420 --> 01:28:43.820
But I'm oversimplifying.

01:28:44.460 --> 01:28:45.640
I am so mental.

01:28:45.820 --> 01:28:46.880
I don't even know where to begin.

01:28:47.040 --> 01:28:48.620
I wonder why no one's thought of that yet.

01:28:48.620 --> 01:28:51.540
I'm the worst radio voice ever.

01:28:52.160 --> 01:28:52.520
Seriously.

01:28:54.360 --> 01:28:55.760
I'm a fucking moron.

01:28:56.800 --> 01:28:58.100
So, I'll give you that.

01:28:58.140 --> 01:28:58.820
I can see that.

01:28:59.060 --> 01:29:01.280
What is so complicated technically about this?

01:29:01.440 --> 01:29:04.600
This is something that's been a problem for us for like the last month or more.

01:29:06.240 --> 01:29:07.540
I thought I'd put that in the show notes.

01:29:08.720 --> 01:29:10.000
Warning sign, signal.

01:29:10.120 --> 01:29:11.260
Beep, beep, ding, ding, ding, ding.

01:29:11.280 --> 01:29:12.360
Watch the fuck out.

01:29:13.460 --> 01:29:15.420
These should be big warning signs.

01:29:15.480 --> 01:29:15.900
Am I right?

01:29:15.900 --> 01:29:16.460
Seriously.

01:29:16.460 --> 01:29:19.760
I'm a fucking moron.

01:29:30.200 --> 01:29:31.800
I'm a fucking moron.

01:29:32.660 --> 01:29:33.120
Oh, me.

01:29:33.640 --> 01:29:35.880
The guy who does this fucking radio show.

01:29:37.200 --> 01:29:38.780
That might not grab your attention.

01:29:39.680 --> 01:29:43.060
Yeah, I gave my account number to some guy in Nigeria last week.

01:29:44.340 --> 01:29:46.280
I don't have an eBay account.

01:29:46.460 --> 01:29:50.960
I'm a fucking moron.

01:29:51.760 --> 01:29:52.800
How perverse am I?

01:29:52.840 --> 01:29:53.600
Where's my mind?

01:29:54.540 --> 01:29:55.520
We didn't hear the dip.
