New HITB Videos Featuring Theo and Captain Crunch

Posted by timothy on from the not-tmbg dept.

acz writes "The Hack In The Box Security Conference 2004 videos (Part 1 and Part 2) have just been released today via bittorrent. HITBSecConf2004 attracted to Kuala Lumpur some of the biggest names in the security community to present their latest research. John T. Draper AKA Captain Crunch was present and Theo de Raadt did a fine speech on Exploit Mitigation techniques. For a live performance, you can catch up some of the speakers and the HITB crew over at BCS2005 in Jakarta on the 23rd-24th of this month. If you're in the Middle East or Europe, there's HITBSecConf2005 - Bahrain taking place 10th-13th April in Bahrain. See you guys there."

    Fry: I'm never gonna get used to the 31st century. Caffeinated bacon? Baconated grapefruit? Admiral Crunch?

    One of the best-known phishers of all time. This guy is a legend for finding that a small whistle found in boxes of captain Crunch cereal had the same tones as ATT's long distance equipment back in the 70's when cereal had prizes. This allowed the development of "Blue Boxes" that gave free long distance to anywhere in the world. The Blue boxes were developed by Apple founders Steve Wozniac and Steve Jobs at U.C. Berkley.

      Jesus. I don't think there was one accurate sentence in that entire post.

      Sorry, My Bad.
      -He was a Phreaker not a Phisher.

      -Technically he didn't find out that the whistle had the tones, a friend of his showed him how to modify the whistles.

      -He built blue boxes as well, along with many other people but Woz and Jobs are probably the most well known.

      Sorry, I did the post from memory from what I read a while ago and didn't have time to check everything.
