the field of cybersecurity is hilarious bc a hacker will be known by a name like siD3w4ys_d4rKst4r or some shit & it’s just a middle aged dude w glasses who coaches his kids’ soccer team
32 years ago today I registered the @L0phtHeavyInd class C. I got the email from ARIN, sent the class C address to our ISP, then got the first packets routed over our 56K modem to our 486 linux box. When those first packets come through the whole room exploded with chants of, "We on da backbone!"
Then came one of the first hacking resources on the web, shell accounts, a bbs, webcams, and lots of shenanigans. You can see an archive of the website here: gbppr.net/l0pht/l0pht.html
That’s a wrap on Black Hat Asia 2026. We networked the network so hard and we secured all the security while AI-ing the AI. It was glorious. #BHAsia#blackhat@BlackHatEvents
I was talking with a couple of friends(@WeldPond and @dcuthbert) and going through old hacker photos together and they suggested I get some out in the public. I’m going to start posting old hacker photos and tagging them with #hackerthrowback. I may forget names or not know some of the people in the photos, please tag them or identify them if you can…and it won’t piss them off. #defcon#blackhat@defcon@BlackHatEvents
This absolute lunatic is giving a presentation while wearing @XREAL_Global Glasses so he can simultaneously view his display and notes while not taking his eyes off the crowd. 😎 @d4rkm4tter@ApresCyber
