No-Tech Hacking

Presented at The Last HOPE (2008), July 20, 2008, 5 p.m. (60 minutes)

The best way to describe this talk is to simply quote some of what we received from its presenter: "I'm Johnny. I hack stuff. I've been at it for quite a while now, and I've picked up a few tricks along the way. I get asked about my tricks all the time, mostly by kids who saw that movie. You know the one. But I've always said no. I've held onto my secrets as part of the pact I made with the hacker underground. I mean, I'm allowed to give talks and presentations about hacking stuff, but the secrets... the real super-cool secrets I've had to keep to myself. The head of the underground said so. But I got this email the other day that says I'm THIS close to getting kicked out of the underground. Seems the glare of the public eye has been on me for far too long and I've become a liability. So, I'm going to be proactive. I'm going to quit before they can fire me.... The underground is gonna be sooo ticked off."
