VirGraff101: An Introduction to Virtual Graffiti

Presented at DEF CON 18 (2010), July 30, 2010, 4 p.m. (50 minutes)

Want to take a stab at graffiti but spray paint fumes get you nauseous? Worry not! The world of virtual graffiti is slowly but surely gaining popularity and now hackers with little to no artistic inclination are able to go out and alter digital media as well as leave messages in virtual mediums with as much (if not more) finesse than our analogue counterparts are able to. This talk will cover the history of graffiti, how virtual graffiti is different from digital graffiti, examples of virtual graffiti that you can attempt on your own, and the legal implications involved with virtual graffiti. There will also be materials provided for LED throwies.
