Hacking the Invisible World

Presented at H2K2 (2002), July 14, 2002, 5 p.m. (60 minutes).

Everything you could possibly want to know about the workings of scanners, frequency counters, intercepting/spoofing RF A/V feeds, STL's, pagers, infrared signs, night vision, electronic surveillance, etc.


Presenters:

  • Craig Harkins
    Craig Harkins has been operating Anteater Radio International since the 80's from an 18-wheeler truck over pirate shortwave.
  • Bernie S.
    Bernie S. started playing with microcomputers in 1978 when he built one using RCA's 1802 microprocessor (since it controlled the first Viking Mars Lander, he though it was cool). Shortly thereafter he built an intelligent video terminal (a big deal back then) and 110 baud modem, then started hacking the local Sperry Univac mainframe at Mansfield State College. Since then he's stayed involved with computers and telecommunications, and pushed the envelope a bit too much for the U.S. Secret Service.
  • Barry Wels / The Key as Barry "The Key" Wels
    Barry "The Key" Wels is one of the founders of TOOOL, The Open Organization of Lockpickers, a European lockpick sportclub. He also assists in professional lockpick/safe opening seminars given by the famous Paul Crouwel in the Netherlands. More info on lockpicking as a sport can be found on www.lockpicking.org or www.toool.nl.
