So you think you're a hacker? You're lying in bed after a hard days hacking and you're having trouble sleeping. You didn't leave your IP address anywhere did you? Maybe you should just get up and check, just to be sure. Hackers don't get caught, and the last thing you want to do is become "famous", or become bubbas best prison mate! This talk is about operational security for hackers. How you can sleep at night and hopefully stay out of prison. I will show case studies from "famous" New Zealand hackers who have been caught including myself. This talk will show information from both sides of the coin, how to misdirect forensic investigators and details from those who work on the side of the law. You might even get to see the rig I roll and the code I use to protect my data at home.
