Databeast discovered the underground by way of the computer demoscene in the late 80's . He founded the award-winning demoscene group "Nerve Axis" and was a member of many more lesser-known underground groups (the names of which have thankfully been lost to history). By day he works on game-changing DFIR projects; by night he's one of those drunken people in the 303 Tshirts you see wandering the halls of DEF CON. He misses the days when the questions in Hacker Jeopardy were actually about the history of hacking.
