thats what i thought...i tried to watch the other defcon videos by the different speakers but i cant help to fall asleep.....with his talk, im so in to it, i feel so inspired, motivated...and feel drawn in
DEF CON 19 - Richard Thieme - Staring into the Abyss I can't watch this guy without pausing every ten or so minutes, going out for a smoke to digest what he hits my brain with also johnny long, jason scott are awesome
"stalking a city for fun and frivolity" is one of the best talks I've seen, along with John Long's no-tech hacking. or the Gobble security talk at defcon 10 if you can deal with low quality
millenia111 Just the general theme of what they talk about. It usually involves "You know this thing you always use? Well if you poke it like this it steals your bank account and takes nude pictures of you and sends it to the US government."
+millenia111 I think if you studied up on most of this things from IT book or Hacking. You would appreciate the presenations more because you would be able to follow along and possible learn new nuances :))
"Sometimes, to show there's a better way to do things, you need to break some rules." This is absolutely true, but the kind of megalomaniacs one finds in positions of authority hate being shown their flaws more than they hate the actual rule-breaking.
Now the NSA knows I watched this video, and they will think I'm going to use this knowledge for bad stuff. I'm not a drug dealer, I just want to learn about computers and networking for constructive stuff.
+The Rektifier Aw shit, me too. Well, as long as they think I'm going to do bad things, I may as well do them. I should be on a list for a good reason rather than for a stupid reason.
To those saying "Oh god now because I watched this I'm on a watchlist": As far as I can tell, the NSA doesn't care about you for watching some TH-cam videos about this. That just says "I think hacker stuff is cool", and there are a million of those. It's when you start doing things that say "I've got something to hide". Such as using Tor, VPN, doing weird things with your IP address, etc. If the NSA sees you sit there totally exposed like everyone else, oblivious, and then they see you watch this, that is very, very weak evidence of anything. The people who they are after have *very* different digital behavior from normal people. It's like worrying that you'll be busted for cooking meth because you watched a VICE documentary.
Jotto999 tbh they don’t have to care they run algos that search for all the signs searching certain stuff will get picked up and stored and once your marked it’s gonna build a profile of everything that you do that fits its parameters
from an older man who thinks you guys are great. I openly & fully support the internet defenders league & you are so right about the Australian government sending their sniffing offshore for plausible deniability. then if they think but cannot prove they run interference cheers
On Defcon there are some serious people over there that hack anything with an operating system and you won't even know it. Some people there are straight up dangerous but it's pretty fun walking around a hell of a lot of people and thinking: which one of these is the real deal.
Fucking excellent! ZoZ is a boss! Im a little like millenia111 in that im absolutely not techno-savvy, but I love watching both Defcon and BlackHat talks! Utmost respect!
We should have a day where we all,or try to, use tor for that one day non stop to have a flood of connections and make it even harder for NSA to track some people......
Jgomez836 or if everyone set up a bot to parse search through a wordlist, and for every search you do there are 50 searches for random things like cats or your youtube creator’s videos to boost their algorithms
Here's what you shouldn't do: Tell everyone on the internet how you protect yourself, cause if one vulnerability on any of the things you said is found, anyone knows how to get you The best protection isn't defense, it's stealth
This is true... However, they are removing hay from the general populous (those they aren't worried about) and throwing it on the smaller pile of targets. Yes the amount of targets makes it harder, but relative to the general populous they are being separated from, it is much easier than, say, trying to focus on everybody, which is what they really want.
@ScoutSniper it did not go over my head. If you think it's realistic for everyone to use tor, you're a moron. Nothing went over my head. I know exactly what he said, and it is wishful thinking at best.
@ScoutSniper I do say so. This was years ago, and tor is still only used by a fraction of internet users. You can say whatever you want about what if they all used it; they don't, and they never will unless drastic changes take place.
As someone who is still under 25, it took me a very long time to figure out who's in the middle of 11:00. Like, is it not Ghandi? No... Gandhi never seemed to have much hostilities with US... Wait he looks Asian, is he Sun Yat-sen? Nope. Oh it's Japan's leader Tōjō Hideki. Make sense now. So the guy on the left is Benito Mussolini? Cool I thought that he was some Soviet people.
lul running tor on my phone... there are good browsers for android like "naked browser" that DON'T reflesh everything constantly, you can basically run linux cli tools on android too, so if your phone is rooted then you can do ANYTHING, including a full-on linux install that replaces android...or just add a ton of security features, such as denying all non-https traffic and stuff...
TextSecure (android) / Signal (ios) are worth considering if you want E2E/OTR crypto on mobile. Keys are trusted by default, but to me that's a fair compromise so Grandma can use it without knowing about key exchange.
Great speaker and excellent presentation. Would like to point out that in my head I hear him jumping from english accent to american accent copnstantly and its fucking me up.
There are a lot of hackers in that world who are better than I am, but disgracefully fritter away their knowledge working as “defence” contractors, for intelligence agencies, protecting banks and corporations and defending the established order
Most hackers are geeks and not about any kind of criminal life. When they get caught they roll... Minus like two high profile guys in the past three decades.
heard this from another talk, forgot if it was black cat or defcon but apparently that phone thing, the agents thought that a chip packet would act a faraday cage and prevent the phone from being tracked
Defcon is a conference, not a group. That fictional group is obviously a dramatization and romanticized interpretation of similar real world groups, so you can't expect a very accurate portrayal.
+root halo and "Lose the ego" is the key line here though. Hackers of the world, take fucking note. No one is the best in the hacker world. tryhards are so cringey.
"It's worse than criminal. It's stupid"
And by watching this, I'm now on The List. Please stop by and say hello, NSA! I get very lonely out here.
Torcularis yea me too
Me too, I used tor once because a website didn't accept my provider's traffic, so now I'm on the list too.
And I go on the deep web sometimes XD.
You know you should not only use tir when going into the deep Web
Yeah he said that and I don't.
Torcularis i'm 14 and I am probably on the list for all the research I do on security and what you can do and how to protect from it
Pro tip: if you're doing something illegal, remember to forget.
What're you talking about?
MistahBradley You can get away with almost anything by saying "I don't remember doing that".
I don't remember this conversation.
MistahBradley What conversation ?
Lemon Chief Now you're gettin' it! :D
ZoZ is hands down the best speaker at Defcon
thats what i thought...i tried to watch the other defcon videos by the different speakers but i cant help to fall asleep.....with his talk, im so in to it, i feel so inspired, motivated...and feel drawn in
Watch Johnny long's talks, they're really entertaining
DEF CON 19 - Richard Thieme - Staring into the Abyss I can't watch this guy without pausing every ten or so minutes, going out for a smoke to digest what he hits my brain with
also johnny long, jason scott are awesome
I'm not a fan of him ever since that speech where he talked about pwning the person whom ended up with his stolen laptop
"stalking a city for fun and frivolity" is one of the best talks I've seen, along with John Long's no-tech hacking.
or the Gobble security talk at defcon 10 if you can deal with low quality
I enjoy watching these talks, not that I understand much of it but that I admire them for being able to do what they do.
+millenia111 Its actually quite easy. Everything is fuckt and you are just now being told unless you knew it all along.
***** I was talking about their skillset, what did you refer to?
millenia111
Just the general theme of what they talk about. It usually involves "You know this thing you always use? Well if you poke it like this it steals your bank account and takes nude pictures of you and sends it to the US government."
***** I didnt get that impression at all, maybe I didnt pay enough attention.
+millenia111 I think if you studied up on most of this things from IT book or Hacking. You would appreciate the presenations more because you would be able to follow along and possible learn new nuances :))
"Sometimes, to show there's a better way to do things, you need to break some rules." This is absolutely true, but the kind of megalomaniacs one finds in positions of authority hate being shown their flaws more than they hate the actual rule-breaking.

+Getar Meal Solid I'd like to be the first to welcome you to the list. Take comfort in knowing you will never be alone here.
+The Rektifier Aw shit, me too. Well, as long as they think I'm going to do bad things, I may as well do them. I should be on a list for a good reason rather than for a stupid reason.
+The Rektifier you already fucked it up
***** I highly recommend getting a VPN. It won't completely protect you but it's a hell of a lot better than browsing the web in the clear.
they won't. sides if you're only doing something good, you're just adding to nsa's workload. so.just keep going.
dear ethical hackers, you are heroes! thanks for everything
Nah, the ethical ones ruin all the fun.
this video has aged beautifully with everything going on in the US right now. americans should all watch this.
i really like this speaker
“Is this your first talk?” “ Uh sure if it gets me some booze”
fuck that, I'm just going to get off the internet. Nice knowing y'all.
ikr

Every kid at my highschool used a vpn because the school WiFi had snapchat and insta blocked. Adding to the list.
this is a great introduction to network hacking , also for undestanding how the internet works
ive watched this one video, probably 20 times. love defcon.
Zoz is such a genius and fun guy! I love his talks 😄
You bet
I only clicked on this because it is Zoz, didn't expect the subject to be so good
These guys are the real resistance agains big brother. Whe have so much to thank them for.
Zoz just made it up there with deviat and jason street as one of my favorite speakers
from an older man who thinks you guys are great. I openly & fully support the internet defenders league & you are so right about the Australian government sending their sniffing offshore for plausible deniability. then if they think but cannot prove they run interference cheers
I accidentally read his slide that said ELEGANTCHAOS as ELEGANTNACHOS
I have found my new screen name.

i just love this guy
what is life, and how did i get to this video.
that question leads you on the path
Fucking excellent! ZoZ is a boss! Im a little like millenia111 in that im absolutely not techno-savvy, but I love watching both Defcon and BlackHat talks! Utmost respect!

L
Yeah, we should have a day like that.
Every day.
I'm a newb taking notes always use tor for safe stuff. def gonna keep adding to traffic.
This is my laptop setup. HDD encrypted with Veracrypt, host vpn- VM-Whonix gateway-kali-vpn-tor
U need 3 wolves to be properly protected.
Caleb Mack More like removal of 'easy' malware ;) My personal experience with AV is that they're all crap.

Here's what you shouldn't do: Tell everyone on the internet how you protect yourself, cause if one vulnerability on any of the things you said is found, anyone knows how to get you
The best protection isn't defense, it's stealth
Thank you for letting us know your unique signature.
Unless you are faking it, of course.
The man is an amazing speaker.
All the work you do is simply given ove
Another great talk. Also I love his accent.
"Privacy is like bacon..it makes everything better!" - Zoz
Love this guy.
That. Was. Awesome.
This is great
. This must be the only video with no trolls not even 1 thumb down :))
excellent talk
Great Talk
GG Clearchannel Allen's Ephemeral Block Rocking Beats Got His Talk Cut Short ?
Quite the opposite the more people the spooks have to watch the harder it is. Like zoz said finding a needle in a hay stack while throwing on more hay
This is true... However, they are removing hay from the general populous (those they aren't worried about) and throwing it on the smaller pile of targets. Yes the amount of targets makes it harder, but relative to the general populous they are being separated from, it is much easier than, say, trying to focus on everybody, which is what they really want.

thanks for all ur help 2 all
Damn, I remember DrDisrespect watching this on one of his streams a couple months before he got banned :(
What no way. I'd love to see him react to that. Almost seems totally out of his wheelhouses
As someone who is still under 25, it took me a very long time to figure out who's in the middle of 11:00.

Oh it's Japan's leader Tōjō Hideki. Make sense now. So the guy on the left is Benito Mussolini? Cool I thought that he was some Soviet people.
this is like looking for a needle in a hay stack by put on more hay great
44:32 listen close to hear a dude throwing up at the sheep intestines :)
These nerds cant handle the truth lol
This guy is really cool!
I wonder if it makes sense to use a VPN over TOR, using an double-OTP pre-login protocol.
Use Tor over VPN, not VPN over Tor. Using a vpn over tor defeats the purpose of tor. Using tor over a vpn allows both benefits.
AWESOME.
We need to be more on Freenet.
great video

running tor on my phone...
there are good browsers for android like "naked browser" that DON'T reflesh everything constantly, you can basically run linux cli tools on android too, so if your phone is rooted then you can do ANYTHING, including a full-on linux install that replaces android...or just add a ton of security features, such as denying all non-https traffic and stuff...

No such thing as free dinner.

The DVD Linux encryption thing was actually decryption, the subtitles are wrong again
Why am i watching this? I don't understand a single thing he is talking about.. and yet, it's somehow intruiging :)
Hahahaha I love this reply
How would one encrypt their ass going through exit nodes? Well, how would one encrypt all their traffic to begin with.
What your doing in this case is sales
This guy is amazing!
I think if anyone here does anything sketchy. You're going to be guilty of the fourth one mate.
I wonder how many of these same people are cheering on big tech now, or just remaining silent.

I wonder if watching these DC videos lands us on a list...
Yes it will.
Is he Aussie or Woody Allen, or Christopher Walken?
Defcon like Dedsec?
Defcon is a conference, not a group. That fictional group is obviously a dramatization and romanticized interpretation of similar real world groups, so you can't expect a very accurate portrayal.
is Zipit chat a totally secure app?
I barely know what any of this means lol
Defcon talks aren't aimed at noobs.
Percepto Shmegington so where the hell are we supposed to learn. But seriously, where.
American Pi it's meant for people who have experience in the field, so you need to have learned a lot before you can learn more
always that one guy laughing really loud every time. I bet whoever sat next the him was like "jheezzzzz"
