Thumbs up Don't steal a hackers computer

My boyfriend shared this video with me, and I thought it was just too awesome not to share. It's from Defcon, and about 18 minutes long.

Don't steal a hackers computer.

Enjoy!

Interesting video -- I stopped attending Defcon because half the morons there are not hackers, just e-thugs claiming to be hackers.

Take this moron for example-- he did absolutely nothing remotely close to "hacking".

Of course most of the people at Defcon will now believe he is the most awesomeness hacker in the world!

How dare you! He hacked into his own computer ... with his very own password!

I adore him.

Hahahah! I know right. I wonder if I can hire him to hack into my ex-wife's computer? I think I know the password to it!

You know you really should do just the littlest smidgen of research before making an assertion like this.

The speakers credentials :

Dr Zoz Brooks ,

co - star on the Discovery channel show Prototype This.
PHD , Mit Electrical Engineering & Computer Science also robotics :

http://tech.mit.edu/V129/N8/zoz.html

One of his hacks while at MIT :

http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2002/crops.html

And another :

http://hackaday.com/2009/08/04/defcon-17-badge-hacking/

Clips of his from the Prototype this show :

http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/prot...-dr-robot.html

Wiki on the show :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_This!

His profile page at MIT :

http://robotic.media.mit.edu/people/zoz/zoz.html

There's other stuff you can look up on google as well and he's attended a few Deffcons in the past.

He's definately not a moron when it comes to hardware and tech hacking and computers.

Sorry for the long post Storm but it really annoys me when people call other people moron's when they really aren't.

This talk was never presented as a Hack in the first place. It's just an interesting series of events that lead to him getting his computer back.

I also understand he attended Defcon 16 , 17 & 18. I understand you may not like him but dismiss him as a moron just from this clip is a little hasty. If you've attended previous Defcons , heard his talks and as direct result still call him a moron please say so
