What will be your legacy? Will you leave behind a daemon that kicks off after your death? Will your Github projects continue? Do you even care about what you leave behind?

It is weird to think our generation has opportunities that no other generation had before us. Social media posts remain; both serious and dank memes (even your ape NFTs) though also this channel. It is wild to think these digital archives will outlast us. 

Might be an interesting conversation. Excited to hangout and discuss. As always, thank you for watching and hack on!

MK Factor take us behind the DEF CON 29 badge and drop a few hints about the DEF CON 30 badge. From the DEF CON Call for Badge Makers to the idea generation to all the issues along the way; hardware and software design to the art and logistics. They are the incredible team that brought us the DEF CON 29 badge and now the DEF CON 30 one too. 

Thank you for watching and hack on!

What are some ways to introduce kids to hacking? I wanted to hear from Gater who has spent a significant amount time coming up with fun projects and researching new and exciting ways to teach making and breaking to kids. There are some great things he shared and I wanted to pass off since they are ones I plan to do with my kids. So regardless if you have kids, nieces or nephews, or know people with kids, here are some fun projects to check out.

Come, chat, and hack on!

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will no longer prosecute ethical  hackers under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). We are going to  discuss what this means and share our opinion on it. Come, chat,  discuss, and hack on!  Summary of what happened: The U.S. Department of Justice has announced a revision of its policy on  how federal prosecutors should charge violations of the Computer Fraud  and Abuse Act. Under the new policies, software testing, investigation,  security flaw analysis, and network breaches intended to promote the  security and safety of the target devices or services are not to be  prosecuted.  The new policy focuses specifically on deliberate breaches of access  limitations on computers and networks. However, it does not give a pass  to hacking under the pretense of conducting security research. Federal  prosecutors will view all cases under an ethical lens to determine the  actor's intentions.  The Computer Misuse Act in the U.K. has acted as an intimidating force  against the infosec community. The DOJ also made additional  clarifications in the new policies regarding cases of breaking terms of  service, creating multiple pseudonymous accounts and using work  computers for personal purposes.

There are a lot of niches in cybersecurity, Gourry and I met up to  discuss ours. Penetration testing and virtualization, though getting to  each of those was a journey. We meander a bit while sharing stories of  what led us to these niches. Hope you get something out of it. Excited to be back live soon. Thank you for listening and hack on!
