The first Program Manager to present, Phillip Alvelda, opened the event with his mind blowing project to develop a working “cortical modem”. What is a cortical modem you ask? Quite simply it is a direct neural interface that will allow for the visual display of information without the use of glasses or goggles.

Here you can read some details about the hack.

1,600 physical and virtual Linux and Unix servers, and 811 Windows servers. Additionally, a spreadsheet in the leak included the location, IP address, MAC address, Windows computer name, and assigned username of over 3,000 individual PCs in North America and over 7,700 more worldwide on Sony Pictures’ network. These details allowed the attackers to pick out Sony Pictures’ most vulnerable servers and infrastructure.

I recently got the idea from someone else (name witheld) to release false DOX on your alias. For anyone who doesn’t know, DOX means documents and if someone says they’re going to DOX you, that means they’re going to dig up your personal/real life information. Usually they’re uploaded on pastebin. So a good way to counteract this is to upload a bunch of false Docs (fake, phone numbers, fake Adress, fake first and last name, fake date of birth, etc.) If you upload multiple fakes, this will lead the trail away from you. And if someone does manage to get a real DOX on you, It’ll get drowned out in all the fakes. But don’t do too many, because theres a phrase I learned a while back; “enough no’s eventually leads you to a yes” Basically it means, that if they search hard enough, they could potentially find you through process of elimination. Anyways, thats my 2 cents on the matter.

“Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts… A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding…”
-William Gibson

I’m not a professional pentester. I’m more into Data.. As I know most of us have SIN (System Identification Number).
Every day we are using Technology which can be very convenient for us(credit card, Phone, internet, GPS…) but also very nice for other kind of people. Even when you didn’t use technology people did it for you to enter information about you.

Your personal information

Everything from your shopping habits to your health history can be available to creditors, employers, landlords, insurers, law enforcement agencies, and, of course, hackers. All they need to do is tap into the public and private databases that gather, buy, and sell your vital statistics. They don’t even need to hack directly your computer to know more about you.

And I don’t talk about information we willingly put publicly on Internet via our preferred social media

But that’s OK. Yeah that’s OK. No need to fear THE SYSTEM.
Because it is more important to know what kind of processes are behind your simple daily actions. It makes you more aware of your actions and the consequences…

…Until you want/need/have to hack a system that is declared illegal wherever you live.
So if you are going to a Run, you need to know what are the risks. Only stupid booster-gangs run without paying attention about consequences.
So if you don’t want to go to jail or drew the ace of spades, i will give you the same advice that COUNT ZERO gave you :

– stay safe, and don’t do anything stupid!
