DEF CON 21 - Brendan O'Connor - Stalking a City for Fun and Frivolity

[@TheMrMorphling]

Man if all presentations were this good and presenters was this good at public speaking...

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Then... what?

[@floatingsystems2929]

Oh man, Watching this in 2020 with all the current events is... wow

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Haha, oh yeah, just assume they're all single...!

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Haha, "LOG"ging!

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

How could someone get electrocuted by one of those plugs? Who's putting a finger from each arm onto each prong of the plug?

[@diablominero]

Lots of objects in your life are electrically connected to ground. If your charger references its 5V DC to live, instead of isolating it or referencing it to neutral like it's supposed to, you can shock yourself by bridging the DC output to your faucet with your body.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

@@diablominero: There's part of the puzzle, but that still doesn't answer my question about _electrocution_ specifically.

[@lucasthompson1650]

@@HelloKittyFanMan. Electrocution happens when one of the uber-cheap DC adapters you got on insert-shady-online-retailer-here (2 crates, 50 per crate, for $16 USD? They must be awesome!!) crumbles to plastic dust - microbeads? -in your hand leaving just the two metal prongs, which are now being squeezed (possible squeezed together) by your ungloved hand. Obviously, “you” in this case is the “royal you”, not “you”. 😎 Well, to be more specific, “you” mostly refers to a guy named Jens Hoekklin who did this THREE TIMES IN A ROW in a span of about 15 minutes, live and in-person before my very eyes, before I decided he wasn’t a street performer and kicked the cardboard box (“crate”) of what I can only assume were novelty/prank disintegrating DC adapters out of his reach and yelled at his stoopit, sweaty, twitchy electrocuted face.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

@@lucasthompson1650: Just one ungloved hand? You can't get electrocuted that way. "Royal 'you' "? Huhh, what? "Stoopit"? That made no sense; it's not even a word. "Electrocuted face"? Oh yeah, how did he supposedly die?

[@lucasthompson1650]

@@HelloKittyFanMan. He didn’t die, just got some bad burns on his hands and bottoms of his feet (bare feet, on a concrete sidewalk) … but I felt he was “illustrating” how someone might electrocute themselves while trying to implement a project like this. 😉

8 GB apiece? OK, so they actually don't have hard drive space, then.

[@critikasalihmeylani]

Would vpn work against these devices, or allow users to protect their data..?

[@thewhitefalcon8539]

Much has changed in 8 years.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Well, to believe in immortality for real, it's about understanding what happens to us after the time we spend in the spirit world when we die -- we gain our bodies back, perfected (resurrection) -- and the role Jesus Christ has in that.
