[@brianvarren]

This podcast is criminally underrated

[@Zenobeus]

Glad your reposting these on YT, hopefully these stories will hit another audience.

Holy crapballs! Back in 2009, a group I was in ran a CTF (SMPCTF, not sure if anyone remembers it) and PPP was at the top of the leaderboard. It was a three-day event over a weekend and was a tonne of fun. Our group disbanded a few years after that but hearing about PPP brings back amazing memories of that weekend. Thanks for another amazing episode and know that these stories can be more than just a story to some people.

[@KenSherman]

Holy crapballs?! 🤣 LMAO. I feel a part 2 is in order.😉

[@sfurtado3]

Sounds good if the holy crapballs have spices, onions into stuffed mushrooms. Maybe even a pt 3 as well

[@Ataraxia_Atom]

Your story telling is out if this world Jack. I was loving every moment of your story.

Daaamn, my favorite podcast is now on youtube? Hella! Hope more folks discover you here, you produce some really great stuff :D

[@AFractal]

These are my go-to videos as an escape room for my brain, away from the world that seems insane.

[@Xizax41325]

I went to devry back in 06-07. The uni had a thing kind of similar. There was a class you would take later into the course where you would learn offensive and defensive apps and security. During the finals the class would get split up into various groups. One team was to defend a server, another was to attack the server. They each had goals, such as the offensive team trying to retrieve certain files or bring down a server for x mins. The defense team was there to prevent it. One year one of the offensive teams just snuck by the defense team and unplugged the opposing teams ethernet from the server. It was such a stupid little thing that the defense team didn't bother checking it for like 45 mins. It was perfect. The hiding under the table thing made me think about that.

[@GgWhyfye]

Such a good anecdote, And a microcosm of life itself lol

[@cdreid9999]

Top Tier critical thinking. None of us practice it enough.

[@PhilieBlunt666]

If you think about it tho, you got a badge even rarer than the coveted black badge my dude, gratz! 🤜🤛

[@NortsGhoul]

I don’t know a thing about hacking but love these podcasts.

[@mikehuff9793]

Dude…I can’t lie. I thought that first story would be daft. By the end I was routing for you!❤️ Great pace and delivery. You’re an amazing storyteller!

[@CONNECTSEOUK]

Man.These just get better and better

[@o1-preview]

What a LEGEND!!! Amazing Darknet Diaries episode on this one! Wow!!

[@markbosky]

Man I love Defcon! So many great stories and memories!

[@jchastain789]

Man you might be about the best channel on KZbin. I absolutely cannot get enough

[@gavrielshemesh7825]

I'd love to compete in DEFCON ctf when I get in college and I have a cert in html. I tried their beginning CTF and I still didn't know what I was doing. This shit they're doing is crazy

[@yikesmoment01]

I wish you luck! Though, your html cert won't mean a thing.

[@gavrielshemesh7825]

@@yikesmoment01 I know. HTML is barely even a programming language. Since this comment has been posted I’ve learned some more about cybersecurity but I still suck at CTFs

[@AvastarBin]

​@@yikesmoment01what if I also good with Dreamweaver?

[@920WASHBURN]

These places sound like a recruiting center for the feds

[@myothernameistaken]

They are.

[@cdreid9999]

The establishment used to Hate defcon..publicly. Then all sneak out to them every year. The fbi etc figured out if you want to catch hackers..hire hackers

[@sirushraiz1881]

I love, loving love. Jack you makes such incredible podcasts. What an awesome story, With great ending, and it’s still being written. I hope you get a chance to document more of this guys career. I’d love to hear another podcast about this in the future and hear development about PPP.

[@Joseph-on7nf]

Really loved this one

[@0therun1t21]

This kind of badge puzzle is what makes me want to learn, it sounds like a lot of fun!

[@2Clean4This1]

Keep this up, I really appreciate your videos, thank you!

[@0therun1t21]

Had to listen to this one twice, this time I paid more attention to PPP, damn!

[@monkisethojane2218]

Oh men I love the stories I stopped picking stories I just look for what I haven't watched and I'm never disappointed

[@Dalin_B]

This channel is much needed. Great work! Keep em comin

[@kiraa_]

awesome video!! keep up the good work!

[@wolfien]

as usual jack.. awesome work!

[@marinomarougi1991]

Just ordered a shirt! Love your videos!

[@oregonvibez]

1:20 😂 Jack sounding like Joe Brandon telling a story 💀 same tone of voice and everything lmao

[@joker28666]

excellent episode my man, keep it up!

[@wirer0p497]

one of my favorites, especially because i love RE

[@DursunX]

a true badge of honour isn't worn on your chest but in your heart.. -me '23

[@mytechnotalent]

Can't wait till next year's event!

[@To-mos]

One year they had badges that hosted a little ad-hoc game where you could hack each others badges I can't remember what year it was but I think Joe "Kingpin" Grand designed them.

[@danielgraham8266]

I don’t even know how to do any sort of hacking but I’ve watched almost all of your videos keep them up very interesting

[@dustinhxc]

Holy crap I used geohat!!! Great episode! My MacBook M1 uses ARM. It’s been an interesting journey putting VM on it!

[@byLags]

What a great video!! Phenomenal!!

[@letenof]

Is hacking the scoreboard allowed ? Just put your team on the 1st place, that's the real target.

[@MewtwoStruckBack]

This should 100% be a valid way to win

[@LarsV62]

I highly doubt that’s legal, since the organisers run that board? It was mentioned in the video that hacking the organisers was not allowed.

[@KenSherman]

54:00-54:25 I agree that they are there too (and according to your other episode(s)). It's spiritually sort of their whole purpose - to remain *"anonymous"* (hoodies and all). 😜 Holy moly! August 8th Thursday is in 2024.😮 That's roughly 13 months from now.

[@_gatsby]

0:14 did you have Dennys, Outback, or the Golden Steer? .. how does JR do Vegas?

[@kwisin1337]

We need to start up a live vm hackathon...

[@danielmadeira2438]

Inspiring, thank you

[@aznperswazinable]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEE BBY HERE WE GO!

[@LinoBarraza]

Love this episode

[@chrisdyck1995]

In my opinion The guy who squeaked should have gotten the black badge.

[@Wreckz_Tea]

Dude probably expected a group of hackers to copy the black badge and disperse them amongst all of you which is why he gave yall 1. He probably just expected yall to understand what to do with it...js

[@tonybloodloss]

I think it has some electronic chip inside it or something like that

[@arjunkishore]

Hey @Jack Try to interview recent hacker who hacked Optus telephone network in Australia

[@Jsanon00]

Great episode

[@bart_ender6116]

I love this podcast but if you put the episode number in the beginning it would be a lot easier to follow along

[@justinconnor3721]

What did you mention earlier? Pico Ctf to get started?

[@hazewalker9888]

Does anyone know the Name of the soundtrack from 29:00

[@millacentbystander2992]

Does anyone leave there with there money? I mean it screams (leave all forms of currency at home)! We use shady subtle nods as currency and a black hoodie is like the wrist band to get in. Me I just wear my birthday suit and get a temporary Linus Torvalds tattoo over my long Proxy Tunnel and honestly after I got out of jail everyone was really supportive so thank you. Lol

[@josh.salles]

48:00 my computer uses ARM 🤔 I don't think I'm that weird… Just kidding, only somewhat recently has Windows finally been putting in some hours in making things working right like *ARM64EC.* I'm glad it's becoming more standard, and it looks like *LoongArch, RISC-V and MIPS* are becoming way more prevalent. I love *CTF* stories, I'd love to be a part of a group like that sounds like such a fun time

[@cdreid9999]

Im sorry man but risc will never be a thing despite riscnerds pushing it. It just throws away too much in return for some mips

[@oldgoat8861]

Cool Story....Yeah you WON THE BLACK BADGE.

[@JK-gm6kk]

Everyone was ranting over apples ARM mx chips for a minute. Is that no longer a thing?

very cool episode

[@JK-gm6kk]

Jack sounds like Hoop from the old adult swim show Stroker and Hoop

[@Singularity24601]

This would make a great anime.

[@JK-gm6kk]

I always wondered about marathon things like this CTF and Le Mans. I suspect amphetamine is a big factor

[@firefox5529]

Defcon sounds so cool but I'd honestly be afraid of getting hacked by someone there 😭

[@jamesmitchell6231]

Dang let’s go another eopidos

Can u PLEASE PLEASE do a video podcast of. The kgb the computer and me, the video ison KZbin.. It's the true story of clifford stoll . He wrote a book called the Cuckoo's egg. Please even if you don't put this on your podcast, please check out the video on KZbin I think you will enjoy it

So close to the black badge

[@TonyDaExpert]

Damn I don’t live too far away I could study in a core more related to hacking but I wanna learn hardware

[@qualiayt3579]

For those who are wondering, they won defcon 27

[@ChayThePlantBoss]

Lmaooooo wow! I wanna go.

[@MewtwoStruckBack]

This just raises so many questions about just how meta you're allowed to get in Defcon CTF. Like...sneaking an Ethernet cable into an opponent's router, legal. Hiding under an opponent's desk to overhear what they're doing, legal. ...can you find an opponent's IRL info and attempt to, say, make them think they have a family member in the hospital in poor condition to where they'd leave the competition, to get rid of an opposing team's top talent that way? Part of me wants the world's governments to agree that holding a black badge = full immunity from the consequences of any crime they commit involving a computer, no matter what.

[@dmanm85]

Why do you credit George so much for his hacking and don't mention anything about comma AI?

[@raresoupninja]

Anyone eles running on like round 5 of episodes waiting on This new schedule in 2024

[@trtrhr]

i wouldn't go to defcon ever, unless serious money is involved in winning.

The "fake yelling" doesn't help set the tone or create atmosphere. Very very annoying is all. Please please please tone down the dramatization with your voice; not trying to be a jerk, its just you're not good enough at it to pull it off and it isn't adding anything to the video.

In your opinion 😂 see how no one liked your comment, that's because you're wrong. :)
