My mother will never believe that I was invited by @BiellaColeman to speak with her Harvard anthropology students—alongside @WeldPond (that part she believes) about the early days of hacker history. What a blast. #hackerhistory #infosec #oldskool #bestoftimes

@aphysicist My friend https://t.co/fxsraX2Gdp did this right, receiving an Academy Award (from Jessica Alba :-) for Sandman’s fluid dynamics in Spiderman 3. He also led all of NVIDIA’s deep learning strategy and software back in #AnnArbor, going from $4B to $1T+ market cap :-) #hackerhistory
This OpenSSH RCE advisory is a classic example of hacker craftsmanship, generosity of spirit, & community contribution - a regression of duke’s 2006 vuln, inspiration from @lcamtuf’s 2001 paper, etc. The legacy of @Qualys’ hacker founder @philpraxis continues! 🫡 #hackerhistory
The award-winning Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) has discovered a critical vulnerability in OpenSSH, designated CVE-2024-6387 and aptly named "regreSSHion." This Remote Code Execution bug grants full root access, posing a significant exploitation risk. https://t.co/uDHHSuzd5f
In 2010, a @DARPA-knighted Mudge (think Gandalf the White, vs Grey) rounded up the wizards, warlocks, & one _H*obbit ;-) to bring the hacker community to the DoD, like the IC… https://t.co/DP8SNIl4Wr #hackerhistory
As a LT in 2012, I wrote an intemperate article that went viral expressing frustration with the slow pace of tech adoption in DoD.

It changed the course of my life.
You'd think the military would be the place most repressive of speech.
Yet a culture of discourse thrives, especially in times of War - and it's one of our distinctive battlefield advantages.
Leadership matters.
Citibank (no relation ;-) ran this cash card pilot for only 15 months in NY’s Upper West Side (I went; it sucked) while @CITIdotUMICH, thanks to Jim Rees (hacker emeritus, swing dancer, world traveler) partied like it’s 1999 😘🎉🏙️ #hackerhistory
“Money for Nothing, Chips for Free”: @peterhoneyman gleefully shares details, 25 yrs later, of @CITIdotUMICH’s Schlumberger Cyberflex smart card (8-bit 3.5 Mhz microprocessor) hijinks - jackpotting machines 12 years before Barnaby Jack (RIP) 🙏🏙️ #hackerhistory

In 1997, LHI (L0pht Heavy Industries) hung out a shingle for code reviews and product security reviews.
5 years later some of the team would be doing this work and teaching Microsoft how to secure products #hackerhistory

She didn’t just teach how to hack, as much as show it could be done, via manifestos, hacklogs, and leaks. «Para que nos vieran, nos tapamos el rostro» 🏴 https://t.co/KJy5HQsLSR #hackerhistory

The 8th @MHacks at #Detroit’s 1,037-room @MasonicDet was basically Zombieland - 2200+ kids running on energy drinks, PB&J, and delirium: https://t.co/RJsB5NuqIo #hackerhistory
In my day, we didn't get high to hack - we hacked to get high! 🤪 Also, why Python? You need to be on drugs to use Ruby! cc: @hdmoore #w00w00 #hackerhistory
Ever wonder what role drugs play in the software industry? In the first qualitative study on the topic, @WeimerWestley and coauthors explore the conflicting policies and pressures programmers face when it comes to psychoactive substances in the workplace.
