#CyS how to invent a discipline and industry.

The legendary Cliff Stoll gave a talk at DEF CON 34 in Las Vegas this month. He talked about the hacking incident that he experienced and investigated, and wrote about in his book "The Cuckoo's Egg" (1989). He's hilarious, and if you haven't read the book, it's very interesting. The book covers the incident in much greater depth, of course.
You can watch it here:

However, I was really struck watching it for the bits where part of the audience is visible. I don't know why they're all - or many, anyways - wearing headphones, or why those headphones have a giant illuminated logo on them - but it makes this look like a scene from "THX 1138" (1971), or maybe from a cult.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart screen by AdeptApril is the first file in the new books-themed MIST0426 artpack, so it's also the first work from that collection that we'll profile. On request from Zeromous, it is an adaptation of the front cover to #CliffordStoll's 1989 hacker bestseller #TheCuckoosEgg .

Mistodon: this #ANSIart screen by AdeptApril is the first file to appear, alphabetically, in the new books-themed MIST0426 artpack, so it is also the first individual work from that collection that we will profile.

@AlexJimenez
as long CyS practices the misconception of "need to know principle" nothing will improve, which is sad, even the #TheCuckoosEgg by Clifford Stoll should have educated enough https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo%27s_Egg_(book)
making the beginning of cybersecurity all along - a fine read on many levels

and there is another view,
recently #TheCuckoosEgg came up again,
and there a feature in sendmail was exploited by vandals to wrack systems dedicated to science and research, systems my adored particle physicists are using to add to our understanding the universe
sendmail switch to debugging and allowed anyone from the distant to execute command in privileged mode,
it was added by a truly honest engineer only thinking about bug hunting, but vandals like #ChaosComputerClub fools
hackers are vandals
destoying trust and openness
indeed I agree
there is no creative anachry
do not break trust

tell people the truth and they respect the need for secrecy
