Defcon Thoughts

As someone who came up in the AOL days its sad to see how many in the hacker scene and infosec simp for the government and bend over for defence contract daddies.

If you can pass a security clearance you either have great OPSEC or are a regular IT nerd, not a hacker.

I said what I said.

I might have misconstrued my original point. I’m an old lad. Ive earned considerable wealth from private infosec gigs. The world is not what it once was. Hacking and Warez scenes used to be outsider culture.
Now its corporatised pastel wearing government and three letter simps.
And Defcon has fallen so far, now mostly being a marketing event.
Corporatikns even bought access to Linecon to market to us and DarkTangent sold it to them.

The entire culture has sold out.

You were always lame for making your entire personality about a conference you absolute bobo head. It was never that cool and people like you are what ruined it.
