if I to school with a slide deck and
just just off your fucking as I as I go
30 buddy alright so this is the
expression Hydra history talk and we're
going to come look at the events the
people the inventions that the kind of
got a summer rest day so will mine my
name is Brad Swanson I'm the incident
response lead ores end us or a customer
service sell through the service company
based out of San Francisco I'm actually
based out of Madison office here got
roughly 20 years in in digital security
most of it primarily is a good guy um
everybody had that youthful indiscretion
right started out when I was a young
Impala fine and I was born executive for
inviting the CPM um head on Jana as a I
found venus is a young age and started
doing courier word for groups like
browsing through fairlight doing crash
stuff like that which because the phone
goes out to the first month led to a
recreational interested in the phone
systems um my favorite day is social
engineering love social engineering
straight I've got cars out of people
when I was you alright goodnight cars
and money various other things but I'd
rather live in my favor so anyways so me
a hacker conference was talking about
how we got here how do we put home given
this this happy group this community if
you will we can't have to look at what
is a hacker and my favorite definition
of a hatchery so it'd be the spanking
hackers versus crackers and that I
booked into a system a subtractor at
this time is it's bc i shoot lasers on
the top but it's favorite show is on
he's a hacker my favorite definition is
one by Peter Ludlow who is a a language
philosopher and Peter said that a hacker
is someone who takes traditional
technologies and it makes us a month
gives them a new purpose and so that's
kind of what we're going to talk about
today some of the technology and some of
the people that have done these things
I'm sorry to start with technology it
all starts kind of back 1868 we had a
gentleman in Washington eight-year
Schultz here and visit the first
commercially viable typewriter right
Milan d and there were typewriters
before that but they they were
commercially viable people don't want to
use them or they were named be marketed
throwing a reason thanks for his
typewriter miss Markham people wanted a
people bought successful he also was the
individual that brought us the QWERTY
award the qwerty keyboard was designed
by me of you have used an old school
type writer has like mechanical arm
tried to go up and get it ribbon putting
the characters on your paper what
happened is those arms would be close
together you start typing to arms and
local ones they bind up nice target on
my trapeze bitter herb appear Kristen
percenter that's really not a good way
to do things hopefully ladies feasible
but better so we don't have this issue
and so we came up with the qwerty
keyboard layout and it's just stuff but
I worry about see binding anymore but
it's conveniently everybody's used to it
we also had a lot of genetics work that
took place stay and Wisconsin initially
um in 1810 a lot of people think
genetics is the new thing but in 1810
the UW Byrnison created the very first
genetics
in the US and initially referred to us
as the department of experimental
breeding and it is Delta Janice of camel
so you have the female cow and she's a
good milk producer have a male down he's
got good genes what happens when we take
these two tousand with good traits and
read them the baby tell good traits and
so they kind of looked into genetics as
far as milk production you know beef
production what makes a cow that has
more meat on its bones that a scrawny
cow and they they were able to do a lot
of a kind of early research there are a
lot of advancements of genetics and
Wisconsin over the course of the years
and it's gotten us to where we are today
that we have the the bio hacking village
I encourage every stop by check it out
talk to those folks that say it's a
great villains to see there is no
experimental breeding as neat biohacking
village so just want to get that up
there up front I stopped by a whole
nervous of birthday okay he's ah so then
moving on kind of technology wise radio
early radio was a kind of a big thing at
the UW I 1915 they had a radio station
called 9xm and then accept what they did
is they talked to other universities and
kind of the quad state areas they could
reach what their signal was all in Morse
code they would talk about weather
forecasts what's the weather doing in
Iowa Barney I was hoping we better get
ready because they're probably headed
this way they talked about sports Wars
you know what was the for the college
game in 1917 they take it one step
further so immersed go to school but not
many people know Morse code what if we
could do regular audio will do regular
audio out over the
it was it was pretty cool stuff at the
time they found that people didn't like
it there are few people if you receive
these transmissions of their home and
they thought it was the stupidest thing
I knew who needs racial who wants to get
these radio transmissions of audio in
their house playing music maybe when I
can walk over to my record player motor
brighter um every time i say off by the
way everybody is to take a drink it's a
new kind of game and there you go so
they would broadcast audio didn't really
catch on quick it took some time for
provokes is used to that it have three
US House Mafia act and apparently they
educate licensed by FCC a wonderful tax
gathering organization and then you give
them their official license to broadcast
in 1922 and done a cool thing about 9xm
as its toll in the air today we don't
know if it's whaa ok mwha but it's the
same broadcasting license safe room what
up say people obviously because the same
the same organization coyote eww kind of
pushed through that and it is actually
the oldest radio station at this point
in the entire United States which is
kind of cool love at a bragging rights
for Wisconsin there so radio that's cool
where do we go from radio looking to
pass for a little bit 1947 an individual
need Jonathan Bardis who was from
Wisconsin and his partners at Bell Labs
mr. retain and mr. Shadley invested
transistor then come up with a working
transistor they take it to their boss
and say hey look what we made this and
kept it up and that was I in December
23rd very Christmas right here's a
transistor this really paved the way for
the modern day computer revolution
transistors for the start of everything
it allows us to have telephones we don't
have to hold on a cart behind us because
they're massive you know computers went
from a room to a Raspberry Pi that you
can hold in the palm of your hand you
transistors really kind of let us take
off with that no idea Big name of John
bardy is the guy was super sport and
transistors were not his first love was
a project he work done he as a bell but
wasn't his kind of his thing his then
was magnetics and superconductor he
thought sure conductors were attached me
out it's on the 70s it were tons of
superconductors stuff that within two
MRIs and he won a Nobel Peace Prize not
only for the transistor he also went
Nobel Peace Prize for tomorrow so he's
the only individual from everyone to
Nobel Peace Prizes of visits in some
Wisconsin super cool like that there was
drama Radha transistor so I mentioned
that he worked with a mr. McCain and mr.
shively mr. Charlene would tell people
yet I had been at the transistor whereas
pertaining bardeen would say hey this
group we invented the transistor sean's
we got man Shockley said I don't like
you guys anymore among printing you guys
on Facebook and actually when either one
bit more transistor technology and left
these guys out kind of cut them off from
the projects on so kind of some early
days eighteen forties travel for him
none so yeah john bardeen cool guy and
this transistor well so we have two
transistor that's a huge undertaking but
what good is a transistor unless we have
a way to really use that a lot they see
58 comes along and Jack st. Clair kill
be so they lost miniaturize stuff let's
make stuff smaller to fit more n and
tweeting this the first integrated
circuit it was clucky there's a picture
of my slide if you guys can see that
call it cut that's pudgy it was
basically a terms of silicon with a
couple of components
I stood by a gold wire and that's what
what'd you do to Lydia you'll see the
picture if you'd be like that works but
it is it and it allowed texas
instruments we work for the time to get
a patent for major I circuits Jen was a
Wisconsin I kind of took the surround
that when he's bendin he was cutting
plate dallas but we think rotiform
regardless and so this allowed us to
kind of take these things the transistor
and your integrated circuits and now
these computers again are coming down
there getting smaller and faster what a
coincidence this all have the rapper
Ozma I'm not saying one way or the other
but oh well I'm doing this time here I
am perfectly um so let's start what some
people will quit we have some actually
some some pretty pretty cool people some
pretty interesting people two pretty
famous people from Wisconsin and we talk
to us some of these people in their
inventions but these are people we got
to talking about that are more focused
on the other person if you will the
first one larry'll and whoever's even
familiar with larry land whoever of his
work anybody okay so Larry land Weber
was way ahead of time and nineteen
seventy seventy came up with an idea he
was a research scientist he said quite
great if I could talk to my fellow
research scientists at these other
organizations without having to write a
letter stamp on it put it in the mail so
we develop that they've all three men
and it was for theoretical computer
scientist to be able to send this new
thing called email or electronic mail
back and forth get like a hundred people
on it and it was a huge success he said
wow this is great what if we can share
more information and just these pretty
messages back and forth so in 79 he
takes it a step further reading visit
thing called CS 90 does the computer
science Network and it was the
university government and industry
research
groups for able to get on this network
and do things it was him a precursor to
the National Science Foundation's
network they had over 100 80
participants on this by 1984 and then
the 1980s he also helped to develop the
first gateways between the US and Europe
Latin America Asia he said you win this
great technology lecture of the world
and then 8790 to me also worked on a
national science foundation / DARPA
joint venture on a debit testbed project
would you're going to allow gigabit
internet speed that doesn't sell as much
to us now a bomb we call she has to say
even gave that fibrin in my home and a
stair two days later but in 87 Gabe it
was fast I mean that was a big deal now
with Larry one of the issues is that
we've seen our hackers are so finding it
finding and exporting holes from the
original CS net days so basically this
guy's built the backbone of the internet
and it wasn't built for security
everybody was on that network was
trusted but now we take that back bull
we add unknown people into it they're
not all trusted as bad guys on it and
they're trying to exploit some of that
that kind of technology and the theory
behind it to the fact that security was
not at the forefront of his mind and the
nineteen seventies um Larry is still
around he is a great guy he was inducted
to the Internet hall of fame in 2012 and
he is still welcome projects right now
he's working on a project to make dinner
and worse appearance called gene the
mobile environment for network
innovations and this is the natural
science foundation project that says hey
what's the internet get old like 5 years
10 years 20 years from now what's the
future
where are we going you know this is
where we've come from Harvey state the
seventh row Larry had a ham and a quote
that is actually I really like this um
his what was what I love most about this
field is it matter what you've done in
the past the future is always more
exciting yeah this kind of gives you
hope you know legit much as then hey now
what's going to be stuck my going to be
going on monday i'm pretty happy going
back to work yeah um now if you come to
a gentleman by the name of Daniel plays
again later tonight dan was going to try
and make it I guess he done so Daniel
created a web forums called dart code
calm and these forums were made with the
purpose of bringing together alleged
attackers and other criminals to pray
mill where that important um Daniel own
of selling some malware designed to
harvest usernames and passwords on a
network traffic to an undercover FBI
agent in 2010 he was charged with
misdemeanor and assistance to two years
probation as a condition of that
information he has to give free security
talks to large companies companies that
might have websites that are white and
blue you can post people on you know
that you compensated for these upper TI
somebody gets airfare hotel and meals
but he has to go and teach them all the
bad things you can do to their network
um he started out he got a started
writing but khobragade's he robots for
online games who that was as then he
were not a cone high school life to tie
his teacher cuz mentor to him wrote this
code said having goods is this is
something I could do and then it kind of
went old is downhill as he got entity
kind of legal code writing I was
inducing the FBI do by a third party at
present
he's done work with before and still
unknown if this third party chooses
noses hey this is an FBI agent or if
that third party was in trouble and was
like why do my friend Daniel if you took
my son's down nobody really knows um
Daniel little code the test is cody
tested FBI code and the FBI's going
pulled millions of addresses per day
work great but does this make sure the
Yeti never used he never once used a
credit card he just wrote the code and
got paid that way the way they caught
him he was using the third party service
of the Caribbean to ride all his funds
to right I'll haven't paid a Caribbean
into the Caribbean around my bank
account instead of the Caribbean here's
the real name so yeah thnkx not nice and
this by the way in the 4-1 boards uh Tim
are you in here ok the port 14 for a
group of hackers that were active in the
Milwaukee area back in the early
eighties 82 83 this is before there were
hacking loss then he broke into banks
and the hospitals they got into on the
Los Alamos research lab they got in
sloan-kettering and they just have
explored their adventures I wanted to
poke around see how things worked they
got caught they tried to cover their
tracks that wipes the log files
sloan-kettering cost $1,500 was damaged
not not right um journal was the charge
of one they were famous they were on the
cover of Time magazine they went in from
the Congressional congressional
committees to want to talk about hey
this is what we do this is how we do it
and this is how you should write the
laws so the Computer Fraud and very
computer crime Abuse Act of 1986 was
written in part by those guns um day
where the loser total conference anyway
it should probably sit some of this me
over that on most of them had charge
they were told runs from a solid pinky
swear with us the government that you
will stop doing this oh and gustan carry
the 1500 website I know that restitution
to the word shall merge with making
harassing phone calls because what i
need to do how they get it with a bone
okay let's charge was fun your online
stuff both whitney closing um i just
want to say that we need to pass the
torch to those who come after us the art
history is very important very important
remember where we came from and how we
got to where we are today it was at the
whole 1990s he's leader he's not least
i'm not even gonna talk is it's crap you
know let's let's posture these these
people are coming up through the ranks
when we're old and senile they're gonna
be the ones that are doing what we're do
it now so let's let's make sure and
cream right and get them that excitement
that we felt when we were young we
discover descends I'm just a mountain on
this they're not going to know love cell
let's help them out um I apologize for
the technical difficulties any questions
perfect baby
