Defcon 15 Videos - No Tech Hacking and Other Goodies

I stumbled on to this amazing video from Johnny Long called "No Tech Hacking." It's a presentation he gave at Defcon 15. I'll do you a favor and put a link in because you'll definitely want some of this after watching.


After watching that I started to wonder what other cool stuff Johnny Long had to offer. He actually has a whole book dedicated to the art of No Tech Hacking. Find it here on Amazon. He also has a book out about about how to hack Google. I don't think it's as much about SEO as it is about how to find sensitive information on Google. I bet he puts together some pretty interesting queries. If you want to pull up those edu gems that a running forum software from 2001 I bet this book will help.

About Defcon

I looked into Defcon a little more and it looks awesome. A lot of it is about data security, but they also have sessions on lockpicking, social engineering, and scraping data from old hard drives. This is the conference every boy dreams about.

The Defcon folks also like to have a little fun. Check this video out. Here they found out about a reporter that snuck into the conference:
