Holy crapballs! Back in 2009, a group I was in ran a CTF (SMPCTF, not sure if anyone remembers it) and PPP was at the top of the leaderboard. It was a three-day event over a weekend and was a tonne of fun. Our group disbanded a few years after that but hearing about PPP brings back amazing memories of that weekend. Thanks for another amazing episode and know that these stories can be more than just a story to some people.

This podcast is criminally underrated

Glad your reposting these on YT, hopefully these stories will hit another audience.

Your story telling is out if this world Jack. I was loving every moment of your story.

Daaamn, my favorite podcast is now on youtube? Hella! Hope more folks discover you here, you produce some really great stuff :D

If you think about it tho, you got a badge even rarer than the coveted black badge my dude, gratz! 🤜🤛

These are my go-to videos as an escape room for my brain, away from the world that seems insane.

I went to devry back in 06-07. The uni had a thing kind of similar. There was a class you would take later into the course where you would learn offensive and defensive apps and security. During the finals the class would get split up into various groups. One team was to defend a server, another was to attack the server. They each had goals, such as the offensive team trying to retrieve certain files or bring down a server for x mins. The defense team was there to prevent it. One year one of the offensive teams just snuck by the defense team and unplugged the opposing teams ethernet from the server. It was such a stupid little thing that the defense team didn't bother checking it for like 45 mins. It was perfect. The hiding under the table thing made me think about that.

Dude…I can’t lie. I thought that first story would be daft. By the end I was routing for you!❤️ Great pace and delivery. You’re an amazing storyteller!

These places sound like a recruiting center for the feds

I'd love to compete in DEFCON ctf when I get in college and I have a cert in html. I tried their beginning CTF and I still didn't know what I was doing. This shit they're doing is crazy

I don’t know a thing about hacking but love these podcasts.

Man.These just get better and better

This channel is much needed. Great work! Keep em comin

Man I love Defcon! So many great stories and memories!

I love, loving love. Jack you makes such incredible podcasts. What an awesome story, With great ending, and it’s still being written. I hope you get a chance to document more of this guys career. I’d love to hear another podcast about this in the future and hear development about PPP.

Keep this up, I really appreciate your videos, thank you!

excellent episode my man, keep it up!

Man you might be about the best channel on UKposts. I absolutely cannot get enough

as usual jack.. awesome work!

awesome video!! keep up the good work!

Just ordered a shirt! Love your videos!

What a great video!! Phenomenal!!

Really loved this one

Had to listen to this one twice, this time I paid more attention to PPP, damn!

Does anyone leave there with there money? I mean it screams (leave all forms of currency at home)! We use shady subtle nods as currency and a black hoodie is like the wrist band to get in. Me I just wear my birthday suit and get a temporary Linus Torvalds tattoo over my long Proxy Tunnel and honestly after I got out of jail everyone was really supportive so thank you. Lol

This kind of badge puzzle is what makes me want to learn, it sounds like a lot of fun!

Is hacking the scoreboard allowed ? Just put your team on the 1st place, that's the real target.

Oh men I love the stories I stopped picking stories I just look for what I haven't watched and I'm never disappointed

I love this podcast but if you put the episode number in the beginning it would be a lot easier to follow along

Inspiring, thank you

Can't wait till next year's event!

One year they had badges that hosted a little ad-hoc game where you could hack each others badges I can't remember what year it was but I think Joe "Kingpin" Grand designed them.

one of my favorites, especially because i love RE

Holy crap I used geohat!!! Great episode! My MacBook M1 uses ARM. It’s been an interesting journey putting VM on it!

Great episode

YEEEEEEEEEEEEE BBY HERE WE GO!

Love this episode

I don’t even know how to do any sort of hacking but I’ve watched almost all of your videos keep them up very interesting

a true badge of honour isn't worn on your chest but in your heart.. -me '23

very cool episode

Dude probably expected a group of hackers to copy the black badge and disperse them amongst all of you which is why he gave yall 1. He probably just expected yall to understand what to do with it...js

Hey @Jack Try to interview recent hacker who hacked Optus telephone network in Australia

We need to start up a live vm hackathon...

I love this one

amazing video bro

God I love your episodes.

0:14 did you have Dennys, Outback, or the Golden Steer? .. how does JR do Vegas?

What did you mention earlier? Pico Ctf to get started?

Defcon sounds so cool but I'd honestly be afraid of getting hacked by someone there 😭

54:00-54:25 I agree that they are there too (and according to your other episode(s)). It's spiritually sort of their whole purpose - to remain *"anonymous"* (hoodies and all). 😜 Holy moly! August 8th Thursday is in 2024.😮 That's roughly 13 months from now.

1:20 😂 Jack sounding like Joe Brandon telling a story 💀 same tone of voice and everything lmao

Everyone was ranting over apples ARM mx chips for a minute. Is that no longer a thing?

In my opinion The guy who squeaked should have gotten the black badge.

Jack sounds like Hoop from the old adult swim show Stroker and Hoop

I always wondered about marathon things like this CTF and Le Mans. I suspect amphetamine is a big factor

Can u PLEASE PLEASE do a video podcast of. The kgb the computer and me, the video ison UKposts.. It's the true story of clifford stoll . He wrote a book called the Cuckoo's egg. Please even if you don't put this on your podcast, please check out the video on UKposts I think you will enjoy it

I think. The last guy. Who. Say. W8 w8 i got something. He is the winner

Lmaooooo wow! I wanna go.

Yeaaaaaasaa baby

use your photo app> capture written characters with the scan feature > copy> paste into favorite translator …

This would make a great anime.

Cool Story....Yeah you WON THE BLACK BADGE.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Damn I don’t live too far away I could study in a core more related to hacking but I wanna learn hardware

Dang let’s go another eopidos

So close to the black badge

Does anyone know the Name of the soundtrack from 29:00

Defcon 1 Hardstyle

Geohotz is a legend 45:20

He gave me HELL because President Vucic don't care.

I was here

58:00

yeah fuck that. ida just fuckin got the group in heated debate over who should get it at the end, and then just fuckin grab that shit. peace out, a buncha hackers talkin bout "fair way to decide who gets the badge" lmao. when its like.. whoever gets it keeps it...? just steal xD

For those who are wondering, they won defcon 27

Why do you credit George so much for his hacking and don't mention anything about comma AI?

This just raises so many questions about just how meta you're allowed to get in Defcon CTF. Like...sneaking an Ethernet cable into an opponent's router, legal. Hiding under an opponent's desk to overhear what they're doing, legal. ...can you find an opponent's IRL info and attempt to, say, make them think they have a family member in the hospital in poor condition to where they'd leave the competition, to get rid of an opposing team's top talent that way? Part of me wants the world's governments to agree that holding a black badge = full immunity from the consequences of any crime they commit involving a computer, no matter what.

52:00 c

48:00 my computer uses ARM 🤔 I don't think I'm that weird… Just kidding, only somewhat recently has Windows finally been putting in some hours in making things working right like *ARM64EC.* I'm glad it's becoming more standard, and it looks like *LoongArch, RISC-V and MIPS* are becoming way more prevalent. I love *CTF* stories, I'd love to be a part of a group like that sounds like such a fun time

+1 for the algorithm

Lol my computer uses arm.

When are you going to share your knowledge as a course?

What do you call a convict convention contest? lol

i wouldn't go to defcon ever, unless serious money is involved in winning.

If you put 10x the effort you will definitely be 10x ahead of everyone. P. S. excellently executed podcasts🙏

How stupdi is that. One badge?? At least have 5 or so ready for one team.

ქერქის გული

👩‍💻💓Tech all the way 😉

😂😂 plaid parliament of ponies 😂😂

trix are for kids

private blogg

The "fake yelling" doesn't help set the tone or create atmosphere. Very very annoying is all. Please please please tone down the dramatization with your voice; not trying to be a jerk, its just you're not good enough at it to pull it off and it isn't adding anything to the video.

Can you create a rumble account and upload their too. Please bro.

Defcon sucks now

5:30 cringe

:3 🤝😅🔥🔥👻👻🌲🌲🎇🎆🛷🥳🎅🤶☃️⛄Merry Xmas!

Love this episode
