All DefCon 15 Session and Panel Videos - Batch 1

I know that somebody will be pissed and mad at me right now, but who gives a fuck :). Here is the first batch of videos of 47 sessions and panels (of a total of 122), from the world largest hacker conference, DefCon 15, which was held on August 3 - 5, 2007 at the Rivera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

All videos together is a set of 10 DVD-ROMs!!! full of movie files. Bear with me while I am working on getting the rest of the videos up on-line. It's a pain in the ass and a lot of tedious work.

The Session Videos - Batch I

The videos are sold commercially for several hundred dollars, but who has that amount of money flying around, right? Okay, I paid the money. So you are welcome.

And anyway, isn't DefCon not about making exploits and scams public? I make them public, alright? Not the way some might have planned, but that is not my problem. I did not get the "Black Hat" sessions and have now second thoughts about it. They cost much less if you ordered it on-site. Damn, I hope somebody else will put them up on the Internet.

Okay, the first batch includes the following sessions, which are IMO the most interesting ones.

I was writing about one particular session already twice here at my blog, here and the second time here.

It's the session with Brendan O'Connor titled "Greater than 1: Defeating "Strong" Authentication in Web Applications". If you did not believe me, watch it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears.

Here is the video of that session. There is unfortunately no video recording of the discussion that happened afterwards in a different room, but I think that the session will be enough to open some people's eyes.



Got it? Gee....

Update: Get the DefCon 15 Session Videos Batch II remaining sessions from track one.

Update II: Get the DefCon 15 Session Videos Batch III remaining sessions from track two and three and ...
DefCon 15 Session Videos Batch IV (final batch) remaining sessions from track four and five.



Enjoy the videos! Cheers!

The Colors of YouTube Custom Players

The announcement of the YouTube custom player feature is already a while old and I even created a player, but never used it yet.

I thought it is time to show it to you :).

Here is a custom player with all my YouTube Videos (stuff I uploaded there)

Update. I removed the one player, because that account I were talking about was closed. I have several other accounts now.

Here some players for my favorite play lists... such as the EBM Playlist



Here is another one, my Cirque Du Soleil Play List, which has my favorite videos and videos uploaded by me at YouTube about Cirque Du Soleil.



Noticed something? Right, different colors hehe. You can also select between two styles of players, The one for the EBM play list uses the smaller format. I am not sure if I like it, but the video selection comes kinda cool. Mhh...

Sweet, isn't it?

Cheers!

Smack My Bitch Up

I was just browsing around a little bit at YouTube.com and found a video, which I remembered well from a couple of years ago. Its a video from the British band "The Prodigy". They have a tendency to create controversy with their music and their videos, some might even say "crazy", but what means crazy in this day and age?

I like a number of songs from The Prodigy, among my favorites are "Firestarter", "Narayan", "No Good", "Out of Space" and "Breathe" ... and this one...

Be warned, this video was even "too much" for the much more open European TV stations. MTV Europe had to take it off the air because of massive numbers of complaints by concerned parents and organizations. I think that taking it off the air was not a good decision. The video was not glorifying abuse and violence. I would say that it did exactly the opposite.

I don't think that anybody with a single functional brain cell left would be encouraged to mimic the behavior shown in the video. It is not an unrealistic depiction of things as it is often done in Hollywood movies. People that behave like this do exist and the video shows very realistically all the "fun" and "ugly" aspects of this.
