Scientific Hooliganism: The History of Hacking

We focus so much on the next great exploit, when have we looked back to see where we come from? Let me take you on a journey back through time, to the first 'hack' ever pulled off. Then, wander with me as we trace the history of our storied profession, from thousands of years ago, all the way to the modern day.

Ever seen a pop-up box with '1' in the centre and wondered "what's the impact there"? Well - wonder no longer. By the end of this talk, you'll have learnt how to turn pop ups into beacons, and hopefully had some fun along the way.
