This talk includes a series of favorite hacking stories. From hacking into a prison system to having the ability to publish “fake news” on a major tech companies website to even breaking into some of the largest entertainment and online casinos. This talk will take a look at the identification, exploitation, and escalation paths as well as the possible impact based on the company’s organization and nature of work.

DEF CON (also written as DEFCON, Defcon or DC) is a hacker convention held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first DEF CON took place in June 1993 and today many attendees at DEF CON include computer security professionals, journalists, lawyers, federal government employees, security researchers, students, and hackers with a general interest in software, computer architecture, hardware modification, conference badges, and anything else that can be "hacked". The event consists of several tracks of speakers about computer- and hacking-related subjects, as well as cyber-security challenges and competitions (known as hacking wargames). Contests held during the event are extremely varied, and can range from creating the longest Wi-Fi connection to finding the most effective way to cool a beer in the Nevada heat.
