The guy silently eating his kebab and chips is without a doubt the scariest guy in there. He doesn’t tense up, and he stays vigilant but uninvolved. This is the look of a person who knows he can end all of this if he needs to. Legit.

My Krav Maga instructor is a woman and she’s a certified badass who would destroy any man dumb enough to challenge her. I hope some day I will also be able to fight like a girl.

If you come to @BlackHatEvents, @BSidesLV, or @defcon and your impostor syndrome goes through the roof when they see all the cool things everyone is working on. That's okay!! It means you're not an arrogant prick. Stay humble, keep learning, and have fun. #BHUSA #bsideslv #defcon

So, this just arrived. Only other hackers can understand how happy I am right now. It even plays the 1700+2200Hz tones when you drop coins into it.😍 The importance of this device in my formative hacker years can’t be overstated. #payphone #nynex #phreak #phreaker #hacker #defcon
