Def Con gave us a CD with our badges. Yep, a CD. And luckily we had a rental car with the technology to play the thing. This song was too important for us to keep from you: It's like some Sesame Street rap for bitcoin.Jordan: What do you think about this 'chill out' space?Daniel: The graphics are great, is ICP playing a secret guest performance? The air conditioning is very 'chill,' but that line is too long, and I really need a coffee. Ooh, check out that awesome map!Jordan: What the hell? "Real Time Attack Info"? Ok, cool.Daniel: Jordan, what are these people doing? And where are their computers?Jordan: They were smart, and didn't bring them. They're learning to manually hack locks. Picking is the proper term. It looks like they've been here for hours.Could there be anything more zen than good ol' analog lock hacking? At least a masterlock can't be remotely compromised.It's great for the kids too! Here's a group of future Snowdens that copped some free tools. Those pick sets are sure to get them into (and maybe, back out of) detention.
