HNNCast – New Episodes Every Sunday

Stolen Footage

HNN has recently suffered a small set back. We have lost all the footage that we shot while we were in San Francisco for RSA last February. That includes everything we shot on the RSA show floor, the Symantec Black Market, (which if it comes to your town you should visit) the hours of video we shot at the hacker space NoiseBridge, and several hours of a one on one interview with Joe ‘Kingpin’ Grand where we discussed everything from his stint on the hit TV show ‘Protoype This’ to all of the designs he has done for the Defcon badges. All of that footage is now gone.

Ok, Ok, the footage wasn’t lost, it was stolen, along with our video camera, laptop, microphone, hard drive lights, paperwork, etc etc etc Don’t let anyone tell you that physical security isn’t important.

For the time being HNN will soldier on. This will definitely impact all the episodes of “Behind the Firewall” we had planned to make with all that footage and the filming of a few “Buffer Overflow” episodes will now be delayed. We still plan on releasing episodes of HNNCast every week using a borrowed video camera and an old G5. You may notice a small drop in video quality but the content will maintain its ongoing high standards.

In the meantime if you would like to help us out, buy a T-Shirt. Or convince your boss to purchase an advertising or sponsorship package.

With any luck we will be back on our feet in time for HOPE and Defcon.

Old Sk00l April F00ls

So twelve years ago, back during the early HNN years, we did a pretty good April Fools Day news page that tricked quite a few people. We had stories about Mitnick whistling a modem carrier into a phone to unlock his jail cell, Microsoft buying Network Solutions, CERT going out of business and of course HNN getting defaced by none other than the mysterious Megan A Haquer.

We were to lame to come up with anything new this year so we’re just going to link to the bare web page (no chrome) from twelve years ago
