Speaker: Matt 'openfly' Joyce

Trolling is something that today has a very negative connotation on the Internet and in the common usage of the word outside of it. However, for better or worse trolling has long enjoyed a close relationship with hacking be it in the area of information security, or simply in technology development. I intend to delve into the definition of a troll, the history of trolling in human culture ( as well as its contributions ), and the techniques that are generally exploited by trolls to realize their intended goals. There will be several past projects that I classify as successful trolls that I will use as object lessons in the practical application of the discussed techniques. Trolls span the gaps between hardware and software projects and at times can carry a variety of "payloads".

    If he submitted the talk as a joke thinking it was going to be rejected like his other submissions. Does that mean Defcon trolled him by accepting it?
  • @WTFWalrus
    Best point: Being funny while trolling is key. A lot of people forget this point.
  • A topic submitted as a troll, about trolling, that was then accepted to troll said troll on trolling. We must go deeper
  • @DrugedSheep
    Only a troll would leave his mouse pointer on the screen for the whole time
  • @EeveeFromAlmia
    This talk is such an interesting time-capsule of early 2012, especially his language and the amount of troll faces here
  • @xinthralgaming
    "It's like the TSA doesn't know the law", laughed so hard I almost knocked my chair over.
  • @TheSymetrie77
    "The metric system is retarded" LOL best troll ever

  • @Eric_Kabucha_
    I have watched this video a billion times. I love Matt. He’s effortlessly funny and smart.
  • @samposyreeni
    One of the best ones so far. My two cents... Inject a reasonably small Markov-chain machine into a forum which adds swearing to some 10% of people's answers, rewrites another 20-30% into short, contentless, incendiary comments, and let the rest pass.Screencap like hell.

    If you like this, there's an old classic by John Cleese called "How to irritate people" it remains a foundation for effective trolling and is a must watch if you want to really irritate people while still being funny. :D It's kind of like the art of war, the details may be outdated, but the principles are timeless.

    " do you believe in slavery" no it was just a conspiracy
  • @blehe38
    Who knew comedy existed as far back as 2010? They really are just like us
  • One goal is to evoke the maximum number of words and effort in the response, with a minimum number of words and effort. Nothing like a 3 word line that gets some bozo typing for a half hour.
  • @8898samuel
    Comic Sans, pointer obstructing my view, his awful jokes — this is just a painful troll presentation.
  • @legion162
    Can believe that I watched the whole thing and actually enjoyed it.
