World's Most Famous Hacker Kevin Mitnick & KnowBe4's Stu Sjouwerman Opening Keynote

you will wonder for whole lifetime, what was on that big screen.

The talk is good. But the cameraman is quite dumb. What's the point of zooming to Mitnick while he's trying to present something on the big screen?

Speaker: "Here look at this screen" Camerman: "Zooms in on speaker" How frustrating lol

I wish Kevin could hack the cameraman first then start his incredible talk

Oh man, the camera man is having a moment. He is most certainly a Mitnick fan. He captured the whole speech without missing a frown.

RIP Kevin, you will always be remembered !

I would love to spend a weekend learning from this guy. Life goals

There's a lot of comments criticizing the cameraman for not showing the screen. There's a reason for this. Up until Kevin started discussing the Wannacry cryptoworm attack, he was using and covering information largely based on an individual's key card from the audience. Although Kevin verbally says what he sees on the card, the cameraman wasn't going to post any or all of the information shown on the screen while the individual's personal work security was being discussed. Seems silly in a way, but we can thank all of the sharks for making our world the way it is.

Kevin has done the biggest hack of all. He has gotten them to trust him.

The cameraman may NOT be dumb. During this presentation one cameraman may have been filming this guy and then for the visuals, they use an application to switch to the screen the speaker is showing while the cameraman stays on the speaker for an easy switch back. Then perhaps this was put to YouTube as an afterthought. The cameraman was probably doing a good job for his live work.

This is the greatest camera work of all time

This was very informational for helping us increase our security. However, there are many times I wish we could see his examples on the big screen.

Thank you for mentioning an outbound firewall, they're so underrated. While a outbound firewall isn't as easy to impliment as an inbound firewall it can be extremely effective at preventing infected servers from connecting to C&C servers and even preventing RCE vulnerabilities such as log4shell. You'd ideally want to impliment an IP whitelist which will give you the best protection, although this is difficult to impliment it is very doable on servers. Many firewall appliances will typically have an IP blocklist, and while they're great at blocking known bad actor, at it's core it's simply enumerating badness. You can't make a list of every single known piece of malicious software or IP address.

It was fun to see the dude showing off that Mitnick is his friend.

Someone get that Cameraman an Oscar

Direct quote from Mitnick@ 21:27: "We could bypass any, what we call, PSP - personal security products.It doesn't matter what AV it is, it could be bypassed."

it's not about how good you are it is all about how simply you can explain it.. kudos Mr.Kevin you are a genius..!!

The first time I read about Kevin Mitnick was in 1988-89 in a book about hackers I remember back then I was 19yrs old and thought Kevin was a hacker god...now all these years later...back then I vaguely followed him in that my parents house was raided and prosecuted by the feds for accessing and attempting to access a federal computer (all with a 2400 baud rate modem) without authorization back in the late 80's when the laws were just starting to be put down in the books as far as computer crimes...now for the same thing I would have been sent to prison for some time.. Yes Kevin is somewhat of a living legend and a hero in the computer security and hacker world.

Seems like most of the ppl there have no idea just who is in front of them. Kevin Mitnick. A freaking Legend. Clap, Applause, Congrats!

Kevin.. I hope your hacking into this realm from where you are and read this comment…. Rest in Peace. You are my idol. I learned so so much from you. I enjoyed all your books. I’m actually going to re-read them again to pay respect to you, Sir. The hacker community will miss you. We love you.
