He often finds himself in harrowing situations involving the stormtroopers of an popular software vendor, but always manages to escape using a rusty backslash and a pack of chewing gum. His mother is disappointed in him, but hopes he'll one day live up to his true potential. For copies of the slides and additional materials please see the DEF CON 18 Archive here:
