The contrast between the jolly eccentricity of Cliff and the seriousness of what was going on on the networks is the core of why the book is so fascinating
This conclusion, the last three or so minutes of this talk, goddammit man. This man is clever, humble, and so incredibly, deeply human. We should all do our best to become our own versions of Cliff Stoll.
Someone did a great job directing and choosing the cameras to capture this talk! It's rare to have an event like this that has anything other than a single static camera..
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Baker Patrick Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Entertaining and informative to the end. I just love when he squeezes his drink bottle to bursting without realising what he's doing. Shows the passion he has for this, it really means something, he cares.
I had a physics teacher in High Scool whose name was "Doc" Lane. His famous line was (and he wanted us to think like this as well) "I wonder what would happen if I..." and then he would try it.
What a wonderfully engaging, entertaining, and informative presentation! I'm so glad SANS got him to talk and then made it available for the world. If this doesn't inspire you to do great DFIR, Defense, or Pen Testing, then you're in the wrong field. Thanks to SANS and all those that made this possible. (Shout out to the guy in the Kangol hat!)
I was lucky enough to attend a Physics and Astronomy Colloquium (Hasbrouck auditorium) in the Fall of 1985, at UMASS, Amherst. Clifford Stoll was the speaker, and there he shared the tale of "The Cuckoo's Egg". Much of what he communicated was unspoken, to be inferred only.
Fantastic! He hasn't lost the enthusiasm. I would love to know the number of infosec folks who entered the field because of their interest in The Cuckoo's Egg.
I think these last words hardly can be applied to machines which is computer itself and its programs all about. They're not about ethics and morality from the scratch, we have this, they're not. And there definitely will be a crossroad where we'll break apart. It doesn't mean war, of course - it's stupid, computers aren't stupid by the laws of physics - it just mean deeper understanding of what is "good" and what is "bad" for us. For computers it always be "understanding" of course... Thank You, Cliff.
Read his book. They (at least Bob Morris) knew for years all the exploits that Urmel, Hagbard et al. used. They were the same assholes back then already.
I hope he isn't as nervous and as anxious as his conduct here suggests. I really hope not. Because I love his wicked eccentric conduct. It makes this whole talk entertaining as well as educational! But I'd hate to see him handling himself this way out of fear or anxiety.
He's doing well, when ferocity sees itself in a mirror it still jumps, sometimes. For him, he's so dynamic that it's always interesting to introspect. I've often felt most sure of myself during moments of duress, and take it from a teacher that the fear is just good fuel. Oil in the lamp of remembrance.
When you know the other side of the story, the fate of the hackers in east Germany (Karl Koch and his friends), it's difficult to share his enthusiasm. To him they remained anonymous.
Dude, you start messing around with the US military's computers to sell information to the KGB, then end up being compromised in West Germany at the height of the Cold War, being burned to death and having it ruled as a suicide should be an expected outcome.

Possibly the greatest, most engaging and entertaining talk I’ve ever watched. This guy is a complete legend.

I love Cliff Stoll. He's the real world Doc Brown.

@Baker Patrick It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
@Emiliano Terrell You are welcome :D
Absolutely love his passion. No one is trying to force him to calm down and act "normal." His eccentricity is an intrinsic part of his genius.
It's SO infectious!
His excitement at reliving his past is infectious. I read his book at High School in the 90s - successfully hacked into school network as a result.
Mandatory viewing for anyone who wants to give a dynamic preso. I love how he credits co-workers from 30yrs ago.
Entertaining and informative to the end. I just love when he squeezes his drink bottle to bursting without realising what he's doing. Shows the passion he has for this, it really means something, he cares.
Paul Gregory
god i really don't want him to die anytime soon.

1:01:55
He did the very same thing on TV in 1990 :D he is a champion!

Just found and read 'The Cuckoo's Egg' whilst on holiday. Superb read. I am an instant fan.
i love you , cliff.

1985 was before it happened.. did you mean 1995?

That's me!
I literally absolutely exactly did this. That book showed me what I wanted to do in life.
an easier question - how many people *didn't* read it first
37.
The real Doc Brown!! I'm so grateful for having watched this talk. Thank you so much.
The way he ended this makes me want to finish this cyber degree and certs so I can get into the field already!
He is using so much body language that his body can't contain it. Those jumps are fantastic!
what a guy - a true legend, in so many *different* ways
Great talk. I would love to have this man as a professor. Very engaging.
The legend !
OMG this is about to be the best hour of my evening!!!

Somebody please make a movie on this man!!!!!!
There allready is!?!?
Havnt you seen back to the future!!!!
@@russianwater1655 yeah I should have really seen it...u see I am so old I forget things...
Tripti Biswas there’s a PBS/NOVA tv show from the 1990s called “The KGB, the Computer, and Me" which I’m sure you can find online somewhere.
OMG He's still kicking ass! Yes!
The sandshoes in the microwave story makes *complete* sense now 😂
Watching this after reading his book, this is like the motion picture of the book
I loved this
Cliff is freaking awesome I love this guy
Cliff is so cool! Read his book ages ago.
What a legend, love looking at my Klein bottle Cliff. Thanks
this seems fun
and damn he's too energetic its funny
love this guy, 'Silicon Snake oil' was a better book then The Cuckoo's egg though, or at least more visionary
Cliff Stoll is the greatest source of faith the monk has.
If I embedded a Klein bottle in another Klein bottle then could you retrospectively determine which bottle was embedded in which?
Is it just me or did he subtly imply that the NSA knew a LOT more about these hacks than they were letting on?

This guy is so lovely and quirky. ☺️

I love the shaking hands
