Föderation EN Sa 23.11.2024 05:11:11 On this 37th anniversary of The Max Headroom Incident, I want to pay honor to The 1337 who pulled this off and has never been identified. You are the undisputed king of broadcast intrusion, and cool. If we ever meet, you don’t have to tell me, but just know, you have my respect, Hack King. |

Föderation EN Sa 23.11.2024 05:14:12 @thegibson I was approached by someone who claimed they were Max Headroom while at CircleCityCon. I listened politely. It's not impossible, Indy is adjacent to Chicago. Many Chicagoans visited Indy for this event. |

Föderation EN Sa 23.11.2024 05:18:35 @thegibson Yes, now that I reflect upon it, they likely ran around the conference telling everyone that. I spent more time with folks who did actual work in the industry than I did with quipped anecdotes. I spent way more time with the gentleman who present on a sigint tablet, even making my own to embed in my car with a hacked Pioneer headunit and a raspi. |

Föderation EN Sa 23.11.2024 05:49:32 @thegibson keeping it a secret all these years is, to me, the most impressive part |

Föderation EN Sa 23.11.2024 10:10:53 @jacob @TheGibson reminds of Timothy Geithner who in the 80ties hacked communication tooling in south Africa such that Mandela was able to communicate from prison with the anti-apartheid movement .... and more importantly, fighters were able to communicate with their family while they were living in the resistance underground. And tim never told anyone and didn't brag about it. When a dedicated researcher found them in 2012 or so, he said "I was curious if anyone would find out about it". |
