very funny, very educational too. im not sure what the qualification of the guy making battering rams and thermite self destruct devices is... perhaps some made up self taught thingi, who cares. it gets the job done. this is how education should be, irreverent and entertaining.

Wow first I’ve heard of this. Insane 2000’s vibes. Honestly though the demonstration social engineering to get a free pizza was pretty cool, and terrifying since that same pattern is applied to pwn sites and stuff.

Will check out the Art of Deception book they recommended, seems good to learn about the low tech ways we can be manipulated to get past security.

Art of deception is pretty good. He did a few "art of " books (intrusion, invisibility).

I bought that book back in 2003 or whenever it was, as a teen because of his feature on TheBroken, miss those days, just as pots was being phased out, when you could still just about have fun without the real threat of lifetime imprisonment.
