Notes Jeff Moss, this time, going by the name of The Dark Tangent, a hacking handle I've been using for over twenty years. You may know me from starting Defcon back in, boy, 1993, 1994. You know we're having our fifteenth year anniversary this year in 2007, so you do the math. If you don't know me from Defcon conventions, you might know me from before then, I operated a number of bulletin boards back in the day. They're all idle messaging networks back before the internet was really popular. And what you might now know is the history of Defcon, where it came from. So, let me tell you a little story. Back in the day when everything was dial up, 300 to 1200 baud modems, stored forward messaging systems like the FIDO protocol, everybody operated bulletin boards around the world. And the bulletin boards were loosely affiliated into networks and the networks I'm talking about are mostly hacking and phreaking and information sharing networks.
