It only took him one flight to learn to use 40+ apps? Impressive, i've been using some of these apps for ~15 years and still don't know them well.
(BackTrack is nothing more than a Linux distro with a bunch of pentest apps - metasploit, nmap, w3af, etc. preinstalled)
- charonn0 13y agoIt only took him one flight to learn to use 40+ apps? Impressive True, but this is a guy who: (...) often scores over 1 million points on the "Bejeweled Blitz" online puzzle game. so he's obviously quite 1337.
- nikcub 13y agoI can just imagine the pre-briefing with NSA's PR people "we need to establish your tech credentials, what are you really good at" "err, Bejeweled Blitz?"

- espadrine 13y agoUsually, when I brag about scoring a million points at a game, you should infer I'm proud to have hacked it. I'm not patient enough to earn all those points. When reading this line, I genuinely assumed they meant he hacked the app. Isn't that the case?
