Today to honor Steve #Wozniak, who gave the commencement address to undergraduates at #CUBoulder, at @mediaarchaeologylab I pulled out an old app that is part of the Whacked #Mac Archives, curated by the #L0pht.

The app's sole purpose is to pull a series of fuzzy, heavily dithered PICT format bitmap images out of the ROM of a #Macintosh SE (and no other model). This was an easter egg of epic proportions - photos of the early people who worked at #Apple Computer, burned into the silicon that powers the computer. Seeing these images was a bit like what I imagine an alien species would feel when they play the golden record on Voyager for the first time.

Sorry for the weird bars on some of these photos. I'll try to get clearer ones next week.

Photos on a Macintosh SE. I don't know any of these people's names.

Senator Lieberman was there in 1998 when the L0pht testified on Weak Computer Security in Government. He will be missed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2024/03/27/joe-lieberman-senator-vice-president-dead/ #lieberman #l0pht

Unlocking #Digital Doors: On the #Hacker Group That Told #Congress They Could Take Down the #Internet - Walter J. Scheirer on #L0pht Heavy Industries and the Origins of Modern-Day Online #Deception

"Early computer users were consumed with the idea of being able to go places that ordinary people could not. There was something tantalizing about the vast complexity of computer technology. Peering into the digital nooks and crannies, sometimes one could find oneself making a discovery that unlocked a door to a realm of the impossible. The most familiar example of this effect from the classic era of computing is the video game cheat code."

I was cleaning up some very old papers and came across this spicy missive fired at bugtraq by none other than Mudge. No good guess as to why I printed it, but nonetheless I'm glad I found it.

Picture of a message from Mudge to bugtraq, circa 1997. Mild profanity

The full #L0PHT testimony is a rather interesting listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVJldn_MmMY

This was a really interesting read on #L0PHT and the security of software and hardware, and how not much has changed 20 years on from their 1998 senate testimony (article from 2018)

Chris Wysopal shared this on Twitter and it's too good not to share elsewhere!

'Space Rogue: How the #Hackers Known as #L0pht Changed the World' with Cris Thomas | Feb 24, 2023 at Iffy Books - https://kolektiva.media/w/fkAjERZLeeqrUHyDaZHUri @spacerog @L0pht

Thoroughly enjoyed reading @spacerog's book, glad I'm not the only one who remembers using ftp mail 😆 I used to grab a lot of Atari stuff from umech.edu, I think. Back when I was doing freelancing as Galooph Industries, the Industries part was inspired by #l0pht 😀

@spacerog talking about the history of the #l0pht at his book release party @iffybooks #hackers #infosec

Oooh.. Aaah…
