BSides Vancouver 2015 - Eddie Doyle - Monty Python’s Search for the Holy Grail of Internet Security

"What is it about the Human Condition that compels us to ""want"" to believe? How do Con Artists, like the infamous George C. Parker, sell the Brooklyn Bridge & even the Statue of Liberty to unwary foreigners? If Shakespeare could have foreseen global communication, how much more impactful is “all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.” The Internet has provided our species with an unparalleled opportunity, never before seen in our history, to accelerate our evolution into utopian green fields of human cooperation and collaboration. It also gives con artists a “world stage” to “play” on; giving way to government intervention of the Internet and Orwell’s fearful Big Brother."
