Saw him in person at Defcon years ago. He was very personable and was happy to talk to anyone. RIP
Huh, maybe it was just the event or his mood. I met him at an security event and he was an absolute asshole to everyone. Basically any questions, he gave short terse answers to and clearly it didn't want to say hi to anyone. Glad others had better experiences than mine.
We all have bad days. Unfortunately his coincided with the only time you saw him. I don't think that makes him an asshole. I think it makes him human.
You ever call in sick because you're not feeling it? Public figures can't do that because people will call them an asshole.
This is the way. No human is capable of always being the best version of themselves
Yes. Social engineers are surprisingly good at being social. It's like they could do it for work instead of technical hacking.
