Description: Take a trip back in time and discover what hacking was like in the pioneer days -- before the Internet, the PC, or even the Commodore 64 or TRS-80. The speaker started exploring computer systems in 1973, when the only law about hacking was the hacker ethic itself. Join a humorous reminiscence about what it was like building an Altair 8800, discovering the 2600 Hz tone, storing programs on punched cards, cracking bad crypto, and more. You'll find the people and principles haven't changed, only the speed of the hardware.
