Dr. Dave describes the hardest part of security consulting as balancing “wake up” against “do not panic”—speaking plainly enough for risk to connect without convincing people to abandon the internet. Evil Steve then introduces Kelly’s Ride, organized by his friend Randy after Kelly’s death to honor her and support children with juvenile diabetes, with every penny of the event’s proceeds promised to the cause. A dramatic Black Hat demonstration of remotely emptied ATMs lets the brothers argue that companies should employ skilled researchers to think like attackers before criminals do. Elsewhere, Dr. Dave favors technology that keeps synchronized local copies rather than trusting the cloud alone, remembers using an IBM Palm with a folding keyboard and infrared printer, and anticipates a future in which a phone becomes the single interface for nearly everything.
