Darren Kitchen: Good afternoon, we're on the sidelines of DefCon at the hacker group Hack 5, and I want to introduce one of my favorite hackers, DarkMatter, with his new development called WiFi Kraken.

Recent articles on Habré about the experience of using StackOverflow prompted me to write an article, but from the position of a moderator. I would like to note right away that we will talk about Stack Overflow in Russian. My profile: Suvitruf.

Hello, Khabro residents! Is it possible to talk about fashion, faith or fantasy in fundamental science? The universe is not interested in human fashion.
