DESCRIPTION:We focus so much on the next great exploit\, when have we looke
 d back to see where we come from?  Let me take you on a journey back throu
 gh time\, to the first 'hack' ever pulled off. Then\, wander with me as we
  trace the history of our storied profession\, from thousands of years ago
 \, all the way to the modern day.\n\n\nI choose to define hacking as "subv
 erting the rules of a system\, in order to force the system to behave in a
  manner not intended by its creator". This\, to me at least\, is the hacke
 r mindset - a burning curiosity to make things behave in a way we are told
  they should not be able to. It is armed with this definition\, that I exp
 lore the history of hacking\, going back through the ages\, addressing the
  incident in 1903 (from which we get the title of this talk)\, or even to 
 1834\, when the first real 'cyber attack' was pulled off. We go back even 
 earlier than this\, observing how the techniques we use today have their r
 oots in the (mis)behaviour of ancient civilisations.\n\nI hope we can lear
 n from the past\, to help us shape the future of our great industry. Or\, 
 at the very least\, we can pay homage to the hackers that came before us\,
  as they laid the groundwork for what we all get to do today.
