    An Interview With Dan Walters

    Dan Walters/Bytetinker joins us after a long email chain to find a time. You'll understand why it was so hard in the interview. Jen met Dan at cyphercon.com where he runs an ISP hacking village/ward. We covered a lot of stuff at various levels of the OSI stack up. Here's just a short list of terms that came up:

    • DOCSIS
    • Quadrature_amplitude_modulation
    • Some of the exploits we covered were part of Cable Haunt.

    While Dan for good reason did not provide explicit sites to get started with, you may have luck with archive.org

    Want to try this for yourself but still waiting for your federal funding to come in? cyphercon.com 2026 is happening and you can do this much more cheaply. It's happening April 1 & 2.
