We keep hearing so many success stories. This is a talk about things sometimes failing, and how they fail.
I am a firm believer of learning by breaking stuff. A big part of understanding how things work is related to understanding the failure modes of those same things.
This talk takes us through a handful of situations where software failed rather badly, either because of professional exploiters of failure modes (like script kiddies) of innocently curious people (like me).
