Hugh Provides the Details

A month of so ago, I posted a note about how much fun it is to be on an airplane with Hugh Thompson.

Like I said at the time, some people collect stamps. Other hobbyists go fishing. Some even write computer programs for fun. Hugh's hobby is different -- he gets his kicks from crashing onboard entertainment systems on airplanes. Hugh, who is best known for as a security expert and who has written articles for Dr. Dobb's including Rethinking Software Security and Red-Team Application Security Testing, does so all in the name of research, of course. This is fine, of course, unless you happen to be on the same plane.

Hugh recently provided the details on his scientific process in an article entitled How to Crash an In-flight Entertainment System. Very funny. A little scary. Enjoy.
