L0pht hacker stars in Discovery Channel TV show
L0pht hacker Kingpin is getting ready for prime time.
Joe Grand, who used the Kingpin handle in his time as a member of the Boston hacker crew, will co-host Prototype This!, a new Discovery Channel television show centered around the conceptualizing, designing and creating prototypes of robots, gadgets and other machines.
C|Net News.com’s Daniel Terdiman has an excellent write-up on the new show, which debuts its 13-episode first season on October 15.
In the article, Grand/Kingpin is introduced as the team’s electrical engineer and self-styled “hardware hacker.”
Anyone familiar with the awesome Defcon badges designed by Kingpin will want to catch his work on this show. I’m certainly looking forward to it.
