Topic: Capture The Flag

Cliff Stoll shares his delight in the popularity of "capture the flag" events and lockpicking among security professionals. He mentions having a master-keyed Schlage lock on his own front door after learning the skill from a friend. Despite his interest, Stoll considers himself an "old hat" in the field, comparing himself to Dwight Eisenhower talking about modern politics.

Associate Executive Producer Matthew Hamilton, an 18-year-old cybersecurity student, donated $268.54 to the show. Hamilton discusses his experience with Capture the Flag (CTF) hacking competitions and his leadership of the Reddit CTF team. He also mentions attending the Defcon meetup in Las Vegas and the influence of the podcast on his "outside the box" thinking.
