David Blake, widely recognized by his pseudonym StankDawg, is a prominent figure in the hacking community, best known for founding the Digital DawgPound (DDP) and initiating the Binary Revolution. Born on September 13, 1971, in Newport News, Virginia, Blake's academic journey led him to earn an Associate in Applied Sciences degree from the University of Kentucky in 1992, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Florida Atlantic University. He also holds a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification and is a member of the International High IQ Society. Currently, Blake resides in Orlando, Florida, working as a computer programmer and analyst. In 1988, while still in high school, Blake coined the term "Digital DawgPound" during a computer programming competition, humorously referring to his teammates by this moniker. This early jest laid the foundation for what would become a significant hacker collective. By 1999, the DDP had officially formed, bringing together individuals with diverse expertise, including hacking, programming, phone phreaking, and security. The group's mission centered on promoting a positive image of hackers, countering negative stereotypes perpetuated by mainstream media, and emphasizing the ethical aspects of hacking. One of Blake's notable contributions is the Binary Revolution, an initiative aimed at fostering a unified and constructive hacking community. This movement encompassed various platforms, most prominently Binary Revolution Radio (BRR), a weekly internet radio show that aired from 2003 to 2007, totaling 200 episodes. BRR served as a medium for discussing hacking topics, sharing knowledge, and reinforcing the positive contributions of hackers to society. Beyond his organizational endeavors, StankDawg has been an active contributor to hacker literature. He served as a staff writer for renowned publications such as 2600: The Hacker Quarterly and the now-defunct Blacklisted! 411 magazine. His writings have also appeared in independent zines like Outbreak, Frequency, and Radical Future. Blake's articles often delve into technical subjects and ethical considerations within the hacking realm. Blake's expertise and insights have led him to present at various prestigious hacking conferences, including DEF CON, H.O.P.E. (Hackers on Planet Earth), and Interz0ne. His presentations have covered a range of topics, from exploring vulnerabilities in platforms like Google AdWords to demystifying systems such as the AS/400. Notably, his "Hacking Google AdWords" presentation at DEF CON 13 in 2005 sparked discussions within the tech community. Through his initiatives and active participation, StankDawg has played a pivotal role in shaping a more positive and ethical perception of hackers. His efforts with the Digital DawgPound and the Binary Revolution have provided platforms for knowledge sharing, community building, and advocating for the constructive contributions hackers can offer to technology and society at large. -------------------------BINARY REVOLUTION!------------------------- #########################%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ###########################%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ##########################%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ###########################%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ###########################%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ###########################%%%%%%%%#*+===++*#%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ##########################%%%%###=--*%@@@@@%%+@%%%%%%%%%-.%@%%%%%%%% #############################*-:+%%@@@%%%*--*@@%*===*#%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ##########################*-:=%%@@%###+:-#@@#-...::::-%@%#=*%%%%%%%% ########################+::*%%@%###=:=%@%*:......:::::#@%:.*@@@%%%%% %#####################+:-#%@@%#*-:+%@%=......:#@@@-:--%@@%@@@@@%%%%% %%##################*:-##%@%*::*@@@@@.....=%@@@@@%---=%@@%%%@%%%%%%% %%%%##############*::##%@+:-#@#+=*%%#....%@@@%%%#----%@@@%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%##%%%###=:#%%=:=%%#:.....:#@....%@@#*=:---=%@@@%:=@%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%###-=%%-*%%+:.........*@...:%+-:::--=#@@@@%%#@@@%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%*:*%%%#=......+%@+...#@:#%:::::----=-*%@%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%+-#%@%#:...-#@@@@@=..=@@@@#::-*%+--===+++#%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%+-%@#..#-##-%@@@%*-..=@@@-:--%@@@@%%=++++++*%@%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%*-+::*%@%:..:%#+-.::::::*%:--=%@@%%%%%%+*%%@@@@@%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%*==%@%=..%-.-:::::::::---=%-===%@@%%%%%%%@@@@%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%#-.-#@@@%@%:::=#%@@@--=+@=+++%@@%%%%%%#::#%%%%%%%%%%%%@% %%%%%%%%%=::*%@%=::%@+--%@@@@@%====%@=+++%@@%%%%%+::*%@@%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%*++%@@#-:=#@@@---=%@@%*+=+++%@@*%@@@#+=#%%=::##%@@%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%+==#%@@*-:%===+#+++++++*%@@@%*+=+#%%%#::-%*%@@%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%#**%@@%=--+%@@=++++++++*%@@@%+++#@@@%%%-::##*@@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%*+=*%@@%+=%=++++*%@@@%*++#%@@@@%%#=::=%+#@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% @%%%%%#**%@@%*==+#@@=*%@@@%***#@@@@@%%%##=::-%++%@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%#***%@@%%@@@@%#**%%@@%%=:%%%#*:::=#+=%@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%@%%% @%%%%%###%@@%%%@@@@%##%@@@@%+..*%%%#-:::+%==%@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% @%%%%%%%%%*+++#%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%#+-:::=#*=*%@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% @%%%%%%%%%%+=====*%##%%%%##+::::::=%*=+%@@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% @%%%%%%%%%%%%+===-----:::::::-+##++#@@@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%@% @@%%%%%%%%%%%%%#%*+=---=*#%#+++%%@@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% @@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%#*****#%%@@@@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% @@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%@%@% @@@@@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%@@%%%%%%%@@@@%%%%%%%%@%@%%@@%@%%%%@% @@@@@@@@@@@@%%%@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@%@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@%@@@@@@@
