"Miss, you'd better look at that note. I have a bomb."In November 1971, a man in a suit boarded a flight from Portland to Seattle, calmly handed a note to a flight attendant, and claimed he had a bomb. He demanded $200,000 in cash, four parachutes, and a fuel truck on standby. Hours later, somewhere over the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest, he opened the rear stairway of the plane and vanished into the night.Was it a fatal leap, the perfect getaway, or the birth of a new identity? Fifty years later, no one knows who Dan Cooper really was, what became of him, or if he ever touched the ground alive. But the theories haven't stopped... and neither has the obsession.Research, writing, hosting, and production by Micheal WhelanAdditional research & writing by Amelia White and Ira RaiLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

 This is probably the conversation I had in mind when I decided to start this podcast. Samy Kamkar is an old buddy of mine, a genius hacker. When you guys hear me praising the minds of hackers and how brilliant they can be and how they think, Samy is the example in my mind that I'm thinking of, and I always love to share him. Samy's famous for having written a computer virus that he was using to meet girls on the internet, which is probably ill-advised. The virus he wrote took over MySpace. It was incredibly genius! What would happen is: if you looked at Samy's page on MySpace, it would just automatically add you as his friend. MySpace is long gone, but you could imagine what that would be like on Facebook or Instagram or Snapchat nowadays. So, within 24 hour period, Samy had over a million friends on his MySpace profile, because the code not only would add you as his friend, it would copy itself to your page so that whenever anybody looked at your page, it would automatically add them as Samy's friend too, and then do one other benign thing, which would change your profile page to list Samy as your HERO! Samy is my hero. I love him so much. He's done a lot of amazing, beautiful work and computer hacking. He has a YouTube channel that we'll talk about on here, but you should definitely go watch his videos. I'm not going to interview Samy. that has been done and you should listen to the Tim Ferriss interview of Samy. I think of this conversation is something you could listen to with or without having heard that, but if you want to know more about Samy and his background and all the stories, then you can go listen to Tim Ferris interviewing him. This however is a conversation between friends, it is very soulful. There's a lot in here that I'm looking forward to sharing with you guys. Also, Samy is a co-founder of a couple of company that have been very successful and he sold his most recent company called Open Path to Motorola. This is not an ad, I'm just telling you because I'm impressed with what Samy built: Open Path is a physical door access control system that's way better than those cards you used to have to use to get into your office. Now you can just do it with your phone and walk right in. Samy has helped build that product and the company is doing very well. And I think you should all become, customers. Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you Samy, at one point decided he wanted to become a DJ and learn how to make music. And he's the one who created the track that we use for the podcast intro that you're going to hear next. Please listen to this conversation with me and Samy. I'm sure you're going to get a lot out of it. Important Links: Samy is my Hero Samy on Wikipedia Samy's Website Samy on YouTube Tim Ferriss Podcast with Samy About Samy Kamkar Samy Kamkar is an American privacy and security researcher, computer hacker and entrepreneur. At the age of 16, he dropped out of high school.[One year later, he co-founded Fonality, a unified communications company based on open-source software, which raised over $46 million in private funding. In 2005, he created and released the fastest spreading virus of all time, the MySpace worm Samy, and was subsequently raided by the United States Secret Service under the Patriot Act. He also created SkyJack, a custom drone which hacks into any nearby Parrot drones allowing them to be controlled by its operator and created the Evercookie, which appeared in a top-secret NSA document revealed by Edward Snowden and on the front page of The New York Times. He has also worked with The Wall Street Journal, and discovered the illicit mobile phone tracking where the Apple iPhone, Google Android and Microsoft Windows Phone mobile devices transmit GPS and Wi-Fi information to their parent companies. His mobile research led to a series of class-action lawsuits against the companies and a privacy hearing on Capitol Hill.

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast starts episode 338 with a quick round of speculation about an upcoming dragon themed toy set to be revealed next month. After that, the talk moves on to the lone newly-revealed toy from Hasbro's latest "Transformers Tuesday" event, that toy being a Soundwave which uses the design from the upcoming Reactivate videogame. Additional thoughts on the Haslab Deathsaurus figure that's about to ship out follow, prompted by the unboxing video that Hasbro sent out to project backers during this past week. Skybound's second issue of their flagship Transformers comic book has hit the shelves, so the cast reflects on it next in a spoiler-filled discussion. The 40 for 40 limited segment then brings up memories of the Generation 2 toys from 1995, before the episode concludes with the recurring "Bragging Rights" segment where the cast shares their most recent and notable Transformers toy and product acquisitions.

In 1980, a freshman congressman was gunned down in Rhode Island, sending shockwaves through Washington that are still reverberating over four decades later.Now, with the world on the brink of war and a weakened United States facing rampant inflation, political division, and shocking assassinations, a secret cabal of global elites is ready to assume control. And with the world's most dangerous man locked in solitary confinement, the conspirators believe the final obstacle to complete domination has been eliminated. They're wrong.From the firms of Wall Street to the corridors of power in Washington, DC, and Moscow, secrets from the past have the uncanny ability to rise to the surface in the present.With the odds stacked against him, James Reece is on a mission generations in the making. Unfortunately for his enemies, the former SEAL is not concerned with odds. He is on the warpath. And when James Reece picks up his tomahawk and sniper rifle, no one is out of range.From “a master novelist” (Ballistic Magazine), “quintessential hero James Reece is exactly what's needed in today's chaotic political milieu” (K.J. Howe, author of Skyjack).Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast.

The electrifying sequel to The Freedom Broker, featuring Thea Paris, a kidnap and ransom specialist. For Thea, kidnap is always personal - her brother's life was nearly ruined when he was taken as a child. Lisa Gardner says The Freedom Broker is 'clever and gritty', and Peter James calls it 'spellbinding'. If you like David Baldacci's King and Maxwell series, you will love this. When Thea Paris' flight is hijacked over the Libyan Desert, her first priority is the two former child soldiers she is escorting to a new life in London. As an international kidnap specialist, Thea Paris negotiates for hostage release as part of her job. She knows one wrong move could lead to deadly consequences. After she is forcibly separated from the boys and the other passengers, Thea and her tactical team quickly regroup. And in their desperate search for the hostages that follows, they unearth a conspiracy involving the CIA, the Vatican and the Sicilian Mafia and a plot far more sinister than Thea could ever have imagined.

It was the day before Thanksgiving, 1971, when the last passenger boarded a short flight from Portland to Seattle. With no ID's required to fly at the time, he paid for his ticket with cash ($20) and signed in as 'Dan Cooper'. He  then sat alone in the back row drinking bourbon and smoking cigarettes.  Later that night, he would parachute out of that plane with $200,000 ransom and never be heard from again. His name was probably not 'Dan Cooper' - but it certainly wasn't 'DB Cooper', the alias almost everyone refers to him by today.  His name, however, is only the beginning of what we do not know about the person who pulled off the only unsolved skyjacking in American History.   Dawn's special guest, Maile Flanagan, assigned her this subject because - like many others - she had a vague memory of hearing the general story and was eager for all the F-able details. In this episode, Dawn delivers.  Not only a detailed play-by-play of what happened that fateful night, but a dive into some of the most interesting suspects to have emerged from the 50 year old investigation. PART 1  00:02:15 - The History of my guest, Maile Flanagan: Voice of Naruto and Terry Perry on Lab Rats (among many other credits.) 00:05:05 - Today's HILF: DB Cooper.

Outside of the City of Guelph or Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health, it’s hard to think of a group that’s been more entwined with the day-in/day-out issues of COVID-19 than the Guelph Family Health Team. From testing to vaccination, the Family Health Team has been in the thick of it through the pandemic, and one year later it seems timely to get some insight from behind the scenes. March 17, 2020 was not the start of the pandemic in Ontario, but it was the day that the proverbial stuff got real. Entirely new public health measures in response to the burgeoning pandemic were initiated, seemingly overnight, but the response in Guelph and area was the result of weeks of pre-planning among various parties, groups and government agencies, including the Guelph Family Health Team. Already part of the Guelph and Area Ontario Health Team, the GFHT was an appropriate choice to help co-ordinate the local COVID response. Their experience allowed a testing clinic next to Guelph General Hospital to be rapidly set up and established to accept potential COVID cases. Now, this past Monday, the team helped open a second vaccine clinic in Guelph, which is remarkable work because all this has been happening while the Family Health Team is still providing primary care to its own patients. Ross Kirkconnell, the executive director of the Family Health Team, is the guest on this week’s podcast, and he will talk about how the team got involved in pandemic planning, how they’ve been balancing that with their primary patient care. Kirkconnell will also talk about how Guelph’s good social fabric helped make the pandemic response easier, and how it's proving why integrated healthcare matters. And finally, he will discuss the vaccine rollout, and what lessons we should learn from the events of the last year. So let's talk about pandemic management on this week’s episode of the Guelph Politicast. You can learn more about the Guelph Family Health Team at their website and you can also find them easily on social media. The Guelph Family Health Team is helping to manage vaccination sites at Skyjack and the University of Guelph, but for any information concerning the vaccination effort or when and how you can get a vaccine, you have to go to Public Health’s website. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify. Also, when you subscribe to the Guelph Politicast channel and you will also get an episode of Open Sources Guelph every Monday, and an episode of End Credits every Friday.

Listen to this Digging Deeper podcast to hear from Skyjack experts on their forecast for the rental industry and aerial lift equipment in 2020 and beyond. Malcolm Early, vice president of marketing for Skyjack, anticipates that in 2020 the rental industry will see a lowering of equipment sales into the marketplace as a whole. "We see the market for aerial equipment going through an adjustment in 2020," Early says. Why? The general economy and trade wars have had a number of implications on materials and the industry, Early says. Plus, the new ANSI standard — and the delays pushing back the effective date — is creating some uncertainty. Ken McDougall, president of Skyjack, also points out that the election year in the U.S. may affect the industry as well. Many people are incorporating a "wait and see" approach.  "Nothing is wrong [with the economy], but everybody is being a little more prudent," McDougall says. Early says we may see a developing trend in new machines in the sub-19-foot market. Plus hybrid and electric units are trends he expects will develop even further.  Over the last few years the aerial industry has started to adopt telematics, and Early expects that will continue to grow. McDougall agrees, noting the level of the sophistication in rental business will continue to trend up, which he says can greatly increase ROI for rental businesses. Early and McDougall both stress the focus on alternative power sources, highlighting the proposal in Europe to eliminate internal combustion engines. While this is focused on the automotive industry at this point, if it becomes a reality it could likely trickle down into the construction and lift equipment markets.

Cars. They’re everywhere. You can hardly drive down a busy freeway without seeing one. But what about their security? In this talk I’ll reveal new research and real attacks in the area of wirelessly controlled gates, garages, and cars. Many cars are now controlled from mobile devices over GSM, while even more can be unlocked and ignitions started from wireless keyfobs over RF. All of these are subject to attack with low-cost tools (such as RTL-SDR, GNU Radio, HackRF, Arduino, and even a Mattel toy). We will investigate how these features work, and of course, how they can be exploited. I will be releasing new tools and vulnerabilities in this area, such as key-space reduction attacks on fixed-codes, advanced "code grabbers" using RF attacks on encrypted and rolling codes, and how to protect yourself against such issues. By the end of this talk you’ll understand not only how vehicles and the wirelessly-controlled physical access protecting them can be exploited, but also learn about various tools for car and RF research, as well as how to use and build your own inexpensive devices for such investigation. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. And other people’s engines. Samy Kamkar is a security researcher, best known for creating The MySpace Worm, one of the fastest spreading viruses of all time. He (attempts to) illustrate terrifying vulnerabilities with playfulness, and his exploits have been branded: “Controversial”, -The Wall Street Journal “Horrific”, -The New York Times “Now I want to fill my USB ports up with cement”, -Gizmodo He’s demonstrated usurping typical hardware for surreptitious means such as with KeySweeper, turning a standard USB wall charger into a covert, wireless keyboard sniffer, and SkyJack, a custom drone which takes over any other nearby drones allowing them to be controlled as a massive zombie swarm. He’s exposed issues around privacy, such as by developing the Evercookie which appeared in a top-secret NSA document revealed by Edward Snowden, exemplifying techniques used by governments and corporations for clandestine web tracking, and has discovered and released research around the illicit GPS and location tracking performed by Apple, Google and Microsoft mobile devices. He continues to produce new research and tools for the public as open source and open hardware. Twitter: @samykamkar

Samy Kamkar is one of the most innovative and notorious computer hackers in the United States. He’s also a well-known whistleblower. If you want how Samy hacks everything from online dating to car alarms, this episode is for you. He is best known for creating the fastest spreading virus of all time, a MySpace worm named “Samy.” He got raided by the United States Secret Service for that one. More recently, he’s created SkyJack, a custom drone that hacks into any nearby drones, allowing him (or any operator) to control a swarm of devices; and Evercookie, which appeared in top-secret NSA documents revealed by Edward Snowden. He also discovered illicit mobile phone tracking by Apple iPhone, Google Android and Microsoft Windows Phone mobile devices, which were transmitting GPS and Wi-Fi information to their parent companies. His research and findings led to a series of class-action lawsuits against these companies and a privacy hearing on Capitol Hill.
