Josh and Kurt talk about Beto being in the Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc). This is a pretty big deal in a very good way.

We need more politicians with backgrounds like this. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/opensourcesecuritypodcast/Episode_137_5_Holy_cow_Beto_was_in_the_cDc_this_is_awesome.mp3 Show Notes Cult of the Dead Cow Phrack Beto in the cDc 2600 Off the Hook Stallman Hacker Song Comment on Twitter with the #osspodcast hashtag ...
