They apply voiceovers for them in America, too? Do they include that annoying lisp of Adam's from his tongue stud in all versions?

It's actually an American show... Take a look at their bios... It's just for Europe the Discovery Channel modifies the shows and uses a British voice over guy, so the European folks feel more comfortable.

They even use guns. :P To be honest, the way they conduct experiments and reach conclusions is somewhat flawed, to say the least, but they are cool, serious and professional (aside for the occasional safety boo-boo). They invest time and resources in building monstrosities to prove points. :) This time, it was about breaking biometric systems with Gummy bears! (see bottom of post for references) I really like this video, which you can watch on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXyFmieZjiE I have seen this over at Xavier Ashe's The Lazy Genius (http://blog.xavier.ashe.com/blog/_archives/2006/10/2/2381055.html ) a longg time ago, but just made a search to find it again and post it here. In the past, I have studied biometrics extensively and how the systems can be beat. But there is nothing like a short video to make your point for you. Original link is from: http://blogs.technet.com/steriley/archive/2006/09/20/457845.aspx The original public paper discussing this particular technique of $10 worth materials for breaking these systems using Gummy bears is from Tsutomu Matsumoto, a Japanese cryptographer, from around 2002. I don't think his paper was ever online, but his slides were. They seem gone now at a casual search, but I found some other slides by him: http://web.mit.edu/6.857/OldStuff/Fall03/ref/gummy-slides.pdf Gadi. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
