When Vinny and I walked up, it created some interest on both sides. There was an interest on their side because they recognized me as the hacker they had read about and they were a bit shocked to see me. It created an interest on our side because each of the three developers was standing there with a $100 bill sticking out of his tradeshow badge. The prize money for anybody who could defeat their system would be the whole $300—which sounded like a lot of money to a pair of teenagers. We could hardly wait to get started.
