[ih] Invention of The Internet - circa 1920

[Jared E. Richo]

The Marconi Wireless Telegraph, invented circa 1902/1903 [1], set the 
foundation for a LOT of modern technology. It's where I begin in my ~ 
120 years of Vulnerability History talk.

So in this example, just under 20 years later, but before we saw 
wireless used for transferring encrypted/encoded comms, which led to 
another 'fun' chapter in that history (WW2)?

It tracks =) Hard to say if they did any research, but the arbitrary (?) 
  timeline is believable, especially if there were no wars, corporate 
espionage, or whatever else looming at the time.

[1] While that date is more arguably established, the relevance to where 
I begin my talk is a tad more murky. The demo from Marconi and his 
assistants happened at a given time, yes! But the six+ lead-up that led 
to that event happened before the public articles I have seen give any 
attribution to. So I am speaking at "technology inception" vs 
"technology demonstration" vs "technology hacked" vs "omg why was it 
hacked on the day it was 'unveiled'?!". It's a bit nuanced, especially 
via the lens of modern vulnerability disclosure timelines. To this day, 
it is perhaps the most valuable use-case for why it matters.
