 So a few months ago Jinville Coldwin messaged me on discord and he asked me like hey, John Would you be willing to come over to London for the Google caps of the flag finals and I was like, yeah That sounds awesome and incredible and amazing so I got in touch with the guys that were kind of putting this together and Google was willing to compensate. Hey flights and lodging travel logistics all that so it was just awesome and incredible opportunity And I got to hang out and meet for one thing Jinville Coldwin and live overflow and gadget overflow And you should check that out and all the other incredible cool crazy awesome people over there And it was one awesome trip. So live overflow has a video out on his channel to showcase this I'm gonna be posting one very very soon on the actual caps of the flag stuff But because live overflow put out his video on the Bletchley Park. Wow, that's a tongue twister So I'm uploading my video for the Bletchley Park trip and travel too. Here we go. Roll the clip So I was flying from the United States And I tried to make sure that everything was lined up with a decent amount of time to be able to get to things Account for things in case the flight is delayed in case we need to wait for our bags But turns out our flight was literally canceled the day of so that was a little bit of a scramble We were able to get on a earlier flight and I'm actually very very grateful our friends Caleb You know him well from other videos He was willing to take the kind of work job rotation that my girlfriend Caitlyn was on because she had to work for Kind of our flight But when we needed to leave earlier Caleb was able to pick that up and I'm grateful for that Kind of goes to show how great our friends are and Google was willing to let me bring a plus one Caitlyn So I'm very grateful for that. Thank you So when we finally got into London We were meeting up with all of the Google vulnerability reward program researchers are kind of Google's bug bounty And it was really cool to get to know them kind of understand them their personalities what they're interested in what they like to do How they do what they do etc So kind of as a treat for all of us that were able to come in early Google was willing to send us to Bletchley Park Which is a an awesome place in London if you don't know where the codebreakers were working on breaking the code of the enigma machine for World War 2 So this event was called Google Escalate and it was really three events in one, right? There was a Google capture the flag finals which myself and live overflow were there to kind of record and get some press There was also the Google vulnerability rewards program Their bug bounty is gonna getting together talking about their latest hacks and discoveries within Google products And there was a student event that we're actually just training and teaching some cool programming and hacking So when we were out doing our thing our leader Haley who was kind of an organizer for all the different events and things We were going to do she was trying to herd cats or lay between all of us So she would hold up this little guy We affectionately refer to it as the lollipop and I'm really pretty happy. I swiped it So this was the first time I ever got to meet live overflow in person which was incredible and awesome He's a great guy and honestly hilarious between all the stuff what he was doing. We were doing together And it was just kind of cool to get some I don't know stupid YouTube internet hackers together. I liked it. It was fun We weren't gonna meet Jinville until the next day when the capture the flag competition really got started But we were able to hang out and enjoy Bletchley Park and see some really cool stuff around there I saw this little thing that looked like base 64 and I'm like what no is that is that actually base 64? And I got close to it turned out to be this cool little hologram thing And it would transform the text or encoded or decoded representation of the message and it was English that it was decoding as I thought like oh, okay. It's not real base 64. I don't think that's the actual translation I don't know you should try and figure it out One of the things that was kind of funny and I guess cool in an interesting way when Live and I got invited to be I don't know kind of like little media people to record and kind of capture Document some of the stuff that was going on for the capture the flag event and it was funny because like I'm out there like recording with my phone and Live overflow has this awesome setup in camera. It's like man. I need to invest in some gear I'm out here a little scrub with an iPhone So this video is admittedly kind of a teaser for the bigger capture the flag video that's going to be coming very very soon Looking back on this. I realized I don't have a whole lot of footage from our time at Bletchley park because we were exploring kind of I don't know seeing the sights and just enjoying the time there and meeting all these incredible and awesome people So very very soon both myself and live overflow will probably be showcasing some footage and videos from the google capture the flag But it was an awesome opportunity and very very cool experience. So thank you guys. Thank you google Thank you ultimately you You the audience you you for making I don't know all of this kind of a reality and a success and such I don't know a prosperous endeavor prosperous process Is that a is that the word that I want? I think it is I don't know Oh prosperous means Flourishing financially. No, that's not it. That's not
