New evidence of wireless way before our time
14 Jan 2008This is something that’s been out there for a while, but when my Canadian colleague, security guru, and all-around good guy Peter Davis forwarded it to me, I laughed out loud. Had to share it:
After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, American scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Americans, in the weeks that followed, Canadian scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the Toronto Globe and Mail newspaper read: “Canadian archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a
hundred years earlier than the Americans.”One week later, “Moose Jaw Times Herald”, a local newspaper in Saskatchewan reported the following:
“After digging as deep as 30 meters in sagebrush fields near Moose Jaw, Ole Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reports that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Saskatchewan had already gone “wireless.”

“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.
His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
