Hacker Situational Awareness, Part 2 – John Threat – SCW #97

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,



There’s something happening here – and what it is ain’t exactly clear to O.G hackers like John Threat or our own Mr. Jeff Man. We’re going to devote an episode talking about how things used to be back in the day from a hacker/penetration perspective and discuss how things are today. Are things better? Worse? Depends on your attack vector, perhaps? Join us on Discord and participate in the discussion of what’s right and what’s wrong in our industry today and what can we do about it. All from a hacker’s perspective. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/scw for all the latest episodes!
