    Ex-NSA Hacker on China’s Cyber Weapons, AI Surveillance & What Palantir Really Does | Kyle Hanslovan

    Kyle Hanslovan is an award‑winning cyberwarfare expert, co‑founder of Huntress Labs, and a former NSA hacker whose real missions blur the line between espionage and war. In this eye‑opening episode, Kyle reveals the unfiltered truth about life inside America’s most secretive spy agency — from being recruited at 17 to spearheading offensive hacking campaigns.In our first instalment, Hanslovan recounts clandestine operations where writing “software that kills” meant a bomb was the uninstaller. He explains how Wi‑Fi signals can map human bodies through walls and why $500 drones could soon be used for assassinations.From NSA tradecraft, AI war games, and DARPA’s Cyber Grand Challenge to the emotional weight of counter‑terrorism and the ethics of intelligence after Snowden, Kyle pulls no punches. He compares NSA, CIA, FBI, and DEA missions, shares why he still calls the NSA the most ethical place he ever worked, and warns that private contractors like Palantir are iterating faster than the law can keep up.Support Kyle: https://www.kylehanslovan.comFollow Kyle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylehanslovan/Support Huntress: https://www.huntress.com/🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0qC6OyOzuKraHl2vG9xdds?si=VjQm-nINSvWGrbdkn7lj7w📧 For guest or media inquiries: reedmorinshowbusiness@gmail.comSubscribe for more real stories from intelligence, special operations, cyber warfare, and the shadowy world of espionage.⸻Related Episodes: • Inside the Elite Team Hunting Cartels in America → https://youtu.be/yne6IoVAFV8 • Former CIA Spy Exposes the Secrets of Espionage and AI Control → https://youtu.be/eDj3891xqow⸻Follow The Reed Morin Show: • Twitter: https://twitter.com/@ReedMorinShow • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@reedmorinshow • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereedmorinshow 00:00 – Intro01:17 – How Kyle Started Hacking05:41 – How the NSA Recruited Him Into Offensive Hacking 14:39 – The Reality of NSA Cyber Weapons 21:44 – What It Feels Like to Hack for the U.S. Government 24:15 – Cybercrime, Bitcoin & Tracking Criminals Across the Internet 40:05 – China’s Cyber War: How They’re Attacking America Right Now 56:41 – CIA vs NSA vs FBI: Who Actually Does What in Cyber Operations 01:15:22 – Psychological Warfare: The Disturbing Olympic Sabotage Plot 01:27:37 – AI Surveillance, Data Exploitation & the Future of Cyber War 01:46:52 – Palantir’s Real Mission Inside U.S. Intelligence 02:02:40 – Edward Snowden, Insider Threats & System Admin Power 02:18:50 – How Hackers REALLY Steal Your Passwords in 2025 02:32:40 – The Future of Cyber Warfare & Kyle’s Message to Young Hackers #podcast #nsa #spy
