    What did you learn in school today? Revenge. Hackers of the world unite!

    In episode 7, we wrap up the three-part series on the hacks of Hackers. We dissect wiretapping, the hackers' efforts to thwart a catastrophic virus, and the real-world implications of hacking. Obviously, I talk about parallel cases of iconic computer viruses, denial of service attacks, and more hacking history. Plus, a teaser for next episode. *I did say Under Siege, but my allergies! 🙃

    It's in that place where I put that thing that time...? aka Hack the Planet!! pt 2

    This is part 2 of the now *trilogy* of the hacks of Hackers. This episode covers the "Destroy Agent Gill" competition between Dade and Kate, we talk more about the Phantom Phreak and his exploits, and we delve into ways of getting information. The IRL situations I uncovered in my research... are kinda crazy , some scary and all real. EXAMPLE, have you ever heard of a MAP MASTER? 🤭🤭🤭

    Mess With the Best, Die Like the Rest....Hack the Planet!!

    As promised in ep 4, this episode is covering some of the hacks of cult classic film Hackers. I also go over IRL situations based on the hacks done in the film, including a signal hijacking, the first known incident of hacking in school, jackpotting, and more. This is part one of three episodes on the hacks of Hackers.

    No Jack City aka I am Jack's Inflamed Sense of Rejection

    *** I think this is the best and cleanest show yet, after having to record and edit it FOUR TIMES. Scroll down to see why. In episode 4, I go over the alleged threat of Juice Jacking, which turns into ANOTHER kind of jacking, and ends with VPNs. Then, a teaser for the next show! ***First off, This is the FOURTH time I had to record this, and there's still a few glitches. This is because of Riverside.fm's editing platform. It lost TWO of my recordings, then found one but it was missing material and the tempo was slowed down. Then it lost my replacement that I recorded whilst they tried to locate it. Then this last recording had a few parts missing, and it has a few glitches. EVERY TIME I've used it, for EVERY podcast, it has had some issue and I was grateful to get an actual recording. I am looking for a new service, because I lost so many hours in editing and re-recording.
