The Magic & Allure of Hacking - Dr. Max Kilger

The key to any good magic trick isn't the prop, it is the deception. To trick the audience into believing what they see and ignore what they don't. Much is the same with hacking, cybercrime...and concerningly cyber terror.Dr. Max Kilger joins the hosts of Crossing The Firewall to discuss how the magic and allure of hacking created the Hacker Community and how that is evolved - and in many ways lost its magic - into cybercrime.As the hacker community evolved into the cybercrime community overtime, something that the Crossing The Firewall hosts blame on the influx of money into the hacking community, and what the cybercrime community may be evolving into next.
