Hacking for Good – Daily Security Byte EP. 194

December 17, 2015 By Corey Nachreiner

Most of the time, the media uses the term hacking in the negative context. However, there are many white hats who hack for good. In the last Daily Security Byte episode for 2015, I cover two fun stories that show how people can use hacking and reverse engineering techniques to do things that improve our lives.

Show note: This will be the last Daily Byte video this year. I’ll resume the daily video January 4th, 2016.

(Episode Runtime: 3:12)

    Hi Corey-

    Thanks for all the valuable security posts you provided this year. Looking forward to the new ‘look and feel’ of next year’s Security Bytes. Just curious, what software and video equipment do you use to produce these videos?

    Thanks again,

    -Bob
