Last week, I listed a whole bunch of informative podcasts. Today, I’ll be listing a few of the best ongoing security / hacker video podcasts along with a couple of dead ones that are still worth checking out.
We have finally released the first issue of the MrCracker.com Newsletter. If you haven’t already subscribed to it, you can do so on the right hand side of this page. As of right now, the table of contents of the newsletter is the following:
As a hacker, you are constantly learning new things and staying up to date in the scene. But sometimes you can’t due to your daily responsibilities like driving places, mowing the lawn, shoveling, cleaning around the house and sitting on the toilet. Well now you still CAN with podcasts. Pump ‘em into your iPod, Zune or phone, plug in your earphones and you have a constant stream of knowledge being pumped into your head while you do your daily chores/responsibilities. Multitasking ftw! Below I have put together a list of the best security/hacking podcasts out there today. (IMO)
Though published in 1992, and released as a freeware, electronic book (eBook) in 1994, The Hacker Crackdown, by Bruce Sterling, offers a unique and colorful portrait of the nature of “cyberspace” in the early 1990s, and the nature of “computer crime” at that time. The events that Sterling discusses occur on the cusp of the mass popularity of the Internet, which arguably achieved critical mass in late 1994. It also encapsulates a moment in the information age revolution when “cyberspace” morphed from the realm of telephone modems and BBS’ into the Internet and the World Wide Web.
