130: Ethical Hacking with Ted Harrington

"Hacking" is a word that evokes awe from the public, laughter from developers, and pure fear from technology leaders.  But what really is hacking?  What does trust really mean and how do we acquire and keep trust on the Internet?  It turns out that, while hacking is associated with computers, the methods behind it have been around since the dawn of time.  Today we have Ted Harrington from ISE to dive deep into hacking, all the way from the medieval times to today.
