We are very excited to share Episode 1 of our brand new series Avast Hacker Archives (AHA). Hosted by Avast CISO Jaya Baloo, the series showcases those valuable “Aha!” moments achieved by white hat hackers and researchers that changed the course of our digital world.

We’re kicking it off with our special guest Joe FitzPatrick, the Hardware Security Trainer and Researcher at SecuringHardware.com. Educated as an electrical engineer, Joe has spent over a decade working on silicon debugging, security validation, and penetration testing of CPU systems on chips and microcontrollers. He has worked at Intel, and he has trained hundreds of budding hackers and researchers. In his spare time, he contributes to the NSA playset.
