Samy (@samykamkar) shouldn't need too much of an introduction to most people. He's been in the news for hacking garage doors, credit cards, cars, and much much more. Samy likes to hack things and has a knack for finding vulnerabilities in everything from locked machines to wireless doorbells. His site has the full list of vulnerabilities as well as videos and press appearances. Which made him the perfect guess for talking about how to find vulnerabilities. In this episode we discuss: how Samy got started; what is a vulnerability; what skills are needed; how he decides his next project; steps to finding vulnerabilities; what he does when he discovers a vulnerability; how long the process takes.
