Life Free or Die Hard - Realism or Hollywood?

Hollywood makes hacking look flashy.
Reality makes it dangerous.

On Socially Engineered, Brandon and Seth break down the hacks you see in movies, TV shows, video games, and books—and put them head‑to‑head with how cyber attacks actually happen in the real world.

Each episode, we dissect fictional cyber incidents, walk through the attack step‑by‑step, and separate what works from what’s pure nonsense—and what’s terrifyingly plausible. We score each hack, debate its realism, and explain how the same attack would unfold against a real company, government, or individual today.
