What does it mean to think like a hacker?
In this episode, we're joined by Ted Harrington — ethical hacker, speaker, and executive partner at Independent Security Evaluators, where he leads a team that breaks things on purpose to make them stronger. We talk about the hacker mindset: how curiosity, exploration, and questioning assumptions can lead to stronger systems — and more creative thinking.
Ted is the author of Hackable: How to Do Application Security Right and his new book Inner Hacker is all about applying that same mindset beyond just code.
