It always fascinates me how powerful a single computer is in someone's bedroom.

On a computer a person can fall in love, get an education, get a job, do their job,

and it gives us endless access to entertainment like movies and music.

But what really intrigues me is that keyboard and mouse can be extremely dangerous.

The right combinations of keystrokes are illegal, such as hacking into a bank and stealing

money, which all can be done on a computer in your bedroom.

You barely need to move your fingers much at all to make it happen.

Yet such a small physical movement can have a massive impact in the digital world.

It's a synchronous and logarithmic to the point that it's hard to visualize.

A push of a button can bring a whole country to a halt.

And the wrong combination of keystrokes can have some serious consequences for whoever

pushed the button.

These are true stories from the dark side of the internet.

As much as we all enjoy hacking, we know that every engagement ends with writing a report.

It's the reason customers hire us.

In the future, we'll be using a zero-day exploit to get into their laser-guided proximity

alert system.

That's all cool.

But you still have to write a report about it.
