A belated May the 4th to all of you Star Wars
Fans out there! If you’ve never seen Star Wars: a New
Hope, then beware: Spoilers ahead (also, you should go watch
that. Seriously, go now. We can talk after). Obviously, one of our favorite topics here at
HackerAttacker is security in all its shapes and forms. We’ve talked about various
hackers, how to hack
the government, and even how hacking
is like picking a lock. One thing
that I never really take into consideration, however, is how much security is
thrown in our faces throughout pop culture.
I’m not just talking about advanced techniques seen in movies like
Mission Impossible or James Bond; I’m talking about popular culture both old
and new. Specifically, how Star Wars
taught me more about information security than most any actual course or class
ever could.
