The End of Curiosity: How ChatGPT is Killing the Cat

The End of Curiosity: How ChatGPT is Killing the Cat

Join me and my friends Gater, Loops, and Gourry on the upcoming episode of Hacker Hangouts podcast, "The End of Curiosity: How ChatGPT is Killing the Cat", where we will explore the future of search engines and the potential impact of conversational search engines like Bing Chat that use ChatGPT. These new search engines may eliminate the need to actually visit external sites for information, as users can get the answers they need from the search engine's chat interface. But what does this mean for the thrill of discovery that is at the heart of hacking? Will conversational search engines like Bing Chat that use ChatGPT change the way we approach problem-solving and experimentation, or will they simply make the search for information more efficient and productive, potentially removing the joy of discovery from the process? As members of the hacker community, we believe that hacking is not just about technical skills, but also about approaching problems with a curious mindset and a willingness to experiment and learn. We will discuss whether the new model of conversational search engines will remove the joy of discovery from the search process, leading to the death of discovery. What does the future hold for the hacker community, and how can we continue to foster a love for exploration and experimentation in a changing technological landscape? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion and gain insight and laugh as we bumble our way through another live podcast. Thanks for watching and hack on!

This week, we're shaking things up and getting more personal and diving into the unexpected and unconventional hobbies we have as hackers and cybersecurity professionals. You might expect someone in our line of work to have hobbies that revolve around computers and technology, but the truth is, many of us find balance and fulfillment in hobbies that take us away from screens. From gardening and farming to coffee roasting and painting, we will be sharing our personal stories and the ways these hobbies make us better professionals and happier people. So come hangout and discover how we hack away from our screens and into our passions.  Come, chat, and hack on!

2023: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace the Chaos

Hacker Hangouts is diving into exploring the latest trends, challenges, and solutions in the industry. In this episode, we discuss the craziness of 2023 already and how we are learning to stop worrying and embrace the chaos. With the increasing number of hacks and vulnerabilities, we delve into the complexities and trade-offs that come with the rapid pace of technology and the rising risks. We also take a look at the divide between blue teams who are calling for better tools, more staff, and more training and the overwhelming number of people asking how to break into the field of infosec. Join us as we explore the emotions and thoughts that come with the increased awareness of cybersecurity and hacking, and the feeling of dread that comes with the bad events. Come, chat, and hack on!

Everything's Broken (Again) and Someone Stole Silk!

Everything's Broken (Again) and Someone Stole Silk!

Another wave of egregious findings have come out and I may have been stolen... weird story. Should we keep patching things? What are the alternatives to patching software: Instead of patching software, one option might be to stop using the software altogether and switch to a different solution. Another option might be to continue using the software as is, even if it has known vulnerabilities or issues. What are the long-term consequences of patching versus not patching. So much to chat about. What are the potential long-term consequences of either decision, including the potential for increased security risks or lost productivity if the software is not patched, or the potential for ongoing costs and disruptions if the software is constantly being patched.

Naughty or Nice Software | The Ethics of Hacking Tools

Naughty or Nice Software | The Ethics of Hacking Tools

Every time I release or use a "hacking" tool, I question the ethics of it. It is on me to determine if it will be maliciously used or is it just a tool? Should we care about how our tools are used? Should we build in safe guards? What about large issues like encryption and adding backdoors to it? Lots to unpack.  Come, chat, and hack on!

Are Billionaires a Security Threat?

Are Billionaires a Security Threat?

Are Billionaires a Security Threat? I am fascinated by this question; trade offs between profits and security, sometimes paying the fine is cheaper than caring about security. What is the defense?

I Want to Quit Cybersecurity

I Want to Quit Cybersecurity

There are so many reasons to love cybersecurity but at oftentimes it is a massive struggle. There is a remarkable amount of burnout and frustration in the industry when so many of us really just want to hack away at things and get lost in the world of discovery. Not just a rant but I am hoping to discovery ways to combat this and find some love again for this industry.  Come, chat, and hack on!

There is a massive difference between cyber security for a small business vs enterprise though it is one I never understood till I started working with both.

What makes a hacker good?

What makes a hacker good?

Lots to chat about in a rather simple question. * What skills makes a "hacker" good vs a beginner * What ethics makes a hacker good vs evil - seems straight forward * Why are some hackers remembered so fondly while others are forgotten or shunned - is it the tech skills, how they interacted with the community, were they CYBER "influencers" Mostly another shameless excuse to hangout with awesome people like yourself!

US DOJ No Longer Trashing Our Rights, Man!

US DOJ No Longer Trashing Our Rights, Man!

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will no longer prosecute ethical  hackers under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). We are going to  discuss what this means and share our opinion on it. Come, chat,  discuss, and hack on!  Summary of what happened: The U.S. Department of Justice has announced a revision of its policy on  how federal prosecutors should charge violations of the Computer Fraud  and Abuse Act. Under the new policies, software testing, investigation,  security flaw analysis, and network breaches intended to promote the  security and safety of the target devices or services are not to be  prosecuted.  The new policy focuses specifically on deliberate breaches of access  limitations on computers and networks. However, it does not give a pass  to hacking under the pretense of conducting security research. Federal  prosecutors will view all cases under an ethical lens to determine the  actor's intentions.  The Computer Misuse Act in the U.K. has acted as an intimidating force  against the infosec community. The DOJ also made additional  clarifications in the new policies regarding cases of breaking terms of  service, creating multiple pseudonymous accounts and using work  computers for personal purposes.   Links:  * https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1507126/download  * https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-announces-new-policy-charging-cases-under-computer-fraud-and-abuse-act   DISCORD Invite - https://discord.gg/jCNdNPKygP   👉 Subscribe to Hacker Hangouts  - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGbGO7Ccpi21gi0xqGwHSyQ?sub_confirmation=1   👉 Subscribe to Alex Chaveriat- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbHYwhbarpO6vXgbIYmcXnQ?sub_confirmation=1   🤘Twitter:   https://twitter.com/alexchaveriat https://twitter.com/gregory_price
