Joe Grand (aka &quot;Kingpin&quot;) is the real deal. If anyone is not aware, Joe is one of the original members of the famous L0pht hacker group from the 90s [1], and testified in the historical US Senate hearing in 1998 [2][3] (as the youngest member, with just 22 at the time).<p>Besides being a brilliant electric engineer, he&#x27;s also a great storyteller. Worth checking some of his other reverse engineering videos on YT.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;L0pht" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;L0pht</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonpost.com&#x2F;sf&#x2F;business&#x2F;2015&#x2F;06&#x2F;22&#x2F;net-of-insecurity-part-3&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonpost.com&#x2F;sf&#x2F;business&#x2F;2015&#x2F;06&#x2F;22&#x2F;net-of...</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=VVJldn_MmMY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=VVJldn_MmMY</a>
