I get hired by companies to hack into their systems and break into their physical facilities to find security holes. Our success rate is 100%; we've always found a hole.

There is no patch for stupidity.

Social engineering bypasses all technologies, including firewalls.

You can never protect yourself 100%. What you do is protect your self as much as possible and mitigate risk to an acceptable degree. You can never remove all risk.

Should we fear hackers? Intention is at the heart of this discussion.

Are hackers a threat? The degree of threat presented by any conduct, whether legal or illegal, depends on the actions and intent of the individual and the harm they cause.

Hackers are breaking the systems for profit. Before, it was about intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge and thrill, and now hacking is big business.

Social engineering is using deception, manipulation and influence to convince a human who has access to a computer system to do something, like click on an attachment in an e-mail.

As a young boy, I was taught in high school that hacking was cool.

The key to social engineering is influencing a person to do something that allows the hacker to gain access to information or your network.

Social engineers veil themselves in a cloak of believability.

My only armor is my belief that life has meaning...

The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

All stakeholders must participate in the gains and losses of any particular situation.

You either believe women are people or you don't. It's that simple.

Donald Trump came out as a birther, which is Republican for, 'I'm running for president.'

I will not have the power of nonviolence to be underestimated in order to cover my limitations or weaknesses.

Believing that you cannot have something is the same thing as not desiring to have it, for it produces the same result.

My days among the dead are passed; Around me I behold, Where'er these casual eyes are cast, The mighty minds of old; My never-failing friends are they, With whom I converse day by day.
