This whole thing has reminded me how prescient the movie "Sneakers" was.

"There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!"

"The world isn't run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money. It's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data. It's all just electrons."



From getting paid for pentesting to phreaking to the nick I've used for fifteen+ years, that movie changed and shaped my life indelibly.


I missed it when it first came out, and only saw it for the first time about 2 years ago. I've probably watched it 20+ times since then. It really is a great movie.
