or not. now as we ve learned there are the black hats who do a shady business at the white hats who might use their skills by working for an i.t. company or for the government like for germany s foreign intelligence service for example where master hackers are urgently needed a license to hack that s how the agency is trying to recruit a new generation of computer whizzes but seeing that young hackers usually don t have the most approving attitude towards the concept of nation states and governments who would have a resume here well we found one hacker that was willing to talk. spending hours days weeks trying to get into a system and getting nowhere can be very frustrating but when you finally succeed it s an amazing kick. interviewing lucas is an amazing kick for me to look at
