Thanks to a reader for emailing this piece on "ethical hacking" to me, an interesting piece regarding how the good guys, or the "white hat hackers", go about helping society defend against the bad guys, or the "black hat hackers".
As you read the piece, try to imagine ways that you could adopt some of the ideas to test your own security, whether it be in cyberspace, or in meatspace (i.e., the real, physical world). Try some vulnerability testing around your own life and discover and remedy your own weaknesses.
Also, note the mention of open source intelligence (OSINT) collection. In the world of hacking and outside of it, a guerrilla must be adept at intelligence gathering, and this involves at least as much OSINT as any other type of intelligence.
