Jack Rhysider is a veteran of the security world. He likes to explore, rather it be through street cycling, empty buildings, alleyways – or just getting outdoors. He grew up with conspiracy theories, but found himself drawn more to a truthful scandal over the former. Having watched some of the biggest events in history come and go – dot.com bubble, bitcoin boom, etc. – he felt the increasing presence of an entrepreneurial itch. In the early days, he created some blogs and websites, using some well known web tech, and cultivated a love of podcasting and storytelling. Not able to find the right podcast in the info sec arena, he decided to give it a shot on his own. Fast forward to today, his podcast – Darknet Diaries – is one of the most well known podcasts available, topping the charts with its weekly release of hacking true stories.
