Fan-favorite Jack Rhysider of the Darknet Diaries podcast joins Hacker Valley Studio hosts Ron and
Chris for the second episode of Hacker Valley Blue! Jack joins the show again during an ideal season - one focused on threat intelligence - and this episode will focus on Jack’s past in the field of threat intelligence, as well as on a major issue faced daily by analysts in the field: that of managing bias.
As the conversation begins, the group focuses on threat intelligence and Jack’s work in the field. Jack has been pouring himself into his own podcast, leaning into the fact that threat intelligence is a form of knowing what has happened in the past by his sharing of stories. Jack explains what has surprised him recently in his work, how he maintains a sharp sense of focus, and what sort of continuity he sees between the news-sharing of his current role and a more formal practitioner role within the field of threat intelligence.
Jack’s podcast work necessitates practical skill in his field, and demands an ability to share complex concepts through simple expression.
1:40 - Listeners are introduced to Jack and the episode ahead.
4:13 - How is Jack currently thinking about storytelling?
8:40 - The group dives into some topics related to Jack’s work: his focus and need for practical skill.
