Voices From Amasia Interview #2 with Jorge the Ethical Hacker

Noah: What is an Ethical Hacker?

Jorge: An ethical hacker is a computer security professional who is able to detect and exploit vulnerabilities. In the case of not performing any malicious act with these actions is considered "White hat hacker" which is what I am. The ethical hacker is one of the most valuable assets in the world of computer science since they help to support the security of our most used services. Without them, the number of vulnerabilities would be enormous.

Noah: How do you actually, physically, Ethical Hack? Do you operate in the Dark Web primarily?

Jorge: Physically with any type of device preconfigured by my miso, much more can be done than one believes. Currently practically any device can be configured and modified for the analysis and detection of vulnerabilities. Mainly I operate in the dark web since that is where more crimes are committed and where more help is necessary on our part.

Noah: How long have you been active in the Ethical Hacking community? Is there a large community?

Jorge: I have been active since I was 12 years old. Yes, there is an active and international community, but it is somewhat secret, since identities are not usually revealed and it is a very closed world.

Noah: Who are you “against”? Who are the bad actors in the space that you seek to combat?

Jorge: I am against Assassins, psychopaths, pedophiles.

Noah: How does Ethical Hacking relate to Blockchain and Cryptocurrency?

Jorge: In the blockchain there are many security holes, the last scandal was the one produced in coinbase. So the ethical hackers provide a huge support for the exchange, wallets, smart contracts, platforms etc.

The human mind is covetous and clumsy, so each step that we make causes us to go back two steps.

Noah: Do you believe the Nation State will evolve and adapt in the new, interconnected world?

Jorge: Of course, it will evolve. I have always thought that believing that a technological stage will be maintained is the stupidest thing you can think of. Just look years ago and the phases of evolution that we have suffered, every year that passes the evolution is constant.

Noah: How do you see the next five years playing out in terms of protocols? Will Proof-of-work always remain, will it evolve? Will Proof-of-Stake (a more advanced form like Security-deposit Proof-of-Stake which is being developed by Casper) win out?

Jorge: It is very probable that POS will end up taking over since it is a much more practical system for the common society and the adoption of masses.

Noah: How do you see yourself in the future of Blockchain, and the Internet at the Geo-political landscape of the world starts to shift?

Jorge: In blockchain, I will continue working on the projects that I like the most to help their growth and exercising my altruistic work helping the biggest exchange and wallets to maintain their security.

As far as my geopolitical analysis of the blockchain has been allowed to link all the guilds and cultures without any type of racism or class behavior. For me it is the most precious thing that has been obtained from the blockchain. Undoubtedly the union is strength in any aspect of life.

Noah: If you were a natural or geologic formation, what would you be and why (i.e. water, a stalactite, a hot spring)?

Jorge: In an ocean called internet we are the water which we see everything.

Noah: Any final thoughts or reflections?

Jorge: As a final reflection. How many of you have entered your personal information on your mobile phone or computer? How many of you control that you are not being spied on? Our ID, name and surname, address where we live are difficult data to change, do not leave them in the hands of others who can do with them evil.

Maskerade, reveal your thoughts regardless of your identity.
