Hector has some great insights, that makes the show somewhat interesting. But the FBI dude’s constant juvenile Bro joke attempts are more annoying than they are funny.

Crappie people do crappie things. You are what you do so there for you are what you do. Criminal cowards of chaos.

Long time listener of the pod and I have zero IT background. That’s how amazing this podcast is. Then when they came out with a paid Patreon subscription pod, it exceeded my expectations. The stuff they talk about on Patreon is hilarious lol

They make cyber security entertaining and informative for normal people. I would suggest any executive or business owner listen regularly to keep such things top of mind. I hesitate to recommend it to friends and family because they just can’t resist the occasional F bomb.

I started an episode but had to turn it off shortly after they both announced their admiration for Joe Rogan and joking about the cohost getting trafficked to an el Salvadoran death camp. These guys are complete jokers

Please get to the point. Thank you!

Love this podcast! I know almost nothing about computers, except control+ ALT+Delete does not work like it used to. These guys have opened my eyes to a whole world that is fascinating and a bit scary. They've mastered discussing complex cycber security topics with levity and everyday lanuage. Thanks guys! Glad show is back!

I listened to the Lex podcast with Chris the week it came out and must’ve been distracted during the podcast plug. I recently saw the Lex podcast again and heard about The Hacker and The Fed. It’s great and I hope to hear more! I can’t believe I missed the plug for this podcast last year!

Love these two guys. Where did they go?

Keep it going!

I’ve been listening to this show for a few months now and have enjoyed every episode. On my weekly routine now.

Chris!!! You keeping calling it “pound”….. it’s a hashtag in that context! ###################### #teamFineas Hashtag #notpound

Great podcast except y’all yeah-no a lot;) lol.

I listen to various shows, the technology sector talk format is generally a droning, monotonous voice. I listen for the entertainment factor, some facts, digging into the ‘how’ the feats were accomplished. However, if I want the specific details, I’ll look up the topic and read about it. The two play off of one another very well. I would suggest you facetime (or the equivalent) each other during the show if you don’t already do so (better yet, in studio). The facial expressions of your co-host after a cutting remark, can lead to interesting places I’ve found. Thank you

This is a great show and informational. But my man, The Hacker, needs to purchase a better microphone. Is he recording in the bathroom with a 2012 Apple Headphone with Mic? LOL. Makes no sense. The Fed could benefit from a better mic, but is manageable.

I just recently graduated with a BA in Science Information Technology with an Emphasis in Cybersecurity. This is WHAT I NEED! These two add the real world experience and expertise that I absolutely LOVE! Thank you guys so much! You are “Makin me smarter!”

I think the podcast is awesome and you guys do a great job hosting it.

Guys I’m loving your Bromance❤️💕 Opposites do attract, you know that right?! I find your podcast informative, educational, and love the topics you cover. Picked up your show after listening to your case file on Agent Williams podcast…Great job! Hector – That’s a good question! Yes, Dude... I would The Hacker and A Fed gear.

Guys, every episode has been awesome until today’s! We want to hear cool stories not insurance promos. Keep it cool!

I’ve been telling everyone in my network about this for the last couple months. Incredible show, glad you guys are discussing these topics. Definitely a bright future ahead for this project.

I am a novice programmer and I love learning about cybersecurity. The fact that this is hosted by a hacker and a federal agent is proof that Chris and Hector know what they are talking about (Great job, guys)! This dynamic duo has put together an awesome podcast that I have learned a lot from, and I definitely recommend this podcast for anyone who is interested in cybersecurity and wants to learn more, or anybody who wants to know how to protect their devices in such a way as to protect them from bad actors. I am also a huge nerd, and I love hearing Chris and Hector get nerdy about their computing terms. Most of the cybersecurity books I read dumb down the terms as to make it easier to understand, and I love hearing computer experts use computing terms that I like using. All in all, a great show, and I hope to see a bunch more episodes in the future! Great job, Chris and Hector! I have learned a lot.

Ok, EDIT here: this show is now one of my favorites. Hector AND Chris make an awesome team for this and I love hearing them talk. Their stories and conversations are just incredible and the wisdom here is so valuable! I wish the episodes were longer! I also wish it was twice a week! Honestly though, great show guys. Truly. I’ll also say my opinion of Hector has completely changed. The REAL Hector seems like a great human being. It’s awesome. And Chris too - what a great guy. They compliment each other perfectly. Anyway, GREAT JOB guys. Keep the episodes coming!

Excellent information from an unlikely duo - highly engaging!

Excellent!

I learned about this on Lex Fridman’s podcast; and I’m happy I did!

Hector I’m very happy for you that you decided to use your skills to help regular people learn about what we need to know to try to protect ourselves. Thank you both for teaching us and sharing your fascinating stories!

I learned of this show while listening to Chris on Lex’s show. I find the topic (cyber security & cyber crime) interesting and thought that Chris was a great guest on Lex’s show. I also thought the back story of how Chris & Hector came together was a great story that everyone could learn from. So, I decided to give this show a listen and I’m so glad I did. Chris & Hector make for a really good team in how each compliments the other, and how each comes from a different background, and therefore are able to bring different but equally interesting content to the table. I just started listening, so I’m looking forward to catching up and hearing new episodes in the future. Good luck to you both.

After listening to Chris on Lex’s show, I decided to try this. Fascinating!

This is the show I’ve been looking for to help teach family and friends the fundamentals of good cyber hygiene. Captivating and technical. Props for the jazz/lo-fi segues!

Great podcast and so informative. It’s very special to hear Chris talk about the humanity of criminals. We all need to have empathy toward others

Really enjoyed this podcast; super relevant and interesting
