About

 

Critical Thinking is a "by hackers, for hackers" podcast designed to be both technical and fun to listen to. 

We keep it real - we talk about everything from technical exploit breakdowns to hacker mental health issues.

From new techniques and research to the live hacking event scene, CT will be dropping a pod weekly to keep you up to date and in the loop with the hacker life.

While the pod is focused primarily on the bug bounty hunting experience, we also cover topics relevant to appsec, pentesting, security research, and secure software development.
