Channel: Brian Cluff

Sorry for the less than ideal audio.  I neglected to press record on the digital recorder leaving me with only camera audio.

Presented to the Phoenix Linux Users Group (PLUG) on February 9th 2017 by Yael Grauer.

Not only does Mr. Robot set the bar for dystopian hacker suspense thrillers, it’s also a great hacking show that’s true to the culture and portrays technology authentically.

In this presentation, Yael will discuss what Mr. Robot gets right... and the mostly free, mostly open source programs used by the characters on the show.

Biography: Yael is a freelance tech reporter covering online privacy and security, mass surveillance, and digital freedom. She has written for WIRED, Ars Technica, Slate, Motherboard, the Intercept, Forbes Tech, and more. She also co-hosts Monday Morning Dumpster Dive, a podcast on Friday news dumps that also airs on KJZZ.

For fun, Yael enjoys hiking, gardening, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and spending time with her husband and their puppy.
