Learning to hack can elevate a good engineer into a great one. In this talk, we'll demonstrate this transformation live. We'll start by examining a few lines of code that unsuspecting engineers might assume are safe and secure. Together, we'll exploit this same code through a hacking exercise that the audience can participate in from their phones.

Demonstrating the ease of hacking is just the beginning! We'll go further to show how examining code with a hacker’s level of curiosity can enhance your perspective. You'll leave with a new approach to code reviews, bringing a deeper level of scrutiny to your own pull requests. This shift will make your applications more secure, your team more efficient, and your company safer.
