Mike Andrews was one of the coolest and most knowledgeable professors I had the opportunity of learning from, while at school @ Florida Tech.

Currently, Mike is currently working as the Principle consultant at Foundstone/McAfee, taking a break from teaching.

At school, we did not have video tape lectures, but I did find this video of Mike talking at Google on how to break web software, how web applications are attacked and walks through a testing framework for evaluating the security of an application and takes some deep-dives into a few interesting and common vulnerabilities and how they can be exploited.

This is a great presentation by Johnny Long at Defcon. He talks about how easy it is to gain access to secure locations without any “hacking” aka physical security.

Discovery Channel played a very interesting documentary titled “The History of Hacking”. This goes into the whole history of hacking starting with phone phreaking and Blue boxes and to the present state of hacking.

However, a significant portion of this documentary tackles Social Engineering especially the most famous or rather infamous social engineer of all, Kevin Mitnick. Folks in Computer Security should definitely read up on Kevin Mitnick’s books , The Art of Deception and The Art of Intrusion, both very interesting reads.
