Can't wait to see this. Hmmm... I can consider this a good Christmas gift.

If you missed the show last night, head over to courttv website to see the first episode:

I personally like the second episode but I don't think courttv is streaming it on their site.

Enjoy!!

Yeah, I watched both episodes and was surprised on how much they were focused on physical security and social engineering.  I guess that makes sense since both targets were much more concerned about their material assets (cars, diamonds) than they were about info.  It's kind of funny that the most damaging result of both break-ins were the possible theft of the personal/financial data of their customers.  I don't think the owners had ever thought of that angle.  Oh, my wife watched it with me just so she could get an idea of "what the hell it is that I really do."     I had to explain that most of my clients won't let us do the full bore break-ins because most of their sites are over seas.  It's one thing to break into a car dealership in Beverly Hills than it is to break into a data center in Brazil.  The Cali cops will hopefully just tase you and take you to jail.  The Sao Palo cops are more likely just to shoot you.

Just watched the 2 episodes, and all I can say is:

This is the type of job we all dream about having. Whether we have the knowledge, ability or even the balls to do it, deep down, this is what we all want.

See... good guys can have loads of fun and an adrenaline rush even with the get out of jail free card that is written permission. Hail to the white hats!!

I haven't seen anymore episodes of that show... was that just the two just a pilot for it?  Or has it already been cancelled?  I was liking it.

Well that is sad, that is one of the few tv shows I would actually actively schedule time to watch.

Thanks for the link, hopefully they take notice.
