From Air Force to Exploits: HD Moore on MetaSploit, runZero, and Building Like a Hacker

Before he was known for creating MetaSploit, HD Moore was reverse engineering software for the Air Force while still in high school. In this episode of Dialed in with Greg Martin, he shares the origin story of one of the most influential open source tools in cybersecurity, his transition from tinkerer to product builder, and how that same mindset drives his latest venture, runZero.

Greg and HD explore the power and challenges of open source, what it means to build like a hacker, and why finding flaws in your own tools is part of the process. If you're into security, innovation, or building things that break things, this one’s for you.
