Send us a text


This week on Privacy Please, we had the privilege of speaking
with Thomas Perkins, who cofounded Malcore and is more recently
known for his reverse engineering skills. Thomas was the data
analyst who cracked the source code of TikTok for the Australian
cyber security and intelligence firm, internet 2.0. 

About the guest:


As a self-taught professional software engineer, my primary focus
is on developing cutting-edge tools that can detect, classify,
and prevent malware such as my invention Malcore
(https://malcore.io). My passion for coding runs deep, and I
firmly believe that it is both a science and an art form. While
anyone can learn to code, only a select few can truly master
it.
