Security & hacking Videos Recommended on Hacker News (192)
Security & hacking is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 192 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2011 and 2026 — 481 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Computer security: vulnerabilities, exploits, malware, reverse engineering, CTF, penetration testing, Black Hat and DEF CON talks, OS security, memory safety, zero-days, responsible disclosure.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on Behind the Scenes of iOS Security: “if you haven't watched the talk at Black Hat I'd highly recommend it” — an HN commenter, 2018.
