It's almost August, which means Hacker Summer Camp — the confluence of BSides Las Vegas, Black Hat USA, and DEF CON — is nearly upon us. If you're going to Las Vegas to take part in the annual celebration of probing every system for any possible weakness, we've got a wide selection of documentaries to get you in the investigative mood.
And even if you can't make it to the desert this year, you can console yourself by looking at the weather reports for Nevada and streaming these examinations of cyberattacks and the people behind them. Most of these are available either free on YouTube or as a standard offering on a streaming service, but we note which ones require rental or purchase fees.
Full disclosure: I haven't seen any of these, but each of them looks far superior to the execrable Hackers. Unknown if they live up to Sneakers, but that was the best computer security film of all time.
Sneakers is a great movie. Lots of fun to watch.
