Show Notes
In this episode, James sits down with Tommy DeVoss (aka Doggy G), who went from a teenage hacker dodging federal prison to becoming one of the most successful ethical hackers in the world. Tommy spills raw, unfiltered stories about his wild days in IRC channels, running with the infamous World of Hell hacking group, and somehow managing to turn his life around to rake in over $4 million in bug bounties. You'll hear how a 10-year computer ban gave him enough pent-up tech energy to power a small country and how his boredom waiting for a friend led to a $180,000 Yahoo bug discovery. Yeah, some people text while waiting—Tommy casually breaks the internet.
