But I think my friend pointed out, oh, yeah, that's right. They brought on the cops to test it because some of the talc powder came out. And they're like, that might be cocaine. And my friend made probably an unhelpful comment of like, that's not even how you would smoke cocaine. But, yeah, anyway. Sleight of hand.

That gets into deception and the human aspect, which is often forgotten a lot in hacking. People are like, oh, yeah, it's just knowing computers really well. Definitely a huge piece, but it's people as well that have to be manipulated. You got to understand them. You got to convince them to do things, which is the most common way of getting into so many systems.

Say, hey, like, I'm from your IT department, let me in. And you got to know how to make that sound legit. And, you know, if somebody is like, I don't know, like, okay, let's do some urgency to, like, make them kind of panic a little bit where their decision-making goes down.

And they're panicking and they're like, oh, I just got to do the thing or, you know, I might get fired or this bad thing is going to happen or, you know, there's so many different, like, psychological triggers that come into play and create this misdirection.

And you're like, oh, it's like, Sleight of hand for psychology, right? So you push people into different directions and you get them to reveal their password or run an application on their computer that gives you access to everything. And that overlaps with the technical and the hardware and all these other things.

I guess being a generalist, now that you make me think about it, it just allows you to kind of glue all of those things together. And I guess, yeah, at the time before I officially got into like paid security, I always thought that was a weakness of like, oh, I've never specialized in anything. I couldn't possibly keep up with people who did specialize. I mean, that is true.

Every person I work with that specializes, they go so far into just absolute wizardry that amazes me. And I can never keep up because I just cannot sit down and focus and be like, I'm going to do this thing and that's all I'm going to do. And I get 80% of there and I want to go play with another thing. But, yeah. It worked out. It's great for the entrepreneur type perspective as well.
