Listen "inside the life of a malware reverse engineer "
Episode Synopsis
This week, I sit down with Anuj Soni, reverse engineer, cybersecurity expert, YouTube creator, and founder of The Malware Lab at Breakpoint Cybersecurity, to unpack how malware actually works and what really happens when systems get compromised. We walk through the difference between viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware, and phishing in plain English, and why reverse engineering has become one of the most powerful tools in modern cyber defense.You’ll learn how to spot early red flags on an infected device, how phishing can quietly turn into real compromise, and how reverse engineering helps drive better threat intelligence and stronger security products. We also touch on career strategy, including how to prove your skills even when roles list “required experience.”In the lifestyle segment, Anuj shares what a reverse engineer’s everyday uniform actually looks like, from work-from-home staples to his go-to Nike sneakers. Plus, a quick headline on Project Concord, South Korea’s AI-run data center, and how automated power and workload management could reshape global infrastructure.If you’ve ever wanted a clearer, more confident understanding of how cyber threats actually operate and how defenders stay ahead, this episode will leave you feeling informed and empowered.
