The Malicious Life Podcast by Cybereason exposes the human and financial powers operating under the surface that make cybercrime what it is today, and explores the people and the stories behind the cybersecurity industry and its evolution.
Host Ran Levi interviews hackers and industry experts, discussing the hacking culture of the 1970s and 80s, the subsequent rise of viruses in the 1990s and today’s advanced cyber threats. The podcast recently celebrated its 5 Year Anniversary and we are looking forward to many more years of delivering the best hacking and security stories from the past and today.

![The Problem With Kernel-Mode Anti-Cheat Software [ML B-Side]](https://www.cybereason.com/hubfs/the%20problem%20with%20kernel%20mode%20anti%20cheat%20software-1.png)
Nobody likes cheaters, especially in video games. That's why EA and other publishers are implementing kernel-mode anti-cheat software in their games. Yet some people warn that installing such kernel-level systems is extremely dangerous. In this episode of Malicious Life, we examine why.
A few weeks ago we had a listener’s meetup in New York, and as part of that meetup, I gave a talk in which I discussed how Malicious Life came to be - a story that goes back to my days as a ship's captain in the Israeli Navy - and then about how me and Nate craft the stories that you hear every other week. That last part, I hope, might also be beneficial to those of you, our listeners, who find themselves giving talks about technically complex ideas, cyber-related or not. The storytelling ideas and techniques I laid out in the talk are universal, and you’ll find them in blockbuster movies as well as podcast episodes.
