This week, I sit down with Anuj Soni, reverse engineer, cybersecurity expert, YouTube creator, and founder of The Malware Lab at Breakpoint Cybersecurity. We talk about how malware actually works, the difference between viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware, and phishing, and what really happens when systems get hit. Anuj also breaks down why reverse engineering is one of the most powerful tools in modern defense.

You’ll learn how to spot red flags of an infected device, understand major malware types in plain English, see how phishing turns into real compromise, and why reverse engineering powers better threat intel and products. There’s also a career patch on proving your skills without “required experience.”

In the lifestyle segment, Anuj walks us through the reverse engineer’s uniform, from WFH 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.
