In today's episode, we discuss a classic true story of Cold War espionage, The Cuckoo's Egg by Cliff Stoll, and my opportunity to meet Cliff back in mid-2022. In the closing years of the Cold War, this eccentric astronomer-turned-system administrator managed to track a KGB hacker through his university's supercomputer, and basically invented digital forensics in the process. The story itself, and my opportunity to meet him, are both worth chatting about, so that's what we did.
