Chris Domas in his TED Talk explain how does he fetching the information he needs from a device. As we all know that our computer only recognizes two things, 1 and 0, on and off, which is binary codes. A huge series of 1 and 0 construct the softwares and digital information as we see today. Therefore to find some very specific data inside a sea of 1 and 0 is not the easiest thing to do and it would take enormous amount of time just to search one single word.
So he came up whit this idea of visualise the binary information in to a picture (more or less), and from that piece of picture he could tell what short of information that series of binary codes may containt, it is not perfect yet but it has save him a lot of time for his cyber-security job.
This particular way is quite different from what I have imagine the cyber-security looks like, even I have no idea of how ordinary data fetching looks like when people talking about stealing data through internet, but I would have imagined it was done in the way of not so dissimilar to how we operating our computer, not exactly the same of course. But I thought there will be some sort of interface to work with and not just a huge load of 1 and 0.
I thought, at least, it would look like the picture above, to have some languages we understand and not like this
