PODCAST: Physical Pen-testing with Jek Hyde

Guest Jek Hyde of Sincerely Security with prosthetic “baby bump.”

My guest this episode is “Jek” a social engineer/pen-tester who recently live tweeted a real world penetration test in which her team successfully breached a client’s corporate offices and networks. We talk about how she got into social engineering and information security. It was fun to learn about her experiences and pick up a few tips and tricks as I prepare for the Social Engineering Capture The Flag competition at DEFCON next week!

PODCAST: DEFCON 24

This episode is dedicated to my experience attending the infamous hacker conference known as DEFCON in Las Vegas. DEFCON 24 flew by way too fast, but I managed to interview several attendees.

Jake Kouns CISO of Risk Based Security speaks about attribution.

Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai of Motherboard talked about the DNC hack.

MGT CTO Eijah talks about Demon Saw and working with John McAfee.

John McAfee (recently named CEO of MGT) discusses his new cyber security firm.

Rachel Tobac takes 2nd place in Social Engineering Capture the Flag competition.

DEFCON luminary Ryan “1o57” Clarke (pronounced “Lost”) spoke with me about the badge challenge which he helms each year. In the video above 1o57 shows off one of the custom made “Uber Badges” awarded to winners of several contests at DEFCON 24.

My DEFCON 24 badge, which I was convinced was emitting a RF signal. Possibly communicating with our benevolent robot overlords? Alas, no RF detected.

DEFCON 24: Jake Kouns

“Cyber. Who Done It? Attribution Analysis Through Arrest History.”

Jake Kouns CISO of Risk Based Security speaks with Vince at DEFCON 24 in Las Vegas prior to his talk “Cyber. Who Done It?! Attribution Analysis Through Arrest History.” He uses research and analysis of arrest data to profile cyber criminals. Jake discusses attribution in cyber crimes and cyber espionage, the Sony Pictures hack, North Korea, DNC leaks, Crowdstrike, his Attribution Bingo Card and more.

Jake’s DEFCON talk was fun and rapid fire. He delved into his project with partner Lee Johnstone called Arrest Tracker which is a database used to profile cyber crime. Jake had 140 slides and he kept the pace quick. He did give ample props to Threat Butt and other online critics/satirists who represent the disenfranchised and attribution skeptics within the online security industry.
