My guest this episode is social engineering guru Joe Gray. Joe is a Senior Security Architect at IBM and has his own blog and podcast called Advanced Persistent Security. Joe presented a talk at RSA this year with friend of the show Rachel Tobac on social engineering and OSINT which I posted the full audio of here. Joe spoke with me about Social Engineering, OSINT, vishing, SECTFs, password inspections and more!
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!
As the glory of 2016 rolls to an end, I plan to empty my archive of some unreleased recordings which never made it on to any podcasts over the past year.
Rob Graham
I’m starting with this recording from the RSA Conference earlier this year in San Francisco, CA. It features Jen Ellis of Rapid7 moderating a “Security Thunderdome” debate between Rob Graham (Errata Security) and Josh Corman (Atlantic Council). It’s basically a debate about debating. A very spirited breakdown of the anatomy of a debate with a focus on cyber security.
The audio quality isn’t the best, but good enough to follow along. If you listen closely you’ll hear me ask a question from the audience toward the end. Big thanks to RSA, Jen, Rob, and Josh for allowing me to record the session. I hope this “Thunderdome Debate” format will return next year to RSA and possibly expand to at least another hour. Enjoy!
