Episode 21 – The Myth of the Purple Teamer with Haydn Johnson Feb 25, 2018

Show notes

I love purple teams. Purple teaming is something that I was hoping to share with more people and more organizations! It's part of the reason I named this podcast after them. So why don't I think that a purple teamer exists? It's an interesting stance, but it's one that makes sense. Joining me this week is Haydn "Doctor Purple" Johnson to discuss all things purple.

Episode 20 – Physical Penetration Testing with Jek Hyde Feb 18, 2018

Show notes

Not all penetration testing is done in a virtual setting or even through a phone call. Sometimes you need to get down and dirty and actually interact with people. In this very special episode I sit down and speak with the great Jek Hyde about physical penetration testing and everything that it entitles. It's a fascinating talk for sure, and one you don't want to miss. Some links of interest:

Episode 19 – Speaking to Executives with Tracy Maleeff Feb 11, 2018

Show notes

Have you heard the term, managing up? It's and old expression used when you need to make sure that your boss has his or her expectations met so that you can focus on your own job. Information security is really no different, and in a lot of ways it's also more important to get right. We are an industry of social introverts and generally prefer the warm embrace of an IRC screen, Twitter feed or Slack channel for our communications. It's taken me many years to get comfortable with speaking with other humans, but more than that I have learned there is a certain technique when speaking with executes - a special breed so to speak - about security. Tracy Maleeff, the InfoSecSherpa, joins me to help guide us all on proper techniques to communicate with senior leadership. Some links of interest:

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) has long been known to be the source of cloud security discussions.

Episode 15 – Infosec Tabletop D&D with Brakeing Down Security Dec 24, 2017

Show notes

The first of a series, I sit down with Bryan and Brian of Brakeing Down Security fame to have a fun take on a classic tabletop scenario with a D&D feel. Please hold the hate, I haven't played D&D in many years and I know it's not "classic", but it's fun and lighthearted. We go through a few different scenarios with you all in the hopes you find it enjoyable, entertaining, and educational. If you enjoyed this episode, please let me know! I'd like to make this a recurring theme every 12-15 episodes with different podcasters if there's enough interest. Special shout out to @badthingsdaily on Twitter for helping provide the scenarios!

Episode 013 – OWASP Top 10 2017 – A1 Through A5 Dec 03, 2017

Show notes

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) group has created a Top 10 web applications vulnerability list since 2003. Normally the list gets updated every 3 years or so, with the previous release being 2013. Now with the 2017 list being finalized, I felt it was appropriate for us to go through it and look at it from a red and blue team perspective. This episode will cover the first 5 items on the list, from A1 (Injection) through to A5 (Broken Access Control). Some links of interest:
