  • What is the internet of things?
    Ed (@EdgarR0jas) has recently switched roles. In that role he's researching the internet of things. The internet of things is everywhere and it's starting to become an issue for the security community. From baby monitors to IP cameras to fridges, everything in the home is becoming connected. The issue comes in with the security being embedded in these device. There isn't any and it's allowing malicious people to create massive bot armies for distributed denial of services (DDoS). It's a tough problem to solve. Luckily, Ed is on the case.

  • What is BSides Nashville?
    BSides Nashville (@bsidesnash) is the second BSides I attended and the only one I've attend each year since it's inception. It's a really well put together conference. They have three tracks. They have the usual side areas with lock picking, hardware hacking, and a kids area. The best part though is the lunch. They cater lunch from Martin's BBQ. One of Nashville's best BBQ places. I would put the food up against any conference. I join Jen (@jsmardak) and Finn (@FinnBreland) to talk about all that and much more.

  • What is it like to work in a security operations center (SOC)?
    Jeff is a good friend of mine and one that I leaned on heavily when I was working in a SOC. He's been a IT Security Analyst for a while now and loves what he does. We've spent countless hours discuss SOC life. We've talked about nuances and some of the things he sees on a regular basis monitoring a college campus. I decided it would make for an interesting podcast episode.

  • How to secure Docker
    Rory (@raesene) gave a talk over the summer at BSides London 2016 on the myths of Docker. Docker is a technology being used by more and more development teams. We're even starting to see security tools run on Docker, such as OWASP ZAP. With more teams using Docker we need to have an understanding of how to secure it.

  • What is BSides Indy?
    Frank (@TheDevilsVoice) is the lead organizer of BSides Indy (@indybsides). I am excited to be traveling to the conference this year. I will be taking pictures and speaking at the event. I decided to have Frank on to talk about BSides Indy to gauge what type of BSides event I can expect. The theme I got from my chat with Frank is that it's a very laid back type of BSides with a lot of the usual events. They have some wonderful speakers. A lock pick village and a place for hacking Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Hack4Kidz for the little ones and a devious capture the flag (CTF) event. I am excited to go. Tickets are still available. General Admission is $15 for Saturday. Hack Harder (Friday workshops) and the Saturday talks are $30. If you're a student or broke tickets are free. See you there!

  • What is DefectDojo?
    Greg (@_GRRegg) is one of three project leads for the OWASP project DefectDojo. The project is an appsec automation and vulnerability management tool. This is something I wish was around when I first started managing vulnerabilities for the development team. It has got a lot of great features including metrics, integration with JIRA, automatic ticket creation, vulnerability de-duping, and of course it allows appsec teams to manage vulnerabilities in development. A demo site is available. It's open-source (as all OWASP projects are). I would recommend anyone having to manage vulnerabilities check this project out.

  • What is decentralized IT? - Part 2
