Out-of-Bounds Read, the CWE/CAPEC Program Podcast!

In this episode, we chat with Pietro Braione of Università degli Studi di Milano - Bicocca about how he uses CWE and CAPEC to help in college-level classes to teach cybersecurity. How the taxonomy can help teach the breath of issues for software development is also discussed.

In this episode, we talk with Cisco’s Tim Wadhwa-Brown, Security Research and Offensive Security for Professional Services in Europe and Jared Pendleton, Advanced Security Initiatives Group on about Cisco using CWE in for finding and fixing vulnerabilities. They find it useful to help categorize the types of vulnerabilities to help determine the root cause of possible future vulnerabilities. 

This episode invites Larry Cashdollar to talk about the types of weaknesses in the many CVEs he has found and how the frequency of these weaknesses have changed. We focus on weakness that are not just buffer overflows.
