  • Special Episode - EliteCast Episode 1
    Episode Notes

    Here's the first episode of my new podcast, EliteCast! This is intended to be a less technical podcast aimed at business leaders and decision-makers to help explain the importance of information security (or cybersecurity as it's normally called by the target audience). I'm a bit rusty, but I'll get there. Apparently, a 9-month hiatus does that to a man.

    I hope you enjoy it and you choose to subscribe. It should be live on the usual podcast sites, but if you want the RSS link, check out:

    Thanks, and take care!

    • Episode 71 - A Casual Conversation with The Cyber Mentor

      Heath "The Cyber Mentor" Adams stops by to have a nice casual chat about how he got into infosec, what he's currently working on, and how he's giving back to the community in a rather novel way. Definitely someone I respect as a great up-and-comer in the industry, this was a fantastic discussion for sure.

                          Adrian Cheek stops by the show this week to have a nice fireside chat with me. We talk about passive DNS, which Adrian first introduced to me a few years ago, and then move on to threat hunting. Adrian has a very interesting history and it was a joy to speak with him.

                              I'm trying a slightly different format for the next few episodes, and I'd appreciate any feedback you may have.

                              In this episode I sit down with The Gibson, mayor of hackers.town, to talk about a variety of things from the Fediverse, working with the under-serviced SMB market, old school technologies, and the Infosec community as a whole. We're all over the place, but it's a good thing. Just a nice casual conversation talking about things that interest us.

                                        Oh what I treat I have for you today! John Strand, former SANS instructor, long time co-host on Enterprise Security Weekly, Founder of Black Hills Information Security, and a whole lot more has taken time out of his busy schedule to stop by and talk about Backdoors & Breaches, the new IR card game from BHIS. Naturally we talk about more than just the game, but it was all as amazing as I had hoped. I trust you will enjoy listening to this one about as much as I enjoyed recording it.
