Purple Squad Security

Chris Foulon stops by for a fireside chat to talk about breaking into Infosec.  For those unfamiliar with the fireside chat series, this is where we come in with a topic but no other real agenda.  It's a casual conversation where I just have a casual conversation with my guest, similar to what would happen in hallway con.  I hope you enjoy!

What is a red team?  How does it differ from a penetration tester's day-to-day?  How do red teams stay sharp?  How do they stay motivated?  These are a few of the questions I seek to have answered by Curtis Brazzell, a managing Security Consultant at Pondurance.  It's a great interview and sheds light on the difference between red teaming and penetration testing.

Continuing our storytime theme for the holidays, on this week's show we have a special guest, Jayson E. Street!  For those who follow Jayson online, his hacker adventures bring him to all sorts of interesting places.  Jayson shares a story of one of those places, in which he robs the wrong bank.  Some of you may know this story, but he also provides us with an epilogue to this story that few have heard!  Thanks Jayson!

Hey everyone, this is a re-release of episode 45 with Tinker, but this one is WITHOUT the background music.  I hope this makes up for the snafu in an otherwise great interview!

Happy December everyone!  Whatever holiday you may be celebrating this season, may it be enjoyable.  I've decided for the month of December to treat myself, by having a bunch of people I hold in high regard to join me in sharing of their tales, similar to the fireside chats I've had in the past.  We have no set agenda, we have no set time, but we do plan on sharing some fun stories that hopefully you will enjoy. So consider this a holiday gift my dear listener, and I hope you find it as enjoyable as I do.

This episode we are going to have a man whom I honestly believe should write as many books as possible, and provide audiobook versions as well, the one and only Tinker!

So, a very popular season is coming up shortly.  I'm not talking about Thanksgiving (for my US listeners) and I'm not talking about Christmas for my Christian listeners.  No, I'm talking about the season that all good little hackers look forward to - the time when the SANS Holiday Hack Challenge is released!

This is probably one of the most ambitious CTFs I have ever known about, and I am lucky enough to get one of the main drivers behind it to join me for today's episode!  Ed Skoudis joins me to talk all about the SANS Holiday Hack Challenge, what it is, what goes into it, and why you should give it a try.

Vulnerability disclosure is one of those things that either brings a smile or a scowl to your face, depending on what end of the disclosure you're on.  For some, it's a thing of pride, and hopefully a monetary reward!  For others, it's a punch to the gut, fear inducing, "Oh crap!" moment because someone has shown you a flaw you weren't aware of.

But what if the disclosure isn't actually a valid vulnerability? That's the topic for this episode discussion, and thankfully I have someone who knows about exactly that!  Tanya Janca joins me to discuss when a vulnerability is not a vulnerability!

Defending is hard.  The adage of "an attacker only has to be right once" is a bit played out, but it does have a hint of truth in that trying to defend everything is a monumental task.  Defenders are often short on budgets, short on time, and short on patience for silly sayings like these.

This week I'm happy to have Patrick Kelley on to talk about some very interesting work he has done on coming up with defensive techniques for freight trains using a Raspberry Pi!  If you want to hear about unique ways to defend unique environments, you will not want to miss this episode.
