The Security Engineering Show

A pentester navigated from basic internal network access to achieving full Domain Controller (DC) compromise and ultimately SCADA system control, revealing vulnerabilities that could have led to a hazardous chlorine release into a city's water supply. Episode 5 of The Security Engineering Show offers invaluable insights into modern offensive security and real-world breaches.

This is the show for security engineers, by security engineers.

Delve into the nitty-gritty of a company's two run-ins with the Lazarus Group. The first time, to clean up the mess they left behind, and the second, to stop them in their tracks after getting a telltale alert from the SEIM.

This story is about a security engineer who hijacked the most important web page on the internet as part of a capture the flag challenge. While I can't tell you which exact page or company this happened at, you definitely know it and most likely use it every day in your business and personal life.

"Oh the places you'll find malware" brings surprising stories of infections and security incidents. Michael Grube, formerly a security engineer at SpaceX and now a vulnerability researcher at an employer we won't disclose, tells the stories about how he found malware in a Hadoop cluster, on a water jet machine (bought straight from the manufacturer), and in an Active Directory environment. We talk about the tricks that threat actors used to cover their tracks and how they were exposed.
