7 Minute Security

So yeah, this is kind of off-topic, but have you thought about security in the sense of "What kinds of security things should I be doing before I'm dead?" Today's episode explores that.

Sometimes I get in situations where clients want their WHOLE security program reviewed, but in reality, they are still in the baby steps phase. What's the right thing to do when, for lack of a better term, the client isn't ready to put on their security big boy points?

Today's episode is about Umbrella, a product from OpenDNS that provides a layer of protection against malware, wifi-jacking and other threats.

We're going offtopic today and talking about the Citizen Four documentary, which centers around the Edward Snowden story.

Today we're talking about a new (to me) Web site/app scanning tool called AppSpider by Rapid7. Again, this isn't a commercial or paid advertisement. I just like sharing things that I like and use.

This episode's about a cool security app called GlassWire, which is (kind of) a firewall on steroids. I love it! Oh, and this is not an endorsement or a commercial :-)

Today I talk about challenge I run into when I'm delivering to a mixed audience of C-level folks and IT people. How do you keep things high level enough so everybody "gets it" but also go level enough that the recommendations have some teeth?

This episode concludes the gripping, thrilling, exciting, awesome-ing, death-defying, unsettling, rattling series on OSWP (Offensive Security Wireless Professional). Specifically, I talk (as much as I can without getting into trouble) about the exam and give you some pointers to pass it!

Need an easy way to create a modular/mobile kit of pentest tools to take with you from machine to machine? And ALSO be able to update all those modules in one command? Then check out the PTF! That's what we're talkin' about on today's podcast.

Hey have you heard of Pwn Pads? They're an awesome network pentesting tool that leverages a Nexus tablet - which you can either buy right from Pwnie Express, or create your own if you have a certain model of Nexus lying around. I just happened to have the right Nexus model around, so this podcast episode chronicles my trial and error (mostly error) in making a DIY Pwn Pad! P.S. to get the Android tools installed on Ubuntu 14.04, run these commands: -- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot --

in this episode I talk about my first hands-on experience with a Wifi Pineapple, and why you'll probably want one too.

The OSWP series is coming to a close. One final episode today and then the four-quel episode will be all about the test!

A continuation of our thrilling, exciting, mind-blowing series on OSWP (Offensive Security Wireless Professional)!

This episode kicks off a multi-part series all about the OSWP (Offensive Security Wireless Professional) certification.

In episode #79 I shared some gripes about Nessus. Those gripes were quickly answered by Tenable staff/support so I wanted to pass relevant updates on to you!

In this episode I talk about one of my favorite vulnerability scanners, Nessus, and why I want to simultaneously hug it and punch it in the neck.

In this episode I advocate for proper network segmentation, as doing it (well and right!) can seriously reduce your risks!

This week i used my Wifi Pineapple to scare and amuse my coworkers and lure them into a Rickroll trap. All the gory details in today's episode!

I know this is a bit late, but I wanted to talk a little about the LastPass breach and why I'll still remain a customer.

I wanted to share (what I think is) an amusing anecdote about my son's first piano recital, which was topped off by a kid playing the song "Lucky." Many LOLs commenced for me.
