This just might be a new monthly segment - what have we seen on the internet this week that made us go hmmm.. that might not be a good idea. Technically, we could do that for a few hours every week and still not run out of content, but we won't continue to bore you (too much).

Couldn't get enough with Q&A Part 1? Well, you're in luck. Logan and Ally are back for Part 2, this time it's a little more therapy session, but just as much laughter. We're digging into who inspires us, "low-tech" ways to be secure, must have purchases for under $100, marketing skill sets, and the question everyone has been dying to ask Logan - how did he build an army of mongooses?!

This week Logan and Ally take part one in social engineering. What is social engineering you might ask? Social engineering targets people, instead of a physical computer, and relies on individuals or groups of people breaking security procedures, policies, and rules. It can be done physically, or electronically. A good social engineer will find and exploit human weaknesses and behaviors to accomplish their goals. The most important thing to remember is that it can be done in person, over the phone, via text message or email, or any method where you can engage with your target. It requires a good understanding of human behavior and human weaknesses. The goal is to persuade your target to provide information or access that would allow you to succeed in your goals. It highlights a few key methods:TrustReciprocationAuthorityUrgencyFearLikenessSocial ProofScarcityHelpful NatureStay tuned next week for Part 2!

This week Logan and Ally talk about mindset and what it means to overcome adversity, and why it's so important to find your strength points and work through your weaknesses. Every day is an assessment; we're so used to sitting down once every three years, or six years for our "assessment" when we really should be thinking about being assessed every day in whatever we're doing. We discuss whether intellectual thought is dying, and how we find inspiration through reading and literature, using growth and analysis to key in on our internal biases. When will we begin celebrating the academics instead of just sports? Music: Xenon Sentry by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com Please don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe.

What do you think of when you hear the terms "sources say" or "trends point to" or "this story is presented with information available at the time of...."? You would think someone should have done their research and what you're about to read is factual. Well, that's not always the case. This week Logan and Ally dive into misinformation and disinformation, two terms we've been hearing more and more of in the last few years. Well, what are they and what are the differences between the two? Music: Xenon Sentry by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com Please don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe.

Being a Rogue isn't always a black tie affair. Often time's it is a daily grind to make ourselves better, something we never stop working on. Ever wondered what we think the top skills are for being a Rogue? What makes us harder to kill? What makes us stronger? Smarter? What makes us more likely to not just survive, but thrive in any situation from a job interview to the apocalypse? It's not always about being the best door kicker, because if it has to get physical, something has most likely gone wrong.

Last week Logan and Ally talked about Hacking Humans, this week, we're back to the cyber world. Looking back on the last decade there are no shortage of cyber incidents. We'll spend some time talking about some of the big ones that have made the biggest impact on society today. Compromises: OPM, Yahoo, Equifax Stuxnet DNC Shadow Brokers The Hague What about cars? I think most of us have probably heard about Jeeps getting hacked. But I've also seen/heard of some other tools out there that will hack almost any vehicle out there from 2007 on. Or medical supplies? In 2019, the FDA came out with concerns over internet-connected insulin pumps being vulnerable to hacking.

Today Logan and Ally are talking about Hacking Humans. The phrase has been used a lot more lately, but what does it mean? How does it relate to social engineering and why does it seem to have such a negative connotation?Who - Everyone since the dawn of time What - Social Engineering, the use of deception to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential or personal information that may be used for fraudulent purposes. When - All the time.Why - For assorted reasons from social standing to nefarious acts of espionage.How - MICE, RASCLSFrank Abagnale Jr.Motivations - MICE vs RASCLSMICE:MoneyIdeologyCoercion or CompromiseEgo or ExcitementRASCLS:ReciprocationAuthorityScarcityCommitment and ConsistencyLikingSocial ProofWhat is the ROGUE way?RecognizeOrientGaugeUnderstandExecuteWhat do people ultimately want?

Episode 003Today Logan and Ally talk about the recent happenings, or whatever you want to call them, in North Korea. Is Kim Jong Un dead or alive? Well, the sources are inconsistent. We're seeing a lot of single source with no verification and a long history of Korean conflict - what message is being portrayed in the media? Does it actually make sense? Let's take a second to self-assess what is going on. There is a lot of history, like how we pushed North Korea to China, nuclear weapons, etc. What other players are present in this game? What benefit would it give them to sow some disinformation (cough Russia cough)? Can we trace the line forward? What about Zoom? What do you think when you hear the headline "Dropbox Has Been Paying Hackers to Prove Zoom Security Issues Since 2018"? It's not what you would think. Occam's Razor What do you see and what do you know? Single source failure - Who said it? If you cant isolate the source can you verify the information? Does it pass the sniff test? - Take off your lens and see if you can still make the logical leap for rationality. Does it make sense? - What's the motivation for the action? Awareness tips - verbal chess - it’s a back and forth understanding not a solid decision. Interactions are +|- in all times Mentor -“Be confident, be professional, and don’t make mistakes.” “Follow the question to its end” - for Logan this has evolved to follow the question to its beginning as well. Rogue Sliding Camera Cover We mention the book LikeWar, a great read for anyone interested in how social media has influenced society. LikeWar: The Weaponization of Social Media We recorded with the Fit to Fight podcast yesterday, find them on Spotify. The beaten path is for beaten people.

**Episode 002 Notes**Secure your passwords - use long, complex passwords (like Isawtheelephantdrivingdownthestreet) - it's something completely random, long and complex, but easy to remember. Get a password manager - do you research to know which one works best for your situation but options like LastPass or Dashlane. Enable two-factor authentication for any account that supports it Authenticator is a good app that you can use to generate your two-factor that is supported by GitHub and Facebook for example Anti-virus like McAfee Turn your built-in Firewall on Change your SSID and make sure you have a strong password for your WiFi. Make sure you keep everything patched and updated Use a secure messaging app - Signal, Wire, etc. Be mindful of the apps you install Don't click links in emails, text messages, social media Think about encrypting your laptop/computer Windows - Bitlocker Apple - FileVault Use a VPN - Proton, Nord, PIASecure Email - ProtonmailUse your phone's data instead of a public WiFi network

Logan and Ally discuss how social platforms such as Zoom both bring us together and the dangers that go with it.
