USB our Guest Flash Briefing

Zoogs Deux! Zoogs has been busy this past year. Graduating university, new job, still trash (his words) and 2 cats. We have a great candid conversation about Certs, the Tech job market, the Voldemort of Text editors, comfort zones and our favorite Arizona Tall boy flavors. https://www.twitch.tv/b7h30https://www.youtube.com/@theo6580

Hello and welcome back to USB our Guest, Cyber Security tips. I'm Theo, here to help you break down cyber security news and hacks and how they affect you. However, today I am interviewing Anyaacii a Linux in HPC Administrator. We recorded the interview in an open discord voice channel with video while monitoring chat with Text-to-speech developed by Security_Live. Anya was kind enough to go through my questions in advance and answer them at length. https://github.com/theo2612/NewObsidian/blob/main/Podcast/USB%20our%20guest/Ep%2046%20-%20ANYAscii.md A collab 3 years in the making! Anyascii and my schedule line up to finally sit down and chat. I've been a fan of Anya for long time, ever since we learned that we both cut our teeth on linux at the same time on the same learning platform! I'm a huge fan of her learning on stream style.

Today I am interviewing Tegora, an L3 System Administrator & Senior Technical Leader with technical responsibilities for Networking/Linux/HPC. We recorded the interview in an open discord voice channel with video while monitoring chat with Text-to-speech developed by Security_Live. While this time I had his volume level closer to mine, the music wasn't low enough in some parts. I make sure it is lower on future recordings Tegora became fascinated with computers at an early age, funded his education enlisting in the Army, pursued and obtained multiple degrees, taught and then pivoting into a career in IT. He has an excellent point of view regarding work effort, stepping out of your comfort zone and shares excellent tips on getting started on your path and interviewing.

Hello and welcome back to USB our Guest, Cyber Security tips. I'm Theo, here to help you break down cyber security news and hacks and how they affect you. However, today I am interviewing Zoogs. He has been in the industry for a bit now and I wanted to pick his brain on a variety of topics. We decided to record this live on twitch with chat using text to speech, while in Minecraft and recording audio in discord. So If you want to watch the VOD it is available on twitch or YouTube. We talk about his prior experience, current role, their expectations and what it took for him to get into that role. We also talk about Certificates, different learning techniques, the importance of stepping outside of your comfort zone, and advice that he wish he knew when he started on his path in cybersecurity. I include some sleeper questions that really don't have anything to do with cyber security And zoogs triggers himself @ 44:45!! https://linktr.ee/b7h30 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/usbog/message

In this video Episode of USB our Guest, I Phish myself Repeatedly. Today I wanted to do something a little different and something I've wanted to do for a while. I'm getting phished, repeatedly. I'm going to show you multiple legitimate login screens next to spoofed login screens that actually steal credentials. We're gonna talk about when and where the attack happens, where the username and password gets pulled and how to avoid. I want to send a special thank you to Casper0x413 for all the hard work they put in on PhishNet. I still can't get over how legit the phishing login screens look. Thank you Saint!
