Have you ever wondered why you immediately gravitate towards some speakers and writers? How they form a connection with you and make you want to pay closer attention? Or why you react with disgust and revulsion to other kinds of communicators? What is it about strategic discourse that fosters and nurtures deep connections with some audiences while (intentionally or unintentionally) turning other kinds of people off right away? On today's re:blurb episode, we address these questions through a wide-ranging discussion of the classical rhetorical concept of ethos, one of the three classical appeals (along with logos and pathos). We begin by overviewing the origins of ethos in ancient Athenian courts of law, recounting debates between Plato and Aristotle about whether ethos is core to the corrupting (or liberating) influence of rhetoric in society. We then explain modern theories such as Kenneth Burke's identification and Michael J. Hyde and Calvin Schrag's notion of ethos as a “dwelling place” shared by speakers and audiences. Ultimately, we argue that the history of ethos theory is defined by attention to how credibility, trust, and persuasion are not accomplished unilaterally or unidirectionally, but rather occur in the dynamic, situated, dialogic interplay between communicators and their audiences. This particular understanding of ethos enlivens our sample analysis, which shows the concept's enduring utility as a critical tool. We introduce and critique the pro-Biden X account @BidensWins, which has been strategically constructing Biden's 2024 re-election campaign ethos. We describe how the posts' recurring language patterns constitute an identity grounded in “win”-quantification and newsworthiness, and how their hyper-patriotism and policy stances seem to be targeting specific voter constituencies for persuasion (while ignoring or disavowing others). We question both the pragmatic wisdom of this ethos strategy and the moral consequences of it for various core Democratic voter blocs that Biden will need in order to defeat Donald Trump. @BidensWins X Posts Analyzed:https://x.com/BidensWins/status/1802423240876331122https://x.com/BidensWins/status/1803251566356426859https://x.com/BidensWins/status/1803451317098074344https://x.com/BidensWins/status/1778407786302341419https://x.com/BidensWins/status/1797668724008489005https://x.com/BidensWins/status/1798060384487948536https://x.com/POTUS/status/1803176039603957883Works and Concepts Referenced in this EpisodeBaumlin, J.S.

Former Denver captain Scott DeVoss catches up with the program on our first edition of "Catching Up with Captains" 

“Because they're so territorial, it's hard to introduce a new cat regardless of where they came from into a new cat household.” This episode is sponsored in part by Doobert.com and Maddie's Fund. In this special episode, Stacy chats and co-hosts with Molly DeVoss, a Certified Feline Training and Behavior specialist, Certified Cat Behavior Consultant, and Fear Free Certified Trainer. Molly is also the founder of Cat Behavior Solutions and host of Cat Talk Radio, where she addresses cat behavioral issues. In Stacy and Molly's conversation, they discuss all things cats, including cat behavior, community cats, declawing, TNR and return-to-field programs, and the veterinary shortage. Molly highlights the importance of acclimating “working cats” (or barn cats) to their new environment and the engagement required to keep these cats safe. She also touches on distinguishing and identifying behavioral issues from medical issues that would require veterinary care.

Tommy DeVoss is a reformed black hat hacker who is now an ethical hacker. In this episode, Tommy joins host Hillarie McClure to discuss his origin story and what eventually landed him in prison, alongside some of his most notorious hacks, as well as what inspired him to get involved in bug bounty hunting, his work with HackerOne, and more. • For more on cybersecurity, visit us at https://cybersecurityventures.com/

We're joined again by the hacker's hacker, Tommy DeVoss, aka dawgyg. Bug bounty hunter and reformed black hat, Tommy dives back into a great conversation with us about his journey in hacking and his advice to future red team offensive hackers. We cover everything we couldn't get to from part 1 of our interview, including his struggles with burnout, his past hacking foreign countries on a bold quest to stop terrorism, and his future in Twitch streaming to teach you how to be a better bug bounty hunter.

Hacking has maintained Tommy's interest longer than anything else because of the constant changes in technology and the ever-evolving issues in the online world. However, just because hacking is his passion, doesn't mean that burnout or frustration never happens. Currently, Tommy is taking more of a break with hacking, letting his current day job and his passion for gaming have a front seat. However, he's still firmly in the industry, passionately developing learning opportunities for future hackers and answering questions from cyber professionals of all backgrounds. “I do get burned out sometimes…When it comes to bug bounty hunting, I try and make it so it averages out to where I make at least $1,000 an hour for my effort. It doesn't always work. Sometimes I'm more, sometimes I'm less, but I try and get it so it averages out to about that.”   What hacking advice would you give the younger version of yourself? Although his black hat ways resulted in prison time for Tommy, he doesn't regret his past and instead seeks to teach others the lessons he's learned. When we asked Tommy for advice for new hackers, he was clear that success is a longer journey than people assume it is. Tommy's success was not a fluke, it took years of hands-on learning and patience with failures in order to develop his bug bounty skills. Nothing is actually automatic or easy with hacking, especially as the technology continues to change and evolve. Tommy wants hackers to take every opportunity to try out their skills, even if it's a complete failure. “Don't expect success overnight. Also, don't let failure discourage you. When it comes to hacking, you're going to fail significantly more than you're going to succeed. And the people that are successful in bug bounties are the ones that don't let those failures discourage them.”   What do you think about the “media obsessed” stereotype many people have about black hat hackers? Wrapping up today, Tommy tells us that he'd be happy to be back in the Hacker Valley Studio again some time. Although the stereotype of a black hat hacker wanting attention from the media is disproven, Tommy believes that he definitely has craved that media attention for a large majority of his hacking career. Starting in the early 2000s, after 9/11, Tommy had one of his first brushes with fame in an interview with CNN about hacking Middle Eastern companies. Although his hacking and his politics have changed since then, Tommy enjoys having in-depth conversations about hacking and explaining the intricacies of what he does. “We loved the attention back then, and I still love the attention now, it's nice. The good thing about now is, because I already got in trouble for everything that I've done, I've done my prison time, I don't have anything that I did illegally on the computer anymore that I can't talk about, because I've already paid my debt to society.”   What are the best ways for people to keep up with what you're doing? Considering Tommy's success, it's understandable that a lot of cyber professionals and amateurs have tons of questions for him. When it comes to getting in contact with Tommy, he recommends tweeting him on Twitter publicly so that he can not only answer your question, but help others with the exact same questions. Education is key, and Tommy is so dedicated to teaching other hackers that he's currently developing a recurring Twitch stream centered around helping others learn about bug bounty hunting. “I don't know how successful we're going to be in finding the bugs, but I think it'll be fun to teach people [on Twitch] and do it that way, so that they can actually spend some time learning it. The best way to actually learn this stuff is to actually try and do the hacking.” ----------- Links: Stay in touch with Thomas DeVoss on LinkedIn and Twitter. Check out the Bug Bounty Hunter website.

We're joined by million-dollar hacker and bug bounty hunter, Thomas DeVoss, this week as we continue our season-long discussion of offensive cybersecurity legends. A legend in the making with a success story in bug bounty hunting that has to be heard to be believed, Tommy is an incredibly successful blach hat hacker-turned-bug bounty hunter, representing how misunderstood the hacking community can be and how positively impactful bug bounties can be. Who hacks the hackers? Look no further than Tommy DeVoss. Timecoded Guide: [02:59] Becoming interested in hacking for the first time  [08:26] Encountering unfriendly visits with the government and the FBI after his hacking skills progressed  [14:20] Seeking his first computer job after prison and leveraging his hacking skills [25:21] Discussing with Yahoo the possibility of working with them due to his successful bug boundaries [30:56] Giving honest advice to hackers looking to break into the bug bounty scene  Sponsor Links: Thank you to our sponsors Axonius and PlexTrac for bringing this season of HVR to life!

This bundle contains both our "Writing a Killer Penetration Test Report" and "Effective Purple Teaming" white papers in ONE awesome package. Head to PlexTrac.com/HackerValley to learn more about the platform and get your copy today! When did you get into hacking for the first time? At an early age, Thomas found his passion for hacking in an IRC chat room. Mentored by a man named Lewis and encouraged by fellow friends in the hacking world, popping shells and breaking into US systems using foreign IP addresses. Although Tommy became incredible at his craft from a young age, his early habits became serious black hat issues that ended up getting him in trouble with the US government. Just like the hacker in a big Hollywood blockbuster, the government caught up with Tommy and he faced 2 years in prison in his first sentence. “Instead of coming back to him and saying, "Hey, I'm done," I came back and I was actually asking him questions like, "Can you explain this?” And he saw that I was like, actually interested in this and I wasn't one of the people that was just expecting it to be handed to me and everything like that.”   After spending time in prison, were there barriers to getting involved in hacking again? After being in and out of prison a couple times, Tommy found the worst part of coming home to be his ban from touching any sort of device with internet access. Despite it being a part of his probation, his passion for tech continued to bring him back to computers and gaming. After his final stint in prison after being falsely suspected of returning to his black hat ways, the FBI lifted Tommy's indefinite ban on computer usage and immediately renewed his passion for working in tech. “They had banned me indefinitely from touching a computer. So, when I came home on probation the first time, they upheld that and I still wasn't allowed to touch computers as part of my probation. For the first month or so, I didn't get on a computer when I came home from prison, but then it didn't take long before I got bored.”   How did your cyber career pivot to bug bounty hunting? With prison behind him and his ban on computers lifted, Tommy got a job working for a family friend in Richmond, Virginia for a modest salary of $30,000. Although this amount felt like a lot at the time, he quickly realized that there was money to be made in bug bounties. His first few experiments in attempting bug bounty programs had him earning $20,000 or $30,000 for hours of work, a huge increase from the salary he was currently making. Encountering success after success, Thomas quit his job in 2017 to become a full-time bug bounty hunter. “The first bug bounty program that jumped out at me was Yahoo. I had started hacking Yahoo in the mid 90s, I knew their systems in the 90s and early 2000s better than a lot of their system admins and stuff. And I figured, if there's any company that I should start out with, it should be them.”   What success have you seen since becoming a bug bounty hunter, especially with major corporations like Yahoo? Thomas has become a huge earner in the cybersecurity community, and has continued to see incredible results from his hacking and bug bounty projects. Most notably, after numerous high earning days, making up to $130K at once, with companies like Yahoo, he's even been offered positions working with corporations he's bug bountied for. However, Tommy is quick to point out that his success was definitely not overnight, and warns fellow hackers of getting too confident in their bug bounty abilities without the proper skill sets or amount of experience under their belts. “I think at this point, I've had days where I've made six-digit income in that single day, at least six or seven times. And it's almost always been from Yahoo.” ----------- Links:  Stay in touch with Thomas DeVoss on LinkedIn and Twitter. Check out the Bug Bounty Hunter website.

We've had out beloved cats, Wilma and Peanut, for over three years now. Entering a new year seemed like a good time to offer up this interview with someone who helped us a great deal when we first brought these adorable adult cats into our home. - Mark This week's interview sheds light on an animal many of us share our lives with and many others consider mysterious: the cat. Having recently adopted a new one named Wilma who came from a hoarder situation, I found myself in need of help and was fortunate enough to be put in touch with Molly DeVoss.

Since our last re:verb episode, the US House and Senate certified Joe Biden's Electoral College victory, paving the way for Biden's inauguration -- but not before a large crowd of disgruntled Trump supporters descended on the US Capitol building, in a violent conflict that left five people dead and many wounded. Days later, President Trump's Twitter account had been banned and he was impeached by the House, making him history's first multiply-deplatformed, multiply-impeached president.On today's show, Calvin, Alex, and Sophie react to the events of January 6th and their aftermath. We debate to what extent it is accurate and politically useful to call the 1/6 violence a “coup” or an act of “terrorism,” as well as whether our choices of modifiers to describe the event (such as “right-wing”, “GOP”, and/or “fascist”) are even more important. We also consider the apparent hamfistedness of the attackers' planning and goofiness of their presentation, and how these elements relate to the long legacy of white supremacist rhetoric in the US. Lastly, we discuss Twitter's decision to apply its term of service prohibiting “Glorification of Violence” to President Trump's account, ostensibly banning him from the platform for life. Is this an issue of free speech, propaganda, tech-sector labor organizing, hypermediated capitalism, or some combination of all of these? What exactly was the role of social media in the violence that occurred on Jan 6? And if, as seems to be the case, the Internet is undeniably bad now, what broad policy approaches might make it even marginally less bad?Works and Concepts Cited in this EpisodeBrown, J. (2015).

By Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin What is a bug bounty? What is a bug bounty hunter? What the heck does that have to do with hunting ghosts? These questions beg the bigger question — “Who ya gonna call?” Well, if you are worried about a haunted house, you probably already know the answer to that question. However, if you are building or using software to run your business and—as you shoul be—are worried about its security, then you should figure out, ASAP, who you can call for the job. No joking here. In the world of information security, there are many possible answers to this question—but today, we are going to focus on one of them: bug bounty hunters. To help us understand what the role of a bug bounty hunter is—what does it take to do this kind of work—and why these ethical hackers do what they do—we are joined by two such hunters: Tommy DeVoss and Ben Sadeghipour. We cover a ton during this conversation, and we have loads of fun and laughs along the way. You don’t want to miss this chat. Have a listen now before it disappears. _________ To learn more about The Academy column sponsorship options, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships To see and hear more The Academy content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/the-academy-column-infosec-and-cybersecurity-education

After speaking and emailing with Molly about our new cat’s issues and how to resolve them, I had the pleasure of interviewing her. She’s as knowledgeable and generous with her time and expertise as she is kind and outgoing, and I know listeners will get as much from this chat with Molly as I did. Molly is a CFTBS (Certified Feline Training and Behavior specialist) who has rescued and fostered hundreds of kittens and cats over the years. She rehabilitated a paralyzed cat to full recovery in just eight weeks and continues to rehabs many amputee cats and underage kittens. She has volunteered well over 3600 hours with Dallas Animal Services, dedicated to saving felines.​

This week on The Authentic Woman, Guest Host Susan Singer interviews a gifted, talented, self-taught photographer and storyteller, Sylvia DeVoss. Sylvia began life as a Jehovah’s Witness, was kicked out for heresy at age 13, went off the deep end, married, had a child, divorced, spent five months in a mental institution due to a case of mistaken identity, loved women, realized she was gay (yes, in that order), then slowly began her climb back to sanity with the help of friends, art, and her tremendous courage. Sylvia has battled depression that threatened to consume her, but she is now on the other side and celebrating each day. Her artwork conveys her intense love of music, her twin granddaughters, and nature. Her storytelling is the most natural thing about her; it is impossible to talk to Sylvia without getting wound into one of her stories about her fascinating life. This show will take you into the mind of this remarkable woman. Susan Singer is a rabble-rousing artist, activist, writer, and teacher whose primary desire is to make the world a better place by ending violence against women, helping people find their personal path, creating beauty, and spreading creativity. She uses her artwork to reach deep within herself to find her core and to channel her vision of Spirit to inspire, delight, (and perhaps sometimes provoke!) others. The Authentic Woman with Shannon Fisher explores personal, political, and societal perspectives of the female experience in America. The show delves deeply into the worlds of women writers, artists, celebrities, and community leaders and offers listeners food for thought on ways to better themselves and the world around them.
