Those on the red team may not be household names to the everyday person, but they are absolute legends and icons in the world of cybersecurity and hacking. While we have our personal favorite hackers between the two of us, we also invite our guest, Davin Jackson, to share his favorite cybersecurity legends and the lessons he's learned from them. Timecode Guide: [00:50] The importance of red teaming, especially during this season [02:17] Ron and Chris' first experience working in a red team environment [11:23] Communication and collaboration between blue and red [16:53] Knowledge gained from Davin Jackson's humble beginnings in tech [22:19] Gaining the blue perspective with Hacker Valley Blue   Thank you to our sponsors Axonius and PlexTrac for bringing this season of HVR to life! Life is complex. But it's not about avoiding challenges or fearing failure. Just ask Simone Biles — the greatest gymnast of all time. Want to learn more about how Simone controls complexity? Watch her video at axonius.com/simone PlexTrac, the proactive cybersecurity management platform, brings red and blue teams together for better collaboration and communication. Check them out at plextrac.com/hackervalley Legends, Icons, Teachers, and Friends From Marcus Carey to Johnny Long, we're excited to share the legends that had an early influence and lasting impact on our careers in cybersecurity. While our two backgrounds in red teaming are different, we can attribute so much of our success and our ability to share our knowledge with all of you to the experts that were willing to invite us to join and learn the best hacking techniques alongside them. “I think that's the most important thing in red teaming, it's passing that knowledge on to someone else.” - Chris Cochran   Communication, collaboration, and community instead of red vs blue It is not two teams with two separate fights when we're talking about red teams and blue teams. Often, when cybersecurity is too focused on this split between offensive and defensive, we forget to collaborate and fall short of improving on issues we discovered. Communication between red and blue can be a costly struggle, which is why we're happy to see our sponsor PlexTrac stepping in to develop communication technology for these teams. “There's this push and pull of collaboration. On one hand, you want the red team to work autonomously…but on the other hand, they do need insight if you're going to go deeper and deeper.” - Ron Eddings   Legends met, lessons learned, tech loneliness understood In the latter half of our episode, we're joined by Hacker Valley Blue host Davin Jackson, also known as DJax Alpha. Davin started his cybersecurity journey with no computer of his own. Working his way up from basic tech jobs at corporations like Circuit City, lessons Davin learned from the legends he looked up to include finding a mentor, focusing on networking (even when it feels like a dead end), and being always willing to share what you've learned. “It's about consistency, and you have to have self control and discipline…It's one thing to get it, but it's another to maintain that success.” - Davin   Hacking the Vocabulary: Pen test — Pen test, or penetration testing, is a method of identifying and testing vulnerabilities and gaps in an IT security system that could be exploited. This can also be referred to as “ethical hacking”. Popping a shell — A slang term for when a hacker exploits a security vulnerability to make a program run a hacker code. Red team — A group within an organization made up of offensive security experts who try to attack an organization's cybersecurity defenses. Blue team — A group of defensive security experts within the same organization that defends against and responds to the red team attack.

Know thy organization is key! Wise words from the powerful Marcus J. Carey.  Don't be afraid to admit the bad stuff and be honest about the situation.  Most of the time people get fired because they are scared to admit the failure.   You have to build a tight network of people you trust who will be brutally honest with you.  You need those people who are going to tell you the truth.  Other people will see your superpowers before you do. Superman didn't know he was different, but others saw the differences and the strengths he didn't even realize he had.  Always pay attention to how people react to what you do, then you will figure out what you are really good at.  We over emphasize what we suck at and ignore what we are good at.  Don't do that. You need to understand how amazing, awesome and beautiful you are.  Double down and double down hard.  Do not be afraid to show your talents and be confident in your superpower.   In security, there is a role for everybody.   Key Takeaways:   1:40 In this episode 2:12 Welcome 3:40 Marcus background 4:57 What lead Marcus to cyber 7:09 Self discovery 9:48 Creations and inventions 14:22 Gathering and retaining information 17:53 Auxiliary skill 21:35 Abilities and mission 25:26 Overlooked areas 31:44 Advice to others 35:41 Staying up-to-date with Marcus   Links:   Marcus on Twitter   Marcus' Books on Amazon Marcus on LinkedIn Learn more about Hacker Valley Studio Support Hacker Valley Studio on Patreon Follow Hacker Valley Studio on Twitter Follow Ron Eddings on Twitter Follow Chris Cochran on Twitter Sponsored by Axonius

According to the Department of Homeland Security, our daily life, economic vitality, and national security depend on a stable, safe, and resilient cyberspace.In fact, the global cyber security market size was valued at USD 167.13 billion in 2020 and is expected to register a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9% from 2021 to 2028. This growth can be attributed to the growing sophistication of cyberattacks and the frequency and intensity of cybercrimes that have increased over the last decade and have resulted in huge losses for businesses. As a result, businesses and governments worldwide are channeling their spending to strengthen their in-house security infrastructure, creating a pool of opportunities for industry participants.Join us as we talk to Marcus J. Carey, a cybersecurity advocate and startup founder with more than 25 years of protecting government and commercial sensitive data. Marcus started his cybersecurity career in the U.S. Navy and the National Security Agency (NSA). After his service, Marcus founded a cybersecurity startup Threatcare which he later sold to Reliaquest. Marcus is also the author of Tribe of Hackers, a series of books providing cybersecurity advice from the Best Hackers in the World.Find Marcus on Twitter: @marcusjcareyLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcuscarey/Check out Tribe of Hackers

By Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli As "The World's Most Empathetic Hacker," Marcus J. Carey has built himself a long career in InfoSec and secured a well-deserved seat at the CyberSecurity community table. His roles in the industry, in the community, and society didn't happen magically. Growing up in his grandmother's house in a small town in Texas, the path wasn't easy for Marcus, and he took every opportunity to learn from those around him; including his grandfather, who was not only a carpenter that showed Marcus how to build things but also the male figure in his life, showing Marcus how to build himself. During our conversation, Marcus shares stories of life during middle school and high school (where he was into programming) and getting recruited by the US Navy (where he worked on cryptographic communications). We also discussed what it's like being an outcast and the role that played as he became a prominent figure in the hacker community. This success isn't something that takes over Marcus' mind, however. He remains humble and gives back to the community every chance he gets. One of the gestures worth noting here is the creation of the Tribe of Hackers book, where he recognizes other hackers' accomplishments good deeds. We sure enjoyed another spontaneous and honest conversation. We hope you do too. _________________ Learn more about this column's sponsors: Devo: www.itspmagazine.com/company-directory/devo Find more An InfoSec Life stories on ITSPmagazine: www.itspmagazine.com/an-infosec-life

We finished up our odyssey with Marcus J. Carey this week.  We picked his brain about how he feel about China, the coming cyberwar, and what kinds of tools he uses in his toolbox (hint: he doesn't use Kali). We also talk a bit about the entitlement of people, and what makes folks in poorer countries turn to hacking. We really enjoyed hearing his take on certifications and education. He's a Ruby nut, but suggests that people learn Python. He also talks about how he teaches people about security. The little everyday things that show you do security. A thought provoking interview that will definitely inspire you to pour yourself into a Python book, or to grab a Raspberry Pi and start learning.     Intro "Private Eye", transition "Mining by Moonlight", and Outro "Honeybee" created by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Marcus J. Carey, a security research and software developer came on to talk to us about FireDrill.me, a tool used to help people work out their Incident Response muscles.  He is also the creator of threatagent.com. Marcus is well known in Security circles, and after we talked to him about FireDrill and ThreatAgent, we got his opinion of other subjects that interested us in the Infosec industry. Marcus is a man of his own mind, and he certainly did not disappoint. Hope you enjoy Part 1 of our conversation with him. We also asked him about the celebrity that many in the industry face, and how it should be handled by people in the industry.
