In episode one-hundred-and-forty-two of Zapped to the Past, we start our look at some of those games, including the stellar Space Rogue, the maudlin Meganova: The Weapon, and the baffling Bushido and wonder why so many shmups think enemies coming from behind is a good idea…?  Games covered in this episode: Space Rogue Meganova: The Weapon Maze Mania Bushido Find us here: https://zappedtothepast.com/ If you would like to help us out and join our Patreon, find it here: https://www.patreon.com/zappedtothepast If you want to buy amazing Zapped to the Past merch, go here: https://zappedtothepast.shop https://www.redbubble.com/people/zappedtothepast/shop If you want to buy a Coffee for Zapped to the Past, go here: https://ko-fi.com/zappedtothepast Need our links in one place - you can do that too: https://linktr.ee/zappedtothepast https://online.pubhtml5.com/oowg/grrx/#p=1 Additional links mentioned in the Podcast: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Space_Rogue https://sfodb.com/index.php?page=detail&program=265 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wYqu_YlPIM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB6UXDSqUUc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyR7NK9ykPo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG_k5CSYKhg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-6FmYqIeps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=686A5yPMWrs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1_uU9eIZRo https://www.smackmedia.ca/news/rhcp-assaults-problematic-industry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofrqm6-LCqs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdhzz63DGNo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-_CrTtyuN0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKgVzWeZ4qw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDZlF8aTRZM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGSKrC7dGcY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFood_bTOX4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9DjDh3yjSM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e04pzNwIqU8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrU0YuJ47uA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4tSoH5R_Vs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW2hul7_Pn4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7djYYE63Ug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHkD6NO2dmM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4I9fzbrExg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y6xMNjBboQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t83z1eUpfMc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28w2LVzxVkU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypbjIwbTR8c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYXHdFUAqK4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk6bnmVRbhw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5gQt126Ka8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn_or9gEB6g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnY2UJqiGUE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGXBUyB_n-s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SOryJvTAGs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf9DYeePLJY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3ixEzKA4k0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9F7Ox2cv2A https://ia904603.us.archive.org/5/items/bushidowayofthewarrior89/bushidowayofthewarrior89.pdf  

In today's episode James is joined by Cris Thomas, a true cybersecurity maverick that is more famously known as "Space Rogue." Join us as Cris delves into the fascinating origins of L0pht, a pioneering hacker collective that left an indelible mark on the industry. Cris also shares invaluable insights on securing networks, debunks hacking culture myths, sheds light on unconventional cybersecurity risks that often go unnoticed, and discusses his new book, Space Rogue: How the Hackers Known As L0pht Changed the World. 

The Space Rogue Episode: A Respectful Trip, A Book Reading, The Works BBS, A Ferret in Massachusetts, Gatherings to Gatherings, The L0pht, Seedlings to Guarding, The Digital Lifeline, The Story of the L0pht and of Space Rogue, Why The Book is Needed, A Joyful Noise, A Family's Witness. My pal Space Rogue wrote a book called SPACE ROGUE: HOW THE HACKERS KNOWN AS L0PHT CHANGED THE WORLD. It talks about his time as part of that group, of the @stake era, and most importantly, his path in life. It's a great Hacker Memoir and I hope we see many more. His book site (and his personal site as well) is at https://www.spacerogue.net/wordpress/

Cris Thomas is a founding member of L0pht Heavy Industries, one of the most influential hacker groups in history. Thomas' new book follows the hacker 'Space Rogue' as he takes you on a journey through the magical hacker scene of the 1990s. The L0pht hacker collective no longer exists, but its legacy lives on. This microcast is a short version of our full interview with Thomas, which you can listen to at https://soundcloud.com/cybercrimemagazine/space-rogue-how-the-hackers-known-as-l0pht-changed-the-world-cris-thomas-author

Hacker Cris Thomas – better known by his old bulletin board system handle Space Rogue – has witnessed the infosec community grow from a hodgepodge network of hacking collectives to a multibillion dollar industry. Space Rogue was a member of the L0pht Heavy Industries hacker group that made its name poking holes in premier products from burgeoning tech giants like Microsoft and Oracle. Now Global Lead of Policy and Special Initiatives at IBM, he is also author of a new memoir recounting his experiences from the “magical hacker scene” of the 1990s, Space Rogue: How the Hackers Known As L0pht Changed the World. In the latest episode of WE'RE IN!, Space Rogue shares his side of the story from L0pht's influential May 1998 testimony before Congress, in which the hackers warned of glaring security vulnerabilities that remain relevant to this day. --------Tune in to hear more from Space Rogue on: * Tales from early meetings of the famous hacker quarterly 2600 * The value of college versus certifications for anyone seeking to launch an infosec career* The fragility of the modern internet

How to tell the difference between a chatbot and a human, Space Rogue joins the panel to discuss his new book "How the Hackers Known As L0pht Changed the World", choosing a hacker handle, testifying before Congress, the origins of L0pht, writing a book, the end of L0pht as @stake, the Hacker News Network, remembering Aloria.

This is the story of Cris Thomas aka Space Rogue, who's written perhaps the best book about the early days of hacking, Space Rogue: How the Hackers Known as the Loft Changed The World. Unlike a journalist merely chronicling events in Boston in the 1990s from the outside, Cris was on the inside. This is not only the story of the L0pht but it's also the story of his life, so he seamlessly provides the often missing context of the time with countless asides and anecdotes woven in instead of tacked on. In this episode of Error Code, Cris also drops a lot of names.

Organizations today operate under the constant looming threat of cyber attacks. While reactive cybersecurity measures will help organizations respond to past and present threats, offensive measures are the only chance to get ahead of attackers and beat them to the punch. There is now a greater call for offensive solutions like penetration testing and red teaming to evaluate environments so security gaps can be identified and closed before a breach. Join us as we discuss how these solutions work both independently and together, as well as practical ways organizations can build or mature an offensive security strategy.  Segment Resources:  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/videos/when-use-pen-testing-red-teaming-or-both?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cts-security-weekly  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/guides/complete-guide-layering-offensive-security?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cts-security-weekly  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/datasheets/offensive-security-advanced-bundle?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cts-security-weekly   This segment is sponsored by Fortra.

Using data collected by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, scientists have found four free-floating, or rogue, planets near the core of the Milky Way. These planets formed in discs in other planetary systems and were thrown out by gravitational interactions with larger planets. Plus, the early solar system, including ancient Earth, Jupiter's chemistry, and Mercury's core.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

What's even scarier than Halloween? The vast array of cyberthreats facing organizations today. October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) in the United States, and who better to speak about securing end-user devices than X-Force Red's very own Space Rogue? In this edition of the X-Force Red in Action podcast series, he outlines must-have security basics and offers best practices for protecting connected devices and managing small business risk. Listen now to discover the 3 "p"s of online safety (hint: the first is passwords), and learn how to practice cybersecurity awareness all year long. For more information on X-Force Red, visit ibm.com/xforcered, and visit https://securityintelligence.com regularly throughout October for more special NCSAM tips and content.

When Space Rogue testified before Congress in 1998 as part of activist group L0pht Heavy Industries, he never expected to work for IBM. And yet, that's just where he finds himself today — and he couldn't be happier. Space Rogue, a.k.a. Cris Thomas, joins the X-Force Red in Action podcast this week to talk about everything from penetration testing to Black Hat 2018 to his extensive sticker collection. To learn more about the team and their adventures in offensive security, visit ibm.com/xforcered.

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) as well as Halloween season. In honor of this this confluence of events, Space Rogue and Videoman, both of IBM X-Force Red, have come together for a conversation about some scary security blunders and, because we don't want our listeners to have nightmares, some tips for resurrecting your security strategy.

Cris Thomas, better known within the security community as Space Rogue, joined IBM X-Force Red as global strategy lead earlier this summer. In this podcast, he reflects on how his career has evolved over the past two decades and how events like Black Hack and DEF CON have also changed over the same period.

Tenable (https://www.tenable.com) . With more than two decades of experience, he commands an uncanny ability to link disparate events, read between the lines and distill complex, technical information into readily understandable, accessible and actionable intelligence. Cris is a founding member of strategist for Tenable (https://www.tenable.com/profile/cris-thomas) , Cris helps clients understand how to apply the unique advantages of continuous monitoring as well as how to meet compliance and security challenges. I have been following Space Rogue's work since the 90's and am delighted to have him on the show. I encourage people to go back and watch the famous testimony from Cris and the rest of L0pht from almost 20 years ago. It's scary that so many of the issues called out then, still exist today. In this episode we discuss  RSA conference (https://www.rsaconference.com/) , the start of L0pht heavy industries, L0pht's famous testimony before congress, security basics, and much more. Where you can find Cris: LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/spacerogue/) Spacerogue.net (http://www.spacerogue.net/) Twitter (https://twitter.com/spacerog) CyberSquirrel1 (http://cybersquirrel1.com/) Tenable Blog (https://www.tenable.com/profile/cris-thomas) Plus, everyone should just watch this. It's almost 20 years old and it still is very relevant. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVJldn_MmMY[/embed]

In this week's news, Tim and Tom discuss a scientific finding that may have implications for interstellar life. In the arts they look at the new trailer for Rogue One, and in history they talk about House of Wax, the first film released in 3-D. All that and the magic numbers.

On today's segment, we're going to take a different approach from our normal format. I was at the AppSec USA Conference in New York City last week and was asked to chair a panel for the game show "Wait, wait... don't pwn me!". This is the full recording of the session. As you listen, keep in mind, every situation described within the game is true. Let's start first with the introductions of Chris Eng, Josh Corman and Space Rogue.

This segment was broken in two parts as the technical segment with Heather Mahalik happened in the middle of it. Heather is a senior digital forensics analyst at Basis Technology. As the on-site project manager, she uses her experience to manage the cell phone exploitation team and supports media and cell phone forensics efforts in the U.S. government. Heather is a certified SANS instructor and teaching the upcoming course Advanced Smartphone and Mobile Device Forensics. Ok, on to the stories of the week with Paul, Larry, Allison and Jack. What'd you do this summer? Disney? Six Flags? Big Data Land? After much chatter in the Twittersphere (logged here by Space Rogue) last week, Jack brings up the "Popping Penguins" article from Forbes. The article talks about this super vulnerable program that is going to be the downfall of Linux. It's called bash. Would you believe you can use bash to start a listener on your machine and then send some commands over telnet to have someone else's machine connect back to you? Uh oh. Also, beware of another application, one that runs from the desktop that lets you connect to other computers and pull down files from a machine you don't own. Yeah, that one's called a browser. Sounds equally dangerous, no? Should we uninstall bash as a security measure? Larry threw out there an article on 5 WiFi security myths to abandon. But Larry mentioned that some of these might not actually be very new. Things like don't hide SSID as some newer systems will see them anyway and digging deeper to find the SSID isn't that hard. Plus, if its owner took the steps to hide it, wouldn't that pique your interest that there may be something good running there? Sending out a weak signal may sound like a good idea as if someone can't reach it, they can't connect to it, right? But all that does is annoys its intended users and if someone really wants to get on the network, they'll simply use an antenna. The article ends with the non-myth that if you truly want WiFi security, make sure you use good encryption and a strong password. Simple, eh? Jack was looking forward to going on a good patch rant. He and Paul have done webinars about really stretching things and getting your patch cycle down to five days from the day of release. Jack said during the good old days, he'd challenge himself to getting his systems patched within 72 hours. Patch Tuesday was to be completed by Friday. In this article by Dr. Anton Chuvakin, he does indicate how it would be good for some big corporations to get their patch cycle down from 90 days to 30 days, but then argues if the bad guys only need 3, then what's the point of all that effort? Jack's feeling is that even the 30 days should be enough in many cases, but it's often politics and other "can't do" attitudes that prevent it from happening. Why is that? Get those patches in place people! One quick note on a tangent the team went off on. In their experience as pentesters, Larry and Paul mention that all to often the way they end up pwning a system is through some machine that no one knew was running, with services that no one knew were running, with an account that no one knows why it still exists. Do you have a good inventory of where your data is? What machines are in your data center? What services and accounts are on each? If those are gold to a pentester, who has to respect a customer's defined scope, guess what a malicious user is going to do to your network. Paul's looking for advice on what new phone he should get? Android? iPhone? What say you? Tweet him up with your suggestion at @securityweekly. Remember that Yahoo bug bounty program? $12.50 credit toward the Yahoo store? A little update from the rants and ridicule from last week, it was actually one guy , Ramses Martinez, Director, Yahoo Paranoids, who was very appreciative of people reporting bugs and was paying them out of pocket. He would send researchers a Yahoo tshirt but would then find out the recipient already had multiple Yahoo shirts. Martinez's idea then was to give the reporter a credit in the Yahoo store matching the value of the shirt, our of his own pocket. Since the uproar, Yahoo has installed its own bug bounty program and Martinez is no longer paying for the reports himself. Good on ya, Yahoo and even better, thank you Ramses Martinez for caring about security. Speaking of bug bounties, Google has started a bug bounty program for open source software. Repeat that, it's not just Google software that they're paying bounties for, it's software that there really is no organization behind and normally count on volunteers to fix things. Now Google is putting their money behind that effort. As Allison mentions, there hasn't ever been any motivation for anyone to report bugs and now there is. estrada-sm.jpgPaunch, the alleged author of the Blackhole exploit kit was arrested in Russia last week. Or at least we think so. Some unconfirmed reports have indicated this and Blackhole has not been updated since this time. Or maybe the guy just decided to take an extended vacation and threw the story out there himself. Either way, it might be time for Evil Bob to find a new exploit kit. (Note: Erik Estrada is not "Paunch", he's Ponch, as in Frank Poncharello) Microsoft has a new disk cleanup where it removes all the old and outdated updates. Jack gained more than 6 GB of space after running the cleanup but a word of caution, it take a concerning long time for the next reboot. You might think you killed your computer but no, it really does take that long. Check out "Tails" a security and privacy distribution and let us know what you think. Is it good? What makes it a better choice than some others? Though the number of security updates in recent versions is a little concerning. Yeah, I get it that it's good that security holes are fixed and that it's to software that the distro is including. But it's just a little concerning when you pitch it as being for security and privacy yet there are piles of security updates. It makes me wonder just how secure it is and whether it's any better than a secure version of your favorite distribution anyway. But you can certainly let me know and I'll post some comments from you in upcoming week. Tweet me at @plaverty9 There was also some discussion on iOS7 image identification, Larry has a colleague at Inguardians who wrote up an intro to using rfcat and Jack suggests taking a deeper look for yourself before jumping into the patch for MS13-81 and whether your system needs it. If it does, test thoroughly. It's got some deep stuff on it.
