Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-037-asset_management.mp3 We started off the show talking to Mr. Boettcher about what DDE is and how malware is using this super legacy Windows component (found in Windows 2) to propogate malware in MS Office docs and spreadsheets. We also talk about how to protect your Windows users from this. We then get into discussing why it's so important to have proper asset management in place. Without knowing what is in your environment, you could suffer gaps in coverage of your anti-virus/EDR software, unable to patch systems properly and even make it easier for lateral movement. Finally, we discuss our recent "Introduction to Reverse Engineering" course with Tyler Hudak (@secshoggoth), and Ms. Berlin's upcoming trip to New Zealand.

Direct Link:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-036-Adam_Shostack-threat_modeling.mp3 Adam Shostack has been a fixture of threat modeling for nearly 2 decades. He wrote the 'threat modeling' bible that many people consult when they need to do threat modeling properly. We discuss the different threat modeling types (STRIDE, DREAD, Trike, PASTA) and which ones Adam enjoys using. Mr. Boettcher asks how to handle when people believe an OS is better than another, how to do threat modeling to decide which OS should be the one to use.   Stay after for a special post-show discussion with Adam about his friend Stephen Toulouse (@stepto).   RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Youtube Channel:  http://www.youtube.com/c/BDSPodcast #iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast   Join our #Slack Channel!

After last year's SOURCE Conference, I knew I needed to go again, not just because it was a local (Seattle) infosec conference, but because of the caliber of speakers and the range of topics that were going to be covered. I got audio from two of the speakers at the SOURCE conference (@sourceconf) on Twitter Lee Fisher and Paul English from PreOS Security about UEFI security and methods to secure your devices  https://preossec.com/   Joe Basirico discusses the proper environment to get the best out of your bug bounty program.  points from his abstract: Bug Bounty Programs - Why you want to invite security researchers to hack your products Marketing your Security Program - How and why to market your security program. What to say, how to say it, and where to say it for maximum effectiveness. How to Communicate with Security Researchers - What are security researchers expecting in communication, responsiveness, transparency, and time to fix.   Source conference YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAPQk1fH2A4pzYjwTCt5-dw/videos (2017 is not available yet, but all talk from 2008-2015 is available) agenda of the talks that occurred at Source Seattle 2017  https://www.sourceconference.com/seattle-2017-agenda https://www.sourceconference.com/copy-of-seattle-2016-agenda-details   RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Youtube Channel:  http://www.youtube.com/c/BDSPodcast #iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast   Join our #Slack Channel!

Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-035-business_continuity-After_the_disaster.mp3   We are back this week after a bit of time off, and we getting right back into it... What happens after you enact your business continuity plan? Many times, it can cause you to have to change processes, procedures... you may not even be doing business in the same country or datacenter, and you may be needing to change the way business is done. We also talk a bit about 3rd party vendor reviews, and what would happen if your 3rd party doesn't have a proper plan in place. Finally, we discuss the upcoming #reverseEngineering course starting on 30 October 2017 with Tyler Hudak, as well some upcoming appearances for Ms. Berlin at SecureWV, GrrCon, and Bsides Wellington, #newZealand   RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Youtube Channel:  http://www.youtube.com/c/BDSPodcast #iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast   Join our #Slack Channel!

Panic Step 2. Panic more, or let your management panic Step 3. Follow the plan… you do have a plan, right?   Enacting a BC/DR plan RPO/RTO - https://www.druva.com/blog/understanding-rpo-and-rto/   Recovery Point Objective (RPO) describes the interval of time that might pass during a disruption before the quantity of data lost during that period exceeds the Business Continuity Plan’s maximum allowable threshold or “tolerance.”   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_point_objective   Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the duration of time and a service level within which a business process must be restored after a disaster in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in continuity.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_time_objective   https://uptime.is/99.99   Excerpt from "Defensive Security Handbook" - Buy from Amazon (sponsored link):  http://amzn.to/2zcmWBY Recovery Point Objective   The recovery point objective (RPO) is the point in time that you wish to recover to. That is, determining if you need to be able to recover data right up until seconds before the disaster strikes, or whether the night before is acceptable, or the week before, for example. This does not take into account of how long it takes to make this recovery, only the point in time from which you will be resuming once recovery has been made. There is a tendency to jump straight to seconds before the incident; however, the shorter the RPO, the more the costs and complexity will invariably move upwards. Recovery Time Objective   The recovery time objective (RTO) is how long it takes to recover, taken irrespective of the RPO. That is, after the disaster, how long until you have recovered to the point determined by the RPO.   To illustrate with an example, if you operate a server that hosts your brochureware website, the primary goal is probably going to be rapidly returning the server to operational use. If the content is a day old it is probably not as much of a problem as if the system held financial transactions whereby the availability of recent transactions is important. In this case an outage of an hour may be tolerable, with data no older than one day once recovered.   In this case the RPO would be one day, and the RTO would be one hour.   There is often a temptation for someone from a technology department to set these times; however, it should be driven by the business owners of systems. This is for multiple reasons:   It is often hard to justify the cost of DR solutions. Allowing the business to set requirements, and potentially reset requirements if costs are too high, not only enables informed decisions regarding targets, but also reduces the chances of unrealistic expectations on recovery times.   IT people may understand the technologies involved, but do not always have the correct perspective to make a determination as to what the business’ priorities are in such a situation.   The involvement of the business in the DR and BCP plans eases the process of discussing budget and expectations for these solutions.   RPO should be determined when working through a Business impact analysis (BIA) https://www.ready.gov/business-impact-analysis   https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/89526   There is always a gap between the actuals (RTA/RPA) and objectives After an incident or disaster, a ‘Lessons Learned’ should identify shortcomings and adjust accordingly. This may also affect contracts, or customers may require re-negotiation of their RTO/RPO requirements   If something happens 4 hours after a backup, and you have an hour until the next backup, you have to reconcile the lost information, or take it as a loss Loss = profits lost, fines for SLAs   You may not be doing the same after the disaster.

*Apologies for the continuity this was recorded before we went to Derbycon 2017.*   Preston Pierce is a recruiter. We wanted to have him on to discuss some issues with our industry. So we had him on to discuss hiring practices, how a recruiter can help a company recruiter better talent, and how to stop companies looking for the 'unicorn' candidate. Preston is a great guy and we learned a lot about how the recruiting process works, and how Preston's company work differently from other, less reputable companies. We also discuss job descriptions, getting management buy in for a good candidate, and more.  Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-034-Preston_Pierce_recruiting_job_descriptions.mp3   RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Youtube Channel:  http://www.youtube.com/c/BDSPodcast #iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast   Join our #Slack Channel!

How? Secure coding? Hardening boxes/Systems?   If it’s just dev -> prod, where does security have the chance to find issues (i.e. test and QA belong there)?   We used to have the ability for a lot of security injection points, but no longer   Lowers the number of people we have to harangue to be secure…?   Security success = baked in to DevOps   Shift from a ‘top down’ to ‘bottom up’ Eliminate FPs, and forward on real issues to devs Concentrate on one or two types of vulnerabilities Triage vulns from most important to least important   Go for ‘quick wins’, or things that don’t take a lot of time for devs to fix. Grepping for ‘system(), or execve()’ Primitives (hashing, encryption, file system operations) How do you stop a build going to production if it’s going out like that? Do we allow insecurity to go to Production? Or would it be too late to ‘stop the presses’? “We’ll fix it in post…” Instead of the ‘guardrail not speedbump’ you are the driving instructor...   But where does security get in to be able to talk to devs about data flow, documentation of processes? 5 Y’s - Why are you doing that?   Setup things like alerting on git repos, especially for sensitive code Changing a sensitive bit of code or file may notify people Will make people think before making changes Put controls in terms of how they enable velocity   You like you some bug bounties, why?   Continuous feedback   Learn to find/detect attackers as early in the attack chain   Refine your vuln triage/response   Use bug reports as IR/DFIR...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORtYTDSmi4U   https://www.slideshare.net/zanelackey/how-to-adapt-the-sdlc-to-the-era-of-devsecops   http://www.slideshare.net/zanelackey/building-a-modern-security-engineering-organization       In SAST, a modern way to decide what to test is start with a small critical vuln, like OS command injection.  Find those and get people to fix it.  BUT don’t developers or project teams get unhappy [sic] if you keep "moving the goal post" as you add in the next SAST test and the next SAST test.  How do you do that and not piss people off?   [15:16] How do you make development teams self sufficient when it comes to writing a secure application?  Security is a road block during a 3 month release schedule….getting "security approval" in a 3 day release cycle is impossible.   [15:17] But then…what is the job for the security team?  If DevOps with security is done right, do you still need a security team, if so what do they do????  Do they write more code??? I don't think your Dev'ops'ing security out of a job...but where does security see itself in 5 years? Last one if there is time and interest.  If Zane Lackey was a _maintainer_ of an open source project, what dev ops sec lessons would he apply to that dev model…to the OpenSource model? (We've got internal projects managed with the open source model...so im interested in this one) Even with out any of those questions the topics he covered in his black hat talk are FULL of content to talk about.  Heck, even bug bounties are a topic of conversation. The idea of a feedback loop to dev...where an application under attack in a pen test can do fixes live....how that is possible is loads of content.  

Everyone should be doing incident response tabletops, even if it's not a dedicated task in your organization. It allows you to find out what you might be lacking in terms of processes, manpower, requirements, etc. This week, we discuss what you need to do to get ready for one, and how those should go in terms of helping your organization understand how to handle the aftermath. And in case you've been under a rock, #equifax was breached.  143 million credit records are in the ether. We discuss the facts as of 9 September 2017, and what this means to the average user.

A drill is when staff carries out as many of the processes, procedures, and mitigations that would be performed during one of the emergencies as possible.While drills are limited in scope, they can be very useful to test specific controls for gaps and possible improvements. A disaster recovery plan can be carried out to some length, backups can be tested with the restoration of files, and services can be failed over to secondary cluster members.Tabletop exercises are composed of several key groups or members. During a tabletop exercise there should be a moderator or facilitator that will deliver the scenario to be played out. This moderator can answer “what if ” questions about the imaginary emergency as well as lead discussion, pull in additional resources, and control the pace of the exercise. Inform the participants that it is perfectly acceptable to not have answers to questions during this exercise. The entire purpose of tabletops is to find the weaknesses in current processes to mitigate them prior to an actual incident.• A member of the exercise should also evaluate the overall performance of the exercise as well as create an after-action report. This evaluator should take meticulous notes as well as follow along any runbook to ensure accuracy. While the evaluator will be the main notetaker, other groups and individuals may have specific knowledge and understanding of situations. In this case having each member provide the evaluator with their own notes at the conclusion of the tabletop is a good step.• Participants make up the majority of this exercise. Included should be groups such as Finance, HR, Legal, Security (both physical and information), Management, Marketing, and any other key group that may be required. Participants should be willing to engage in the conversation, challenge themselves and others politely, and work within the parameters of the exercise. What to include in the tabletop:• A handout to participants with the scenario and room for notes.• Current runbook of how security situations are handled.• Any policy and procedure manuals.• List of tools and external services. Post-exercise actions and questions:• What went well?• What could have gone better?• Are any services or processes missing that would have improved resolution time or accuracy?• Are any steps unneeded or irrelevant?• Identify and document issues for corrective action.• Change the plan appropriately for next time.

This week was one heck of a show. If you are a blueteamer and make use of the "Windows Logging Cheat Sheet", you are no doubt aware of how important it is to log certain events, and to set hostile conditions to make malware/Trojans/virus have a harder time avoiding detection. What if I told you the same updates we suggested last week to NEVER delay actually undoes all your hardening on your system and leaves your logfiles set to defaults, all file associations for suspect files like pif, bat, scr, bin, are set back to defaults, allow your users to be victims again, even after you've assured them they are safe to update? After a sequence of tweets from Michael Gough about just this exact thing, we laid out all the information, how and what get reverted that will open you back up to possible infections, as well as how some hardening standards actually make it harder to be secure. Finally, we discuss the CIS benchmarks, and how many of the settings in them are largely outdated and why they need to be updated.   Direct Download: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-029-windows_updates_clobbers_security__settings_CIS_hardening_needs_an_update.mp3 RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFjAqFb4A60M1TMa0t1KXw #iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast     Join our #Slack Channel!

 This week went in a different direction from what we normally do. We discussed some news, a twitter conversation about someone from the 'ahem' "media" that suggests that you disable Windows Update on your home devices. We discuss the pros and mostly cons of doing that, and alternatives to protect your home and work devices from that. We talked about the Comcast Xfinity applicances and how they have a vulnerability that could make it appear that traffic created by people outside of your house could look like it was coming from your home network. We discuss the public disclosure of Carbon Black's architecture and seeming sharing of customer events to 3rd parties... it's not all black and white, and we discuss those here.   RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFjAqFb4A60M1TMa0t1KXw #iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast     Join our #Slack Channel!

It seems like every new security product employs one or both of these terms. She did the keynote at Bsides Las Vegas on topics of #Machine #Learning and #Behavioral #Economics. We asked Ms. Miller to join us here to discuss what ML and AI are, how algorithms work to analyze the data to come to the right conclusion. What is required to get a useful algorithm, and how much or little human interaction is required? We also discuss a bit of history with her, how IDS/IPS were just dumber versions of machine learning, with 'tweaks' being new Yara or snort rules to tell the machine what to allow/disallow.  Finally, we discussed how people who are doing our 2017 DerbyCon CTF, instructions on how to win are in the show, so please take a listen.   RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFjAqFb4A60M1TMa0t1KXw #iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast     Join our #Slack Channel!

If you read many of the news articles out there, it ranges from 'meh' to 'OMG, the sky, it is falling". GDPR will cause a lot of new issues in the way business is being done, not just in the realm of security, but in the way data is managed, maintained, catalogued, and shared. This week we invited Ms. Wendy Everette Knox (@wendyck) to come in and discuss some of the issues that might hit companies. We also discuss how GDPR and the exit (or not) of the UK from the #European #Union will affect data holders and citizens of the UK. If your company is preparing for the #GDPR mandate, check out the show notes for a lot of good info. ALSO, If you are looking for a ticket to #derbycon 2017, you need to listen to this show, because it has all the info you need to get started.  The info is also in the show notes, including the form you need to post your flag information. #RSS: www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFjAqFb4A60M1TMa0t1KXw #iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast     Join our #Slack Channel!

This week, we discussed Ms. Berlin's recent foray to CircleCityCon, 614con (@614con), and her recent webinars with O'Reilly. One topic we discussed this week was how to reach out to small businesses about information security. Mr. Boettcher (@boettcherpwned) had just came from a panel discussion about an initiative in Austin, Texas called "MANIFEST", which sought to engage small business owners with #information #security professionals to help them secure their environments. So we got to discussing how you might go about it in your local hometowns. Many of us live in smaller towns, with numerous small businesses that either don't know to secure their #POS #terminals (for example), or office information not in a file cabinet. They may also just assume their outsourced IT company is doing that job, which could open them up to liability if something occurred. So we discuss ways to reach out, or get involved with your local community. Secondly, we talk about software vulnerabilities found in the #CWE and the '7 Pernicious Kingdoms' which are the way some people have classified vulnerabilities. We one of the kingdoms, and how it is useful if you want to classify vulns to developers. Finally, after the show, Mr. Boettcher and Mr. Michael Gough, who has been on the show previously discusses some #ransomware and why it's such a popular topic of discussion.

Hector Monsegur (@hxmonsegur on Twitter) is a good friend of the show, and we invited him to come on and discuss some of the #OSINT research he's doing to identify servers without using noisy techniques like DNS brute forcing.   We also discuss EclinicalWorks and their massive fine for falsifying testing of their EHR system, and implications for that. What happens to customers confidence in the product, and what happens if you're already a customer and realize you were duped by them?   We also discuss Hector's involvement with the TV show "Outlaw Tech". Who approached him, why he did it, why it's not CSI:Cyber or "Scorpion" and how it discusses the techniques used by bad guys.   Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-020-Hector_monsegur_DNS_research_OSINT.mp3   #RSS: www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFjAqFb4A60M1TMa0t1KXw iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast     Join our #Slack Channel!

Very interested in hearing about this Straight OSINT, or what? Hxm: Over at RSL (Rhino Sec Labs), one of the research projects I’m working on is discovery of assets (subdomains) while minimizing footprint (dns bruteforcing). Datasets include things like: Data from the certificate transparency project (https://www.certificate-transparency.org/) rDNS and forward dns dataset from https://scans.io/  Sonar Scans - Rapid7 Sublist3r: https://github.com/aboul3la/Sublist3r And other datasets that are out there Crime Flare https://krebsonsecurity.com/tag/crimeflare-com/ -> crimeflare.com Discuss why brute forcing DNS leaves such a heavy footprint for blue team forensics How cloud providers like CloudFlare, and others, do not take advantage of DNS bruteforcing error messages   Special shout out to Ryan Sears @ CaliDog Security for his research into this field https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain Smart DNS Bruteforcing - https://github.com/jfrancois/SDBF   Training gained from internal phishing campaigns Does it breed internal mis-trust?

  This week, we invited Ms. Jessy Irwin (@jessysaurusrex) on to discuss the issues Small and medium businesses and startups have with getting good training, training that is effective and what can be done to address these issues. We also go through several ideas for training subjects that should be addressed by training, and what maybe would be addressed by policy.   ------- Upcoming BrakeSec Podcast training: Ms. Sunny Wear - Web App Security/OWASP 14 June - 21 June - 28 June at 1900 Eastern (1600 Pacific, 2300 UTC) $20 USD on Patreon to attend the class $9 USD for just the videos to follow along in class Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast   If you want the videos and don’t care about the class, they will be released a week after class is over for free.   -------- Jay Beale’s Class “aikido on the command line: hardening and containment” JULY 22-23 & JULY 24-25    AT BlackHat 2017 https://www.blackhat.com/us-17/training/aikido-on-the-command-line-linux-hardening-and-containment.html   --------- Join our #Slack Channel!

First off, most corporate security training misses the incentive mark by a mile. If training were refocused in a way that showed the incentives to improving personal safety, we might get somewhere. Teaching people how to take care of themselves first works-- those habits carry over into their work life, not usually the other way around.   Passwords Multifactor authentication Device encryption Ad blocking Browser hardening via extension/plugin Safe browsing (this breaks into a few different topics) Phishing doesn't just happen via email anymore: social media inboxes, text message inboxes, messaging apps, etc. Most users won't come to social engineering defenses on their own-- important to educate and give alternatives that encourage them to confirm information out of band or navigate to a site in their browser Social engineering (this breaks into a few different topics) Segmentation/compartmentalizing data + communications Secure storage(local vs cloud data) Media storage safety (thumbdrives! Charge-only cables for mobile devices!) Google Apps + Slack allow for OAuth; most people set it and forget it, don't review what apps can act on their behalf until it's too late Regularly reviewing permissions granted to apps through oAuth Backups   http://www.zdnet.com/article/sans-security-awareness-study-reveals-technical-communication-skills-and-proper-resourcing-critical/ “The report goes onto say that security awareness professionals with more technical backgrounds are more keen to recognizing behaviors that might bring risk, however, at times communications training is critical given that human interaction soft skills make changing risky employee behavior. They know what behaviors are the most effective in managing those risks. Often however, the challenge is that these same individuals often lack the skills or training to effectively communicate those risks and engage employees in a manner that effectively changes behavior.”  summed up our entire industry in this paragraph --brbr    https://securingthehuman.sans.org/resources/security-awareness-report-2017 ^^^^ saw this on Twitter yesterday -brbr   Key takeaways:   The study recommends the following for addressing communications:   Communicate to leadership monthly about your security awareness program -- in a way that business leaders will value. Find a strong champion within leadership, and ask them to help relay the program value to other leaders, or assist with message crafting. Partner with those in the org that you've found to appreciate and adhere to security awareness inputs, especially those who can help partner on better communications. Take communications training; they can be easily developed with the right focus. Align with human resources to ensure an awareness program is tied into company culture. Keep an eye on your audience, as it grows and shift, and recognize that the same message that works for developers may not be effective for marketing, and vice versa. A one-size-fits-all communications approach can be limiting.    You writing a book?   I've been working on a book about security that's focused on education and communication. We do such a horrible job at this-- we don't do very much that helps the average person or our non-technical, non-expert colleagues have a chance at being successful online. Our terms are too technical, our framing is unbelievably negative and toxic, and the lack of empathy for the people at the other end of the computer is absolutely astounding. It is entirely fixable, but we all have to stop contradicting one another and really start working together. :)   You make it sound so bleak and self-destructive :| I would like to hope that we can get better.   Oh yea, the echo chamber, “who has the right answer?” no one, we all just have pieces... Yes! And sometimes the right answer changes very, very quickly! It's less about the silver bullet answer and more about what we’re defending from and hoping to accomplish.   Are SMBs the issue? Are they more insecure than bigger companies? Or do bigger companies get more media coverage?   Are bigger companies any better at training employees? Or are they better at ‘checking’ the box?   If we take the statement ‘paid for security training sucks’ as a given, what do we do about it? What trainings should we be giving?    And what training should actually be policy driven? (make it a requirement to follow) Clean desk Password manager Coding practices Acceptable use Device encyption 2FA/MFA   What training do infosec people need? How important are the soft skills to help with communicating?

We discuss SANS courses, including the one I just took (SEC504). How did I do in class? You can listen to the show and find out. Since it's been a few weeks, we also discuss all the interesting WannaCry reports, the ease at which this vulnerability was exploited, and why would a company allow access to SMB (tcp port 445) from the Internet?

 Zero trust networking may be a foreign concept to you, but Google and others have been utilizing this method of infrastructure and networking for quite a while now. It stands more traditional networking on it's head by not having a boundry in the traditional sense. There's no VPN, no ACLs to audit, no firewall to maintain... Sounds crazy right? Well, it's all about trust, or the lack of it. No one trusts anyone without a proper chain of permission. Utilizing 2FA, concepts of port knocking, and CA certificates are used to properly vet both the host and the server and are used to keep the whole system safe and as secure as possible. Sounds great right? Well, and you can imagine, with our interview this week, we find out that it's not prefect, people have to implement their own Zero Trust Networking solution, and unless you are a mature organization, with things like complete asset management, data flow, and configuration management, you aren't ready to implement it.

 Malware is big business, both from the people using it, to the people who sell companies blinky boxes to companies saying that they scare off bad guys. The latest marketdroid speak appears to be the term 'fileless malware', which by definition...   FTA: “Malware from a "fileless" attack is so-called because it resides solely in memory, with commands delivered directly from the internet. The approach means that there's no executable on disk and no artefacts ("files") for conventional computer forensic analysis to pick up, rendering the attacks stealthy, if not invisible. Malware infections will still generate potential suspicious network traffic.”   https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/28/fileless_malware_menace/ -- by definition, not ‘fileless’ But many of the 'fileless' attacks require a 'file' to be opened to enable the initial infection. This week, Michael Gough (@hackerhurricane) comes on to discuss his latest blog post (http://hackerhurricane.blogspot.com/2017/05/fileless-malware-not-so-fast-lets.html) and we discuss the fact that a lot of malware classification and categorization and how it fails to actually convey to leaders what it affects   https://business.kaspersky.com/targeted-attacks-trends/6776/ http://www.binarydefense.com/powershell-injection-diskless-persistence-bypass-techniques/ Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-016-fileless_malware_reclassifying_malware_types.mp3   Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFjAqFb4A60M1TMa0t1KXw iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast   Bsides Springfield, MO Eventbrite for Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bsides-springfield-tickets-33495265240 (only 27 tickets left as of 28 Apr)   --------- Jay Beale’s Class “aikido on the command line: hardening and containment” JULY 22-23 & JULY 24-25    AT BlackHat 2017 https://www.blackhat.com/us-17/training/aikido-on-the-command-line-linux-hardening-and-containment.html   --------- Join our #Slack Channel!

This week, we have a little story time. Developers should be aware of the kinds of vulnerabilities their code can be attacked with. XSS, Buffer overflows, heap overflows, etc should be terms that they understand. But is it enough that they are 'aware' of them, and yet seem to do nothing? Or should they be experts in their own particular area of development, and leave infosec people to deal with more generic issues? We discuss the pros and cons of this argument this week, as well as how the idea of training people are flawed, because of who holds the purse strings.    Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-015-security_expert-vs-Security_aware_devs.mp3   Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFjAqFb4A60M1TMa0t1KXw iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2  #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifp5boyverbo4yywxnbydtzljcy?t=Brakeing_Down_Security_podcast   Bsides Springfield, MO Eventbrite for Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bsides-springfield-tickets-33495265240 (only 27 tickets left as of 28 Apr)   --------- Jay Beale’s Class “aikido on the command line: hardening and containment” JULY 22-23 & JULY 24-25    AT BlackHat 2017 https://www.blackhat.com/us-17/training/aikido-on-the-command-line-linux-hardening-and-containment.html   --------- Join our #Slack Channel!

So, I (Bryan) had a bit of a work issue to discuss. It has become one of my myriad jobs at work to write up some policies. In and of itself, it's not particularly fun work, and for whatever reason, this is causing me all kinds of issues. So this week we take a quick look at why I'm having these issues, if they are because I don't get it, or because the method I must follow is flawed. After that, we add on to last week's show on #2FA and #MFA (http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-013-Multi-factor_auth_gotchas_with_Matt.mp3) by discussing why scientists are trying to create a 'master fingerprint' capable of opening mobile devices. We talk about FAR and FRR (false acceptance/rejection rates), and why the scientists may actually be able to pull it off. We discussed Ms. Berlin's trip to the AIDE conference (https://appyide.org/), a two day #DFIR conference held at Marshall University by our good friend Bill Gardner (@oncee on Twitter). She gave a great interactive talk on working through online wargames and CTFs, and we get her update on the conference. Finally, we did discuss a bit about the #ShadowBroker dump of #NSA tools. We discussed how different people are taking this dump over the #Wikileaks #CIA dump.   Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-014-Policy_writing_for_the_masses-master_fingerprints_disneyland.mp3 Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFjAqFb4A60M1TMa0t1KXw iTunes Store Link:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brakeing-down-security-podcast/id799131292?mt=2    --------- Jay Beale’s Class “aikido on the command line: hardening and containment” JULY 22-23 & JULY 24-25    AT BlackHat 2017 https://www.blackhat.com/us-17/training/aikido-on-the-command-line-linux-hardening-and-containment.html     --------- Join our #Slack Channel!

Most everyone uses some kind of Multi-factor or '2 Factor Authentication". But our guest this week (who is going by "Matt" @infosec_meme)... Wanted to discuss some gotchas with regard to 2FA or MFA, the issues that come from over-reliance on 2FA, including some who believe it's the best thing ever, and we finally discuss other methods of 2FA that don't just require a PIN from a mobile device or token. We also discuss it's use with concepts like "beyondCorp", which is google's concept of "Software Defined Perimeter" that we talked about a few weeks ago with @jasonGarbis (http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-011-Software_Defined_Perimeter.mp3) This is a great discussion for people looking to implement 2FA at their organization, or need ammunition if your boss thinks that all security is solved by using Google Auth.

One of our Slackers (people who hang with us on our Slack Channel) mentioned that he was writing exam materials for one of the programs created by the UK Government to train high school and/or people headed to university in skills without the traditional 4 year education track. I was very intrigued by this, since we don't appear to have anything like this, outside of interning at a company, which means you're not considered a full-time employee, have no benefits, and there's no oversight about what you are learning. (Your mileage may vary) So we asked Liam Graves (@tunnytraffic) to come on and discuss his experience, and how he was enjoying it. We discuss various methods of alternative educations here and in the UK, as well as why someone should possibly consider an apprenticeship. We also discuss how that would work in the US (or could it?) Also, I very sorry Ireland ... :) I did not mean to lump you in the rest of the Commonwealth...

We talked with Jason Garbis this week about Software Defined Perimeter (SDP). Ever thought about going completely without needing a VPN? Do you think I just made a crazy suggestion and am off my medications? Google has been doing it for years, and organizations like the Cloud Security Alliance are expecting this to be the next big tech innovation. So much so, that they are already drafting version 2 of the SDP guidelines. So after talking with a friend of mine about how they were trying to implement it, he suggested talking to Jason, since he was on the steering committee for it. While Jason does work for a company that sells this solution, our discussion with him is very vendor agnostic, and he even discusses an open source version of SDP that you could implement or test out as a PoC (details in show notes below). This is a great topic to stay on top of, as one day, your CTO/CIO or manager will come by and ask about the feasibility of implementing this, especially if your company assets are cloud based...  So have a listen!

Wikileaks published a cache of documents and information from what appears to be a wiki from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This week, we discuss the details of the leak (as of 11Mar 2017), and how damaging it is to blue teamers. To help us, we asked Mr. Dave Kennedy  (@hackingDave) to sit down with us and discuss what he found, and his opinions of the data that was leaked. Mr. Kennedy is always a great interview, and his insights are now regularly seen on Fox Business News, CNN, and MSNBC. Dave isn't one to rest on his laurels. For many of you, you know him as the co-organizer of #derbycon, as well as a board member of #ISC2.  We ask him about initiatives going on with ISC2, and how you (whether or not you're a ISC2 cert holder). You can help with various committees and helping to improve the certification landscape. We talk about how to get involved. We finish up asking about the latest updates to DerbyCon, as well as the dates of tickets, and we talk about our CTF for a free ticket to DerbyCon.   Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2017-009-dave_kennedy_vault7_isc2_derbycon_update.mp3 Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqXGGg7-BlM iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2017-009-dave-kennedy-talks-abotu-cias-vault7-isc2/id799131292?i=1000382638971&mt=2   #Bsides #London is accepting Call for Papers (#CFP) starting 14 Febuary 2017, as well as a Call for Workshops.

Bryan had the pleasure of attending his 3rd Bsides Seattle a few weeks ago. Lots of great speakers, great discussion. We have 3 interviews here this week: Justin Case (@jcase) discusses some of his talk about hacking the Google Pixel, an HTC produced phone. We discuss why Android gets the 'insecure' moniker by the media, and whether it's warranted or not. Next, Sam Vaughn (@sidechannel_org) talks about setting up the Crypto Village, why he does it, and what you can learn by solving these puzzles. Finally, Matt Domko discusses his experiences with Bro, as well as using Bro for packet analysis and what is needed when analyzing packets...

Joel Scambray joined us this week to discuss good app design, why it's so difficult, and what can be done to fix it when possible. Joel also co-authored many of the "Hacking Exposed" series of books. We ask him about other books that could come from the well known series. We also ask about why the #infosec person often feels like they need to protect their organization to the expense of our own position (or sanity) and how we as an industry should be not 'in front of the train', but guiding the train to it's destination, one of prosperity and security. Conversely, we also discuss why some positions in security are so short-lived, such as the role of CISO.   From SC magazine (https://www.scmagazineuk.com/joel-scambray-joins-ncc-group-as-technical-director/article/634098/): "Security expert and author, Joel Scambray, has joined NCC Group as technical director. He will be based at the Austin, US office. Scambray has more than 20 years of experience in information security. In his new role, he will work with some of the company's biggest clients using his experience in business development, security evangelism and strategic consultancy."

Mick Douglas is always great to have on. A consummate professional, and blue team advocate for years now, he teaches SANS courses designed to help defenders against the forces of the red team, pentesters, and even bad actors. But this week, we have a different Mr. Douglas.  This week, he's here to talk about sales tactics, #neuro #linguistic #programming, leading the question, and other social engineering techniques that salespeople will do to get you to buy maybe what your company doesn't need, but thinks it does. We have some good times discussing ways to ensure the buying of your new shiny box at work goes more smoothly, what you should look out for, and ways to tell if they are over-selling and under-delivering. Also, Mick has been working on a project near and dear to his heart. After discussing with @carnal0wnage a year or so back, he's fleshed out a spreadsheet that tracks attack vectors, and depending on what controls are in your environment, can show you how well a particular attack is against your environment. This would be a great asset to blue teams who might want to shore up defenses, especially if they are vulnerable in a particular area. Mr. Douglas is looking for comments, suggestions, and additions to his spreadsheet, and you can even download a copy of the Google Doc to try in your own environment, free of charge.

Developers use it to create additional protections, or even to create defenses to ward off potential attack vectors.

Amanda Berlin attended Shmoocon this year, and sat down with a few people. She discussed a bit with John about what HackEd is about (http://hackeducate.com/) Amands writes: "I had an amazing time at my 3rd #Shmoocon. I was able to interview a handful of really cool people working on several different types of infosec education. I was able to watch a few talks, spend some time in the lockpick village, as well as go to Shmoocon Epilogue. It’s always amazing to watch people talk about what they are passionate about, and Shmoocon is a great relaxed environment where that happens frequently."

In your environment, you deal with threats from all over the world. Many groups out there pool resources to help everyone deal with those #threats. Some come in the form of threat #intelligence from various intelligence companies, like #Carbon #Black, #FireEye, and #Crowdstrike. But what if your company cannot afford such products, or are not ready to engage those types of companies, and still need need protections? Never fear, there are open source options available (see show notes below). These products aren't perfect, but they will provide a modicum of protection from 'known' bad actors, SSH trolls, etc. We discuss some of the issues using them, discuss how to use them in your #environment. Lastly, we discuss #mentorship. Having a good mentor/mentee relationship can be mutally beneficial to both parties. We discuss what it takes to be a good mentee, as well as a good mentor...

We start Brakeing Down Security with a huge surprise! A 3rd member of the podcast! Amanda #Berlin (@infosystir) joins us this year to help us educate people on #security topics. During the year, she'll be getting us some audio from various conventions and giving us her perspective working as an #MSSP, as well as a blue team (defender). We start out talking about new #California #legislation about making #malware illegal. What are politicians in California thinking? We work through that and try to find some understanding. With all the various secure messaging systems out there, we discuss how why secure messaging systems fail so poorly with regards to #interoperability and the difficulties in getting average non-infosec people to adopt one. We also discuss #Perfect #Foward #Security and how it prevents people from decrypting old messages, even if the key is compromised. ---------- HITB announcement: “Tickets are on sale, And entering special code 'brakeingsecurity' at checkout gets you a 10% discount".

It's the final episode of the the year, and we didn't slouch on the #infosec. Mr. Boettcher discussed what should happen when we find risk and how we handle it in a responsible manner. I also issue an 'open-letter' to C-Level. We need C-Levels to listen and accept the knowledge and experience of your people. Infosec people are often the only thing keeping a company from making the front page, and yet are still seen as speed bumps. We also discuss some the previous episodes of the year, some recent developments to build our #community, like our book club and upcoming #CTF club. Plus, there is one other surprise, but you'll have to wait until our next episode to find out!   Enjoy our final episode of 2016.

 "Always Be Closing" is the mantra that Alec Baldwin's character "Blake" intones in the movie "#GlenGarry #Glen #Ross". Ironically, the film about 4 men selling was a failure in the theaters. A lot of times as #blue #teamers, we find ourselves in the sights of a #sales person, or often enough, we are inviting them into our conference rooms to find out how their widget will help save the day. There's an art to the concept of selling, honed over the past 500,000 years, since Ugg tried to convince Oog that his wheel would revolutionize work... We asked Ms. Amanda Berlin (@infosystir) to join us this week, for her expertise at working at an security company, as well as someone who sells products, to discuss how and why sales and sales engineers do what they do. I posit that there must be 'decision tree' or script that most follow in an effort to make a sale, and how to confront the pushy sales pitch head on, or in Amanda's way, to avoid it altogether. We discuss Amanda's book she co-wrote with Lee Brotherston, whom we've had on our show before.

As part of our ongoing discussion about the #SDLC and getting security baked in as far left as possible, Joe Gray, host of the  Advanced Persistant Security #Podcast (find it at https://advancedpersistentsecurity.net/), Mr. Boettcher, and I sat down with Dr. Gary McGraw, author of "Software Security: Building Security In" to discuss his book. We are also doing this book as part of the Brakeing Security Book Club (check out our #Slack channel for more information). Gary walks us through the 7 Kingdoms of getting more security in, including doing automated and manual code audits, proper penetration testing of the application at various stages (testing), documentation (if you don't know it works, how can you test it?), and your Security Operations people, monitoring for things once it goes into production.  Also, find out what Chapter he thinks you should skip altogether... the answer may surprise you... :) Join Mr. Gray, Mr. Boettcher, and I for a discussion with a true leader in the software and application security industry.

Just a quick episode this week... As part of the Brakesec Book Club (join us on our #Slack Channel for more information!) we are discussing Dr. Gary McGraw's book "Software Security: Building Security In" (Amazon Link: https://is.gd/QtHQcM) We talk about the need to inserting security into your company's #SDLC... but what exactly can be done to enable that? I talk about abuse cases, #risk #analysis, creating test cases, pentesting, and #security #operations are all methods to do so. Finally, I discovered a blog talking about ways to discover configuration errors on Linux systems that might allow #privilege #escalation to occur.

This week, Mr. Boettcher found himself with an interesting conundrum concerning what happened when he converted a Windows DOCX file to a PDF using a popular #PDF converter software. We discuss what happened, how Software Restriction Policy in Windows kept him safe from a potential malware infection, and about the logging that occurred. After that, we discuss some recent vulnerabilities, like the BlackNurse Resource Exhaustion vulnerability and how you can protect your infrastructure from a DDoS that can occur from someone sending your firewall 300 packets a second... which anyone can do. We discuss Robert Graham's recent run-in with a new surveillance camera and how it was pwned in less time than you think. And learn about the 'buenoware' that has been released that 'patches' IoT and embedded devices... But does it do more harm than good, and is it legal?

During a Security Incident, or in the course of an investigation, it may become necessary to gather evidence for further use in a possible court case in the future. But if you don't have 4-10,000 dollars USD for fancy forensic software, you'll need to find methods to preserve data, create proper integrity, and have a proper custody list to show who handled the data, how it was collected, etc. This podcast was not meant to turn you into an expert, but instead to go over the finer points of the process, and even where you should turn to if you need help.

We always even reviewing the BSIMM report, because it's an unvarnished, and a good measure of a good number of industry verticals, like finance, manufacturing, cloud, and even companies that make IoT devices. Join Mr. Boettcher and I this week as we go over the findings of the report, discuss what got better, what still sucks, and what shouldn't we fault companies for not having. We also have a teachable moment when I discuss a security paux fas that happened to me (Bryan) recently regarding an email account and my Skype. 2 factor authentication is your friend, and if it's available, use it. Mr. Boettcher discusses some recent malware that has reared it's ugly head, and how to detect it.

Join us for a special episode this week! I (Bryan) was able to attend my first Source Seattle convention. Two days of talks, technical and non-technical, combining red/blue team concepts, as well as professional development, to help you navigate the corporate waters easier. I was able to interview a number of people from the conference. You can see a partial list of them here: http://www.sourceconference.com/single-post/2016/09/30/SOURCE-Seattle-Highlights Interviewed Chip McSweeney from OpenDNS (@chipmcmalware) and Rob Cheyne about the conference and got a bit of information about Chip's talk on "Domain Generating Algorithms" (DGA) that #malware use for domain C&C, and how to detect and reverse certain algos. Rob Cheyne is the organizer of Source, so we talked a bit about the history and difficulties putting on 3 of these a year, and what makes the "Source" conference format so different. Masha Sedova was one of the keynote speakersto discuss how she gamified her information security program and got everyone involved. Really excellent talk about changing organizational behavior. Rob Fuller gave two days of Metasploit training, to show the versatility and to teach about the effectiveness of this tool. I also ask if Metasploit has reached it's end, since it's easily detected in many environments. Rob is a great interview and gives me his unvarnished opinion. Mike Shema from https://cobalt.io/ discussed expanding and tailoring your bug bounty program to suit your organization and to ensure that your bug bounty program is mature. Using private bug bounties, and ensuring proper follow through in a timely manner can ensure maximum bang for the buck. Last but not least, Deidre Diamond who did a keynote about 'Words to Stop Using now'. Deidre is the CEO of a national cyber security staffing company (Cyber Security Network) and Founder of a not-for-profit that empowers women in the infosec industry. Hear her thoughts on how leadership training is needed in the corporate environment, I ask her why we still need recruiters with hiring sites and why job descriptions are still a thorn in everyone's sides.

Ben Johnson has been around the industry for a good while, and has seen a lot of ugly things in our industry. Ben had written a recent blog post (https://www.carbonblack.com/2016/08/12/benvlog-3-negative-forces-driving-security/) detailing the issues that seem to plague many companies and many people in the infosec community. We talked about these issues in depth, and how companies and even the employees in a company can ease some of their burdens, and how they can make some changes to make your company culture better.   Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-041-Ben_johnson.mp3 iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2016-041-ben-johnson-company/id799131292?i=1000376744922&mt=2 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrTPH97-YIY   #SoundCloud: https://www.soundcloud.com/bryan-brake Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security #Podcast on #Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ #Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr #TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582

If you work in a #DevOps environment, you're on one side of the fence... you're either with the devs, you have freedom to make changes, and everything is great. If you're on the Security and/or Compliance side, it's a desolate wasteland of watching people play fast and loose with policies, no one documenting anything, and you're seen as a 'barrier' to getting the new hotness out. But does it have to be that way? This week, we sat down with DevOps veterans Gene Kim and Josh Corman to discuss how we can make security, compliance, and DevOps to play nice with one another.

Mr. Brian Boettcher and I had a great time at DerbyCon. We met so many people and it really was excellent meeting all the fans who came up and said "Hello" or that they really enjoyed the #podcast.  It is truly a labor of love and something that we hope everyone can learn something from. We got some audio while at lunch at #Gordon #Biersch talking about log monitoring inspired by @dualcore's talk on #Anti-Forensics talk (http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/derbycon6/310-anti-forensics-af-int0x80-of-dual-core) and how to evade log monitoring with Mr. Brian Boettcher and Michael Gough. (shout-out to @mattifestation, @dualcore, @baywolf88, @carlos_perez) We sat down with Mr. Osman (@surkatty) from the Sound Security Podcast (@SoundSec), who was a first time attendee to #DerbyCon. We get his thoughts about DerbyCon and what talks he enjoyed. Finally, our 2nd Annual podcast with our fellow podcasters was on.

Nick Selby (@nselby on Twitter) is an independent consultant who works a wide variety of jobs.  During a recent engagement, he ran into an interesting issue after a company called him in to handle an incident response. It's not the client, it was with the Managed Security Service Provider (#MSSP). His blog post about the incident made big news on Twitter and elsewhere. Nick's Blog Post: https://nselby.github.io/When-Security-Monitoring-Provides-Neither-Security-Nor-Monitoring/ So, we wanted to have Nick on to discuss any updates that occurred, and also asked an MSSP owner, Kevin Johnson, from SecureIdeas (@secureideas on Twitter), as Kevin is well versed with both sides, being a customer, and running an MSSP with his product, Scout (https://secureideas.com/scout/index.php) We go over what an MSSP is (or what each person believes an MSSP is), we discuss the facts from Nick and his client's side, we try and put ourselves in the shoes of the MSSP, and if they handled the issue properly. We also find out how Nick managed to save the day, the tools they used to solve the problem.  We did a whole podcast on it, and maybe it's time to re-visit that... Finally, we discuss the relationship between an MSSP and the customer, what expectations each party should see from each other, and what are the real questions each should ask one another when you're searching out an MSSP.

Paul Coggin is my SME when I need to know about anything network #security related. And this time, we wanted to have him on our show to discuss Software Defined Networking (#SDN) Software defined networking allows for applications to make connections, manage devices and even control the network using #APIs. It in effect allows any developer become a network engineer.  Obviously this could be a recipe for disaster if the dev is not fully understanding of the rammifiications. And there's more good news (if you're a black hat), there's no role based security, parts of the #specification isn't fully fleshed out yet, and there are vendor specific frameworks of their own, that may not be fully interoperable with each other... Paul talks to us about some background of #SDN, some of the pitfalls and what you need to think about when implementing Software Defined Networking.   Links referred to in the Show: https://www.rsaconference.com/writable/presentations/file_upload/tech-r03-sdn-security-v3.pdf https://www.blackhat.com/docs/eu-14/materials/eu-14-Pickett-Abusing-Software-Defined-Networks-wp.pdf http://onosproject.org/2015/04/03/sdn-and-security-david-jorm/ https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~rishabhp/publications/Sphinx.pdf https://www.opendaylight.org/ https://www.opennetworking.org/certification Ras Pi as an OpenFlow controller: https://faucet-sdn.blogspot.com/2016/06/raucet-raspberry-pi-faucet-controlling.html Zodiac FX SDN boards (Excellent customer service!):  http://northboundnetworks.com/ Excellent site discussing SDN:  http://www.ipspace.net/Main_Page Coursera SDN course:  https://www.coursera.org/learn/sdn   Brakeing Down Security RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss Direct Link:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-035-Paul_Coggin_SDN.mp3 iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2016-035-paul-coggin-discusses/id799131292?i=1000374972931&mt=2 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuuNzeiexUY   #SoundCloud: https://www.soundcloud.com/bryan-brake Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security #Podcast on #Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ #Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr #TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582

Another great #rejectedTalk we found was from Sean Malone (@seantmalone on Twitter). The Cyber Kill Chain is a method by which we explain the methodolgy of hackers and the process of hacking. In this discussion, we find Sean has expanded the #killchain, to be more selective, and to show the decision tree once you've gained access to hosts. This expanded #killChain is also effective for understanding when #hackers are attacking specific systems, like #SCADA, or other specialized systems or networks, like the #SWIFT banking transfer. This discussion also is great for showing management the time and effort required to gain access to systems. We also talk about the #OODA loop (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop) and how disrupting that will often cause attacks to go awry or to be stunted, reducing the effectiveness. Sean T.

Bill V. (@blueteamer on Twitter) and was the 1st of a series we like to call "2nd Chances: Rejected Talks". Bill had a talk that was rejected initially at DerbyCon (later accepted after someone else cancelled)  Here is the synopsis of his talk that you can now see at DerbyCon: Privileged Access Workstations (PAWs) are hardened admin workstations implemented to protect privileged accounts. In this talk I will discuss my lessons learned while deploying PAWs in the real world as well as other techniques I've used to limit exposure to credential theft and lateral movement. I hope to show fellow blue teamers these types of controls are feasible to implement, even in small environments.  TechNet article referenced on the show: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/security/securing-privileged-access/privileged-access-workstations Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-033-PAWs-Bill_Voecks-Rejected_Talks.mp3 RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2016-033-privileged-access/id799131292?i=1000374432509&mt=2 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DwR9RcEBo0   #SoundCloud: https://www.soundcloud.com/bryan-brake Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security #Podcast on #Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ #Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr #TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582

Co-Host Brian Boettcher went to BlackHat and Defcon this year, as an attendee of the respective cons, but also as a presenter at "Arsenal", which is a venue designed to show up and coming software and hardware applications. We started off by asking him about his experiences at Arsenal, and how he felt about "Hacker Summer Camp" Our second item was to discuss the recent Brakesec PodCast CTF we held to giveaway a free ticket to Derbycon. We discussed some pitfalls we had, how we'll prepare for the contest next year, and steps it took to solve the challenges. The final item of the night was about travel security, since the Olympics are on, and there was a report about Olympic athletes who were robbed at gunpoint. We discuss safety while traveling, keeping a low profile, reducing risk, and reminding you to leave the overly Patriotic shirts and apparel at home.   Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-032-Defcon-blackHat_debrief-travel-security_CTF-writeup-final.mp3 iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2016-032-blackhat-defcon-debrief/id799131292?i=1000374155086&mt=2 YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df-JL-PiGus   #SoundCloud: https://www.soundcloud.com/bryan-brake Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security #Podcast on #Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ #Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr #TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582

A couple of weeks ago, we discussed on our show that not all incident response events required digital forensics.  We got quite a bit of feedback about that episode, so in an effort to address the feedback, we brought Brian Ventura on. Brian has 20+ years in Information Technology, ranging from systems administration to project management and information security. He is an Information Security Architect in Portland, Oregon and volunteers as the Director of Education for the Portland ISSA Chapter. Brian holds his CISSP and GCCC, as well as other industry certifications. As the Director of Education, Brian coordinates relevant local and online training opportunities. We discuss definitions of what digital forensics are, and how that term really has a broad range for classification. Brian will be teaching SEC566 in Long Beach in September.

In the last few years, security researchers and hacker have found an easy way of gaining access to passwords without the use of dumping the Windows hash table. When improperly configured, the passwords are stored in memory, often in plain text.   This week, we discuss Mimikatz, and methods by which you can protect your environment by hardening Windows against such attacks.   Links to blogs: https://www.praetorian.com/blog/mitigating-mimikatz-wdigest-cleartext-credential-theft http://blog.gojhonny.com/2015/08/preventing-credcrack-mimikatz-pass-hash.html https://jimshaver.net/2016/02/14/defending-against-mimikatz/  Praetorian Report on pentests: http://www3.praetorian.com/how-to-dramatically-improve-corporate-IT-security-without-spending-millions-report.html Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-030-Defense_against_Mimikatz.mp3 YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QueSEroKR00 iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2016-030-defending-against/id799131292?i=1000373511591&mt=2 #SoundCloud: https://www.soundcloud.com/bryan-brake Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security #Podcast on #Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ #Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr #TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582    

Jarrod Frates (@jarrodfrates on Twitter) has been doing pentests as a red-team member for a long time. His recent position at #InGuardians sees him engaging many companies who have realized that a typical 'pentest #puppymill' or pentest from certain companies just isn't good enough. Jarrod has also gone on more than a few engagements where he has found the client in question has no clue of what a 'real' pentest is, and worse, they often have the wrong idea of how it should go. This week, I sat down with Jarrod, and we talked about what needs to occur before the pentest, even before you contact the pentesting firm... even, in fact, before you should even consider a pentest.  We discuss what a pentest is, and how it's different from a 'vulnerability assessment', or code audit. Jarrod and I discuss the overarching requirements of the pentest (are you doing it 'just because', or do you need to check a box for compliance).  We ask questions like Who should be involved setting scope?  Should #Social #Engineering always be a part of a pentest? Who should be notified if/when a #pentest is to occur? Should your SOC be told when one occurs? What happens if the pentest causes incident response to be called (like if someone finds a malware/botnet infection)? And how long do you want the engagement to be? And depending on the politics involved, these things can affect the quality of the pentest, and the cost as well... It was a great discussion with Jarrod, a seasoned professional, and veteran of many engagements. If your organization is about to engage a company for a pentest, you'd be wise to take a moment and listen to this.

Long time listeners will remember Ms. Cheryl #Biswas as one of the triumvirate we had on to discuss #mainframes and mainframe #security. (http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-008-mainframe_secruity.mp3) I was interested in the goings on at BlackHat/DefCon/BsidesLV, and heard about #TiaraCon (@tiarac0n on Twitter). I went to find someone involved to understand what it was all about, and Ms. Cheryl reached out. She's an #organizer and was more than happy to sit down with me to understand why it was started. This is its inaugural year, and they already have some excellent schwag and sponsors. This is not just an event for ladies, but a way of #empowering #women, creating #mentorship opportunities, and assistance for people moving into the #infosec industry. Also, since Ms. Cheryl's loves discussing #ICS and #SCADA problems and headaches, we got into the headaches, #challenges, and maybe some 'logical' solutions to fixing SCADA vulns... but does the logical approach work in a business sense?

Mr. Boettcher is back!  We talked about his experiences with the #DFIR conference, and we get into a discussion about the gap between when incident response is and when you're using #digital #forensics. Mr. Boettcher and I discuss what is needed to happen before #incident #response is required. We also discuss the Eleanor malware very briefly and I talk about finding Platypus, which is a way for you to create OSX packages using python/perl/shell scripts.

 Adam Crompton (@3nc0d3r) and Tyler Robinson (@tyler_robinson) from Inguardians came by to fill in for my co-host this week. We talk about things a company should do to protect themselves against data exfil. Adam then shows us a tool he's created to help automate data exfil out of an environment. It's called 'Naisho', and if you're taking the 'Powershell for Pentesters' class at DerbyCon, you'll be seeing this again, as Adam will be co-teaching this class with Mick Douglas (@bettersafetynet). Tyler tells us about using Cobalt Strike for creating persistent connections that are more easily hidden when you are on an engagement.   Adam's demo can be found on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/rj--BfCvacY Tyler's demo of Throwback and using Cobalt Strike can be found on our YouTube Channel: Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-026-exfiltration_techniques-redteaming_vs_pentesting-and-gaining_persistence.mp3   SoundCloud: https://www.soundcloud.com/bryan-brake Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security Podcast on #Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ #Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr #TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582/

The windows registry has come a long way from it's humble beginnings in #Windows 3.11 (Windows for Workgroups).  This week, we discuss the structure of the Windows registry, as well as some of the inner workings of the registry itself. We also discuss where are some good places to find malware, some of the key values that you can find in the #registry and their meanings. We also discuss what atomicity is and how the registry is a lot like a database in how it functions. And no podcast about Windows #forensics should be done without talking about a tool, and our friend David #Longenecker (@dnlongen on Twitter) created a cross-platform tool that allows you to take exports of the registry and analyze them without need to be physically on the host. You can find reglister here: http://www.securityforrealpeople.com/2015/08/introducing-new-forensics-tool-reglister.html   We finish up discussing our #DerbyCon giveaways and a peek at what will be a very interesting podcast next week.

We are pleased to introduce Ms. Kim Green (Twitter: @kim1green). She is the CEO of KAZO Security, as well as the CISO/CPO of Zephyr Health, a #SaaS based #Healthcare data #analytics company.  She brings over 20 years of experience in healthcare and leadership to help small and medium business companies get help from a #CISO to assist in an advisory role. Ms. Green also started a bug bounty program at Zephyr Health to assist them in shoring up their application, finding #vulnerabilities that their internal teams may have missed. We are going to discuss with her why they decided to make it a private bug bounty, and what was the result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbW777t1tTA -- more about the bug bounty We also discuss why#HIPAA seems to be so far behind in terms of being able to protect #PHI/#PII and what if anything can be done to fix it.  http://www.darkreading.com/analytics/hipaa-not-helping-healthcares-software-security-lagging/d/d-id/1322715 We finish up discussing a recent news story about the how the National Football League (#NFL) team Washington Redskins had a trainer lose a laptop with the PII and health information on several thousand NFL players.

Picture yourself in the middle of a security incident... A malware infection, or you have hosts on your network are part of a botnet.  You figured out where how the malware is communicating with the command and control servers, but if you just kill the connection, the malware stop functioning.  What do you do? In some cases, you might be able to employ a DNS #sinkhole to route traffic harmlessly to  or through a honey network that can be used to further analyze things like #infection vectors, #protocols, commands, and #network movement. You can also use #DNS sinkholing to disable the malware if certain conditions are met. Like most tools, sinkholing can be used for good, but there are legal issues if it's used incorrectly.  We discuss some of the legalities. It won't disable all malware or exploit kits, but for some infections, this is another tool in your toolbox you can employ. In a continuation from last week's show with Earl Carter about the #Angler #Exploit Kit, we discuss how Angler is able to bypass #EMET and #ASLR protections... https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2016/06/angler_exploit_kite.html Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-023-DNS_Sinkholes2.mp3 iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2016-023-dns-sinkholing/id799131292?i=1000370572088&mt=2 YouTube: https://youtu.be/67huikA2QFg   Links we used to discuss sinkholing: Basic sinkhole app using BIND: https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/DNS+Sinkhole+ISO+Available+for+Download/9037/ *UPDATED literally hours after I posted this show*  Version 2.0 of the DNS sinkhole ISO: https://isc.sans.edu/diary/21153     http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/dns-sinkhole   https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/60/pan-os/newfeaturesguide/content-inspection-features/dns-sinkholing   https://www.sans.org/reading-room/whitepapers/dns/dns-sinkhole-33523   http://www.darkreading.com/partner-perspectives/general-dynamics-fidelis/principles-of-malware-sinkholing/a/d-id/1319769   Blackhole DNS servers -- http://www.malware-domains.com/   or http://www.malwaredomains.com/ http://handlers.dshield.org/gbruneau/sinkhole.htm Malware blackhole DNS campaign (2013) - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/511780/dns-sinkhole-campaign-underway-for-cryptolocker/   http://www.darkreading.com/risk/microsoft-hands-off-nitol-botnet-sinkhole-operation-to-chinese-cert/d/d-id/1138455   http://someonewhocares.org/hosts//  -massive dns sinkholing list   Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr #TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582/   images: Image: https://www.enisa.europa.eu/topics/national-csirt-network/glossary/files/dns_sinkhole

Earl Carter spends all day researching exploit kits and using that information to protect customers from various malware payloads that spread ransomware.  This week we sit down with him to understand the #Angler EK. He starts us off with a history or where it came from and how it gained so much popularity, evolving from earlier EKs, like #BlackHole, or WebAttacker. We even discuss how it's gone from drive-by downloads, to running only in memory, to being used in malvertising campaigns. We even get to hear about how the creators "rent" out the EK, and how they also control the malvertising side as well. Great insights into how the EK eco-system operates... We talk about some of the vulns used by exploit kits. Contrary to popular belief, the vulns used don't always have to be 0day. Blue teamers will learn valuable insights in protecting your networks from this EK.

Ben Johnson (@chicagoben on Twitter) has spent a good deal of time working on protecting client's endpoints. From his work at the NSA, to being the co-founder of Carbon Black (@carbonblack_inc). We managed to have him on to discuss EDR (#Endpoint Detection and Response), TTP (#Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures), and #Threat #Intelligence industry. Ben discusses with us the Layered Approach to EDR: 1. Hunting 2. Automation 3. Integration 4. Retrospection 5. Patterns of Attack/Detection 6. indicator-based detection 7. Remediation 8. Triage 9. Visibility We also discuss how VirusTotal's changes in policy regarding sharing of information is going to affect the threat intel industry.

Dr. Matt Miller is a professor at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. We had him on to discuss a matter that seems to weigh heavily on the infosec community. What will a CS degree get you? What are you learning these days as a future code jockey? Is skipping college altogether better? We discuss what he does to arm future developers with the tools necessary to get a job. We hear about what they also might be lacking in as well. Dr. Miller is also spearheading a new cybersecurity degree track at his university. We discuss what it's like to head that up, and we even get into a bit of discussion on Assembly language. ASM book used in the above class: http://www.drpaulcarter.com/pcasm/ Download here: http://www.drpaulcarter.com/pcasm/pcasm-book-pdf.zip We also discuss free alternatives for learning out there, and how effective they are.   Show notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Grimx_OCSURTktzM5QRKqsG9p9G5LljdleplH1DZQv4/edit?usp=sharing   Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-020-College_vs_Certs_vs_self-taught.mp3 iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2016-020-college-vs.-certifications/id799131292?i=1000369124337&mt=2 YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqJHxwXNn7guMA6hnzex-c12q0eqsIV_K RSS FEED: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss   Dr. Miller's CSIT-301 course on Assembly: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSIXOsmf9b5WxCMrt9LuOigjR9qMCRrAC   Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake @milhous30 #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582/

Procurement is a process. Often a long drawn out, tedious process, but it is necessary to ensure that hardware and software is going to be what works in your organization. We go over what is necessary to make sure your procurement is as smooth as possible. Some of the topics we discuss include: 1. Aligning business goals and operational goals 2. How to discuss ROI with management 3. Getting actionable information for business requirements from affected parties 4. Steering yourself away from confirmation bias or optimism bias, and ensuring you're thinking critically when comparing the current status quo vs. a new solution 5. Information you might want to gather from potential vendors to make a more informed decision as to whether their product is the one you want And finally, we discuss how to handle the dread vendor demos. There may be a number of them, and they are arguably the best method of knowing the software or hardware is going to work for you. This is a topic that affects everyone, whether you are a manager, or a user of the technology involved. We also like to remind people that our DerbyCon CTF and raffle are still going on. There is plenty of time to get involved if you want a chance to get a ticket to Derbycon 2016!

Windows has all the tools you need to secure an OS, but we rarely use them.  One example of this is 'Software restriction policies'. Which is a method by which you can block certain files from being saved anywhere, what file types can be executed in a directory, and can even whether or not you should allow software to install. We also discuss the use of parental controls as a cheap, easy method of restricting users to access certain websites, installing software from iTunes store, or restricting access to certain functions or applications. Also, the 2nd clue for our CTF can be found in this podcast... see if you can find the giant clue... :) **NOTE: We had an issue with Mr. Boettcher's Windows 10 install, he's using Windows 10 Home, which does not appear to have Applocker or Software Restriction Policy by default.  So, I cut a lot of us bickering^H^H^H^H discussing how to get it to work, so the middle around 25:00 mark will feel a tad off. Apologies... I should have stopped recording.   Links referred to during the podcast: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831534.aspx http://mechbgon.com/srp/  - LOL, mentions the use of ‘parental controls’ to restrict systems http://www.instructables.com/id/Getting-past-Software-Restriction-Policies/ http://www.itingredients.com/how-to-deploy-software-restriction-policy-gpo/ https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/keep-secure/using-software-restriction-policies-and-applocker-policies   Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-018-software_restriction_policy-applocker.mp3 #iTunes Link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2016-018-software-restriction/id799131292?i=1000368338483&mt=2 #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/podcasts/portal/#p:id=playpodcast/series&a=100584969     Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast RSS FEED: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582/

You might have heard "Network when you can, not when you have to..." The art of network is creating connections and nurturing relationships that benefit everyone. This week we discuss building networks, creating people networks that allow for free sharing of ideas and knowledge. Whether it be a professional organization,like ISSA or ISC2 meetings, or you just get a bunch of people together to have coffee on a Saturday morning. We also brainstorm ideas on how people in our community keep their skills sharp, and why some seem to allow them to atrophy once they get a specific certification or degree. We cite examples of things and actions that allow you to gain more knowledge, and to ensure your company will still see you as an SME. CPEs can be gained in the most simplest of methods. Just by listening to this podcast, for example, you can receive one CPE (1 hour = 1CPE) there are many other ways of getting them. and we cite several in this podcast. We also discuss the continued use of unsalted, weakly hashed passwords in systems, and why a recent breach of a custom Minecraft implementation allowed it to occur. Story: http://news.sky.com/story/1687550/minecraft-hack-exposes-seven-million-passwords But I think the most exciting part of the podcast is theannouncement of the 1st annual Brakeing Down Security PodcastCTF!The details can be found in the podcast.  Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-017-Networking-Podcast_CTF-salted_hashes.mp3 #Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/music/podcasts/portal/#p:id=playpodcast/series&a=100584969 #iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2016-017-art-networking-salted/id799131292?i=367885714&mt=2   Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast RSS FEED: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582/

Angler, Phoenix, Zeus... all famous exploit kits that are used to move malware into your environment. This week, Mr. Boettcher and I discuss the merits of Exploit kits, how they function and what can be done to stop them. They are only getting more numerous and they will be serving more malware to come. We shift gears and discuss the 'talent gap' the media keeps bringing up, and whether it's perceived or real. We discuss the industry as a whole, and what caused the gap, and if it will get better... *BONUS*... after the audio, listen to me (Bryan) failing at understanding buffer overflow exercises I'm doing as part of my #OSCP certification...
