2016-016-Exploit Kits, the "Talent Gap", and buffer overflows

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...

Here is a new episode of Brakeing Down Security Podcast!

2015-053: 2nd annual podcaster party

This week, we went off the tracks a bit with our friends at Defensive Security Podcast, and PVC Security Podcast. We discussed a bit of news, talked about how our podcasts differ from one another, the 'lack of infosec talent', and sat around talking about anything we wanted to.
Sit back with some eggnog, and let your ears savor the sounds of the season.  Many thanks to Andrew Kalat, Jerry Bell, Edgar Rojas, Paul Jorgensen, and co-host Brian Boettcher for getting together for some good natured fun.
WARNING: There is adult language, and themes, so if you have little ones around, you might want to skip this one until after bedtime.
Happy Holidays from Brakeing Down Security Podcast.
