2016-003-Antivirus (...what is it good for... absolutely nothing?)

#Anti-virus products... they have been around for as long as many of us have been alive. The first anti-virus program, "The Reaper" was designed to get rid of the first virus 'The Creeper' by Ray Tomlinson in 1971.
This week, we discuss the efficacy of anti-virus. Is it still needed? What should blue teamers be looking for to make their anti-virus work for them.  And what options do you have if you don't want to use anti-virus?
We also argue about whether it's just a huge industry selling snake oil that is bolstered by #compliance #frameworks, like #PCI?

2016-002-Cryptonite-- or how to not have your apps turn to crap

This week, we find ourselves understanding the #Cryptonite that can weaken devs and software creators when dealing with #cryptographic #algorithms and #passwords. Lack of proper crypto controls and hardcoded passwords can quickly turn your app into crap.
Remember the last time you heard about a hardcoded #SSH private key, or have you been at work when a developer left the #API keys in his #github #repo?
We go through some gotchas from the excellent book "24 Deadly Sins of Software Security". Anyone doing a threat analysis, or code audit needs to check for these things to ensure you don't end up in the news with a hardcoded password in your home router firmware, like these guys: https://securityledger.com/2015/08/hardcoded-firmware-password-sinks-home-routers/

2015-054: Dave Kennedy!

#Dave #Kennedy does a lot for the infosec community. As owner/operator of 2 companies (Binary Defense Systems and Trusted Security), he also is an organizer of #DerbyCon and active contributor to the Social Engineering ToolKit (#SET).  You can also find him discussing the latest hacking attempts and breaches on Fox News and other mainstream media outlets.
But this time, we interview Dave Kennedy because he has been elected to the ISC2 board. He will be serving a 3 year term with Wim Remes (who we interviewed a couple of weeks ago) and others to improve #ISC2 processes, and to make #CISSP and other certs more competitive in the #infosec/IT community.
And yes... we find out about what is going on with DerbyCon and get some updates with what will happen in the next DerbyCon.

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.

2015-052: Wim Remes-ISC2 board member


I got a hold of Mr. Wim Remes, because he was elected to the ISC board in November 2015.  Having certified as a CISSP myself, and having seen a lot of changes in the way that the CISSP has changed.
Recent changes to the CISSP included changing the long-standing 10 domains down to 8 domains, plus a major revamp to all of them.
I wanted to know what Mr. Remes' plans were for the coming term, how the board works, and how organizations like ISC2 drive change in the industry. I also asked Wim how he is trying to ensure that CISSP and the other certs are going to remain current and competitive.
This is a great interview if you're looking to get your #CISSP or any other ISC2 cert, or you currently have an #ISC2 #certification and want to get knowledge of the workings of ISC2 and the board.
