Brand new podcast with the brilliant @amirian@infosec.exchange talking about stopping trust-based scams early in the attack chain.
We have a very fun new podcast coming for you tomorrow with Andrew Northern of @censys@infosec.exchange !
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
Our pals at @material_sec@twtr.plus
featured Decipher (and
@dennisf@infosec.exchange) in their latest episode of Security Theater, a series of unhinged videos making fun of all of our ol’ familiar cybersecurity tropes. Black hoodies and all.
And, we’re very hyped for Security Theater LIVE where Material will be hosting a live screening of Hackers in Austin, TX in April. An anonymous source tells me they’ll have games, prizes, swag.
Not our usual type of story, but a very cool story about an original phone phreaker.

Coming up tomorrow on the podcast: Legends Jeremiah Grossman @jeremiahg@bird.makeup and Robert Hansen
@rsnake@bird.makeup join @dennisf@infosec.exchange to talk about Jeremiah's car collection. Oh, and some vulnerability management stuff they're building @rootevidence@bird.makeup
Oh hey, new podcast is out. It's a fascinating conversation with former CIA officer and ODNI cybersecurity official Erin Whitmore. Very interesting story.
Thanks everyone! Cool to see people getting involved!
We were super stoked to get our wicked smart friend Melanie Ensign on this episode to talk about a very fun but flawed movie, THE SOCIAL NETWORK.
