Speaker 1: All right what comes up so 228. Starting off security
Speaker 1: news there's a new physical evil made attack against Windows
Speaker 1: and Linux systems that lets an attacker bypass the lock
Speaker 1: screen for a system in under five minutes basically just
Speaker 1: allows you to if you have any time with a
Speaker 1: computer you can basically. Take the keyboard off make a
Speaker 1: connection and. Get full access to the system just completely
Speaker 1: bypassing the initial security log in screen. And the research
Speaker 1: will be shown at this year's blackout conference which along
Speaker 1: with DEF CON is now virtual. Major ransomware attack has
Speaker 1: been launched against private legal firm that does work for
Speaker 1: top TV and movie celebrities including people like Nero the
Speaker 1: weekend David Letterman. They're threatening to release over a terabyte
Speaker 1: of dirt on the clients unless law firm pays the
Speaker 1: ransom and they have a history of doing this and
Speaker 1: actually releasing data. So it's it's not a idle threat
Speaker 1: looks to be real. Clear View ISIS. It's only going
Speaker 1: to sell services to government related customers from now on
Speaker 1: no more private sales think this is interesting but I
Speaker 1: wonder if that'll be enough to stop the deluge of
Speaker 1: lawsuits that have already come inbound. Probably not.
Speaker 2: Black Hat and DEF kind of gone virtual this year.
Speaker 2: I've mentioned at the beginning don't go to Vegas. It
Speaker 2: really is canceled this time. Officials in Seoul every closed
Speaker 2: their bars and definitely because somewhere between 27 and 40
Speaker 2: new cases of covered 19 were associated with people gathering there.
Speaker 2: So they locked it down. Things got good. They opened
Speaker 2: it back up and sure enough people started getting sick
Speaker 2: again and they have good contact tracing and good testing
Speaker 2: which is how they know we don't have that in
Speaker 2: the US. So really worry about places like Florida and
Speaker 2: Texas who are going to open things up without being
Speaker 2: able to monitor how bad it gets. The U.S. Army
Speaker 2: is using an MMO Cold War Thunder to train cavalry
Speaker 2: troops during the quarantine. The game allows soldiers to get
Speaker 2: familiar with multiple roles in a way that's difficult and
Speaker 2: expensive to do in real life. You can do a
Speaker 2: swap in and swap out and different stuff and learn
Speaker 2: different positions. It's pretty cool. A cyber security company in
Speaker 2: Israel says a group of hackers called Nikon which is
Speaker 2: thought to be associated with the Chinese military has released
Speaker 2: a new tool called Area body. They say the tool
Speaker 2: uses multiple techniques to make it easy to gain control
Speaker 2: over systems and remain undetected which is the goal of
Speaker 2: a lot of malware but evidently it's pretty good package.
Speaker 2: Of 5G conspiracy theorists spat on you broadband engineer. In London.
Speaker 2: Basically they were in line at a coffee shop and
Speaker 2: they saw. That the person the engineer had the logo
Speaker 2: of this sub pub and company on their jacket. They
Speaker 2: got in a fight with him and evidently spat in
Speaker 2: his face. In the end up getting super SEC which
Speaker 2: he of course thinks is probably coronavirus. And meanwhile 77
Speaker 2: 5G towers have been attacked throughout the U.K. by similar
Speaker 2: type folks. Peace Games are struggling with a rise in
Speaker 2: cheating related to the pandemic and a massive surge in players.
Speaker 2: My buddy Jason and I created the last big game
Speaker 2: security framework a few years back and we're trying to
Speaker 2: address this in kind of a structured way. But it's
Speaker 2: currently on hold while he works on actual gaming company
Speaker 2: can't really participate in that stuff or is there. Zoom
Speaker 2: its purchase key base which has confused a lot of
Speaker 2: people in the industry including me. And the crux thinks
Speaker 2: it's actually a signal that they're not going to let
Speaker 2: someone like China gain access to the data. So they're
Speaker 2: basically saying look we're going to end the encryption everywhere.
Speaker 2: No one should have access to your data. Not thought
Speaker 2: a lot about that but it seems like a smart
Speaker 2: theory advisories we brought in as a critical vulnerability patch
Speaker 2: immediately if you have it. Cisco's patch multiple high severity
Speaker 2: volumes in security products. There's a one in the mass
Speaker 2: owners attack to send some phones. So from one to
Speaker 2: patch that one and SVP has some phones in its
Speaker 2: cloud products technology news. Tesla just reopened its Fremont factory
Speaker 2: today against the orders of the county. And this is
Speaker 2: after Musk said he's leaving California for Texas or Florida
Speaker 2: because they actually allow people to go back to work.
Speaker 2: And I think that these types of outbursts seem to
Speaker 2: be a common downside of having that much creativity and
Speaker 2: eccentricity and hopefully he'll settle down soon. And definitely if
Speaker 2: we see data that opening back up is actually hurting
Speaker 2: people hopefully then he'll change his tune. Amelia raised 20
Speaker 2: million to use A.I. for customer support. But don't worry.
Speaker 2: All those millions of customer service people can probably just
Speaker 2: pivot to coding right. Learn to code. I really don't
Speaker 2: get that argument no sarcasm anyway. Amazon has just released
Speaker 2: Kendra which is kind of like their take on Splunk
Speaker 2: when we powered by the back end of A.I. and IP.
Speaker 2: So you're supposed to be able just ask your question
Speaker 2: in a natural way. I think is very sci fi
Speaker 2: of them. What I really like about them the kind
Speaker 2: of like they just do constant mugshots. So you're supposed
Speaker 2: to be able to just type in what you're looking
Speaker 2: for in whatever language. And have it magically come back
Speaker 2: with the answer. All I can really say about this
Speaker 2: is it is likely to be really bad in the
Speaker 2: beginning without even having seen it. And it's probably likely
Speaker 2: to get better. And the fact that they're even trying
Speaker 2: and it's exciting I'm really happy that companies like Splunk
Speaker 2: and Amazon and Google are all competing on this. So
Speaker 2: really good for us as consumers. Someone created a modular
Speaker 2: synth called synth space in virtual reality. So put on
Speaker 2: the goggles go in there and you're actually turning the
Speaker 2: knobs and controlling the synthesizer just like a real deejay.
Speaker 2: I think that's really cool. I think the next version
Speaker 2: of hardware I'm definitely getting in next version of the
Speaker 2: hardware combined with you know some good games. I'm definitely
Speaker 2: getting an. Over 44 million U.S. adults are supposedly borrowing
Speaker 2: someone else's streaming account to high number 44 million. It's
Speaker 2: not a high number it's a large number. Right. Is.
Speaker 2: Finland is abandoning subject based learning and moving to phenomenal education.
Speaker 2: That's the brand. Phenomenal education where real world phenomenon are
Speaker 2: the foundation of learning the ideas to have the class
Speaker 2: explore a real world situation where like a job or
Speaker 2: a function or whatever. Think and to study that across
Speaker 2: all the different subjects of math science like life science
Speaker 2: whatever in Yeah it's based on constructivism which is the
Speaker 2: idea that you learn best by doing things as opposed
Speaker 2: to instructive ust which is I'm saying that right. It's
Speaker 2: where you just learn you know like buy books in
Speaker 2: an old style classroom. So they're going all in on
Speaker 2: this and abandoning their main subjects. It's gonna be really
Speaker 2: interesting to see the data on this in whatever 5
Speaker 2: 10 20 years.
Speaker 3: Your visits are down 40 to 50 percent and doctors
Speaker 3: are really concerned. The problem is a lot of those
Speaker 3: visits are strokes and heart attacks and the doctors are
Speaker 3: freaking out because they're like you know these aren't going
Speaker 3: to go down during a pandemic. They're still going to
Speaker 3: have him at home. They're not coming in that means
Speaker 3: they're you know going through this and they're either surviving
Speaker 3: or they're not thinks this is quite related to the
Speaker 3: other story in The New York Times from last week
Speaker 3: which showed that the percentage of people dying at home.
Speaker 3: Has gone up 50 percent and those numbers are not
Speaker 3: included in the corona virus numbers. But maybe maybe because
Speaker 3: of coronavirus they're not going that yard. Maybe more people
Speaker 3: are dying of term virus. You know some some combination
Speaker 3: of those two. New York Times did a great story
Speaker 3: on job loss in April which ended up being 20
Speaker 3: million jobs 20 million and a half actually. But the
Speaker 3: highlight was the data visualization that they used for the
Speaker 3: piece hits a chart showing losses and gains over time
Speaker 3: going back multiple decades. But has this massive red line
Speaker 3: that goes downwards on the right side of the page
Speaker 3: actually looks like a margin to the page looks like
Speaker 3: it's drawing it drawing a giant box around the story
Speaker 3: it's an actual to scale indicator of how much we've
Speaker 3: lost relative to previously. Really really cool NASA is making
Speaker 3: a serious attempt to land a human on the moon
Speaker 3: by the end of 2024. Ideas trends and analysis a
Speaker 3: three tiered approach to securing your home network. This is
Speaker 3: an essay I did last weekend and it blew up
Speaker 3: over the we can probably have like 10 20000 hits
Speaker 3: on it that really good really good feedback on that.
Speaker 3: And yeah it's a three tiered approach so it's got
Speaker 3: like a basic here's the first three things you do
Speaker 3: if you want to do intermediate here's the next three
Speaker 3: and then the advanced three. So it's nine different steps
Speaker 3: with the first three being the most important and then
Speaker 3: you get to Mission returns for the ones after. The
Speaker 3: first three are exactly what you would think. It's you
Speaker 3: know passwords patching. And in this case a recommended Malware
Speaker 3: bytes which evidently doesn't do so well compared to enterprise
Speaker 3: products but it's the best consumer one that I know of.
Speaker 3: And websites are all starting to look the same. That's
Speaker 3: a pretty cool piece that does some quantitative analysis on
Speaker 3: different works of websites and the colors they use in
Speaker 3: their structures. The VR winter by Benedict Evans talks about
Speaker 3: why VR is not taking off at this moment and
Speaker 3: what actually is going to be the moment if VR
Speaker 3: actually does have a moment like what's going to bring
Speaker 3: that on. And peloton continues to absolutely crush it. Revenue
Speaker 3: is up 66 percent over last quarter think it hits
Speaker 3: all the notes of exercise social interaction and a status
Speaker 3: symbol which means it's great for rich people and that's
Speaker 3: exactly who's buying it. And I was tricked into thinking
Speaker 3: I had grit critical essay here. Updates. So we just
Speaker 3: saw this article about the last unicorn it's kind of
Speaker 3: a feature piece talking about how awesome it was and
Speaker 3: that movie massively affected me as a kid. I also
Speaker 3: just watched the never ending story as well which I
Speaker 3: also hadn't done since childhood. I haven't actually seen Last
Speaker 3: Unicorn I'm gonna do that again probably soon. But the
Speaker 3: never ending story was particularly powerful for me. And I
Speaker 3: think it was part of the whole bridge between fantasy
Speaker 3: and reality that got me not to spoil anything. But
Speaker 3: I was absolutely devastated with it when a tree you
Speaker 3: lost his horse and the princess altered my universe long
Speaker 3: before I knew girls were even a thing. So I
Speaker 3: just lot of memories there and I'll be speaking at
Speaker 3: DEF CON this year at the Red Team village topic
Speaker 3: will be automating recon using Linux so it'll be virtual
Speaker 3: but I'll put out the details when I get them.
Speaker 3: Discovery Paquette a photographer who tinkers with time encouraging a
Speaker 3: culture of written communication within your business. Got a guy
Speaker 3: here who created a blog powered by Google Docs. That
Speaker 3: a piece here now is the perfect time to memorize
Speaker 3: a poem that might actually try this. And I haven't
Speaker 3: started listening yet but I just subscribe to a podcast
Speaker 3: called war on the rocks which is about security intelligence
Speaker 3: national policy that sort of thing got a guy who
Speaker 3: documents the set up of using mutt in vim for email.
Speaker 3: I've done this before and I really loved it. Now
Speaker 3: I'm hooked on superhumans. I don't know if I could
Speaker 3: try this celebrities or reading Harry Potter for the public
Speaker 3: vim as a markdown editor which is peace using a
Speaker 3: map as a lightweight volume scanner. SS age prank is
Speaker 3: a tool that it's basically an SSA scanner and banner
Speaker 3: grabber based on Python and mask n word scraper. This
Speaker 3: is super cool it's a selection based web scraper to
Speaker 3: generate password lists so you're trying to attack a website.
Speaker 3: It'll go through and scrape everything and build your word
Speaker 3: less that you can you know build a hybrid list
Speaker 3: out of to combine it with a bunch of other
Speaker 3: stuff like ABC 1 2 3 and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: JF patterns a bunch of content specific patterns for TomTom names.
Speaker 3: JF utility and some examples are SSR f or c
Speaker 3: e fi sequel ie. I adore you your l redirection
Speaker 3: debug logic etc.. And recommendations as many of you know
Speaker 3: I normally watch very little TV but I've used the
Speaker 3: lockdown as an excuse to binge basically anything of significant
Speaker 3: reputation and in my travels so far I've three recommendations
Speaker 3: for you. In this order after life by Ricky devs
Speaker 3: which is on effects and it's unbelievable and upload which is.
Speaker 3: Kind of my least favorite. It's not super serious but
Speaker 3: it's some pretty pretty good sci fi combined with a
Speaker 3: decent story. So go like all three of those definitely
Speaker 3: top heavy after life being the best and devs being
Speaker 3: really really good as well. Probably even better produced an
Speaker 3: afterlife and it just completely different animal. So definitely recommend
Speaker 3: those afterlife devs and upload in the less you know
Speaker 3: about them the better. Just trust me if you like
Speaker 3: the newsletter you like this podcast you'll probably love these
Speaker 3: as well. And the aphorism for the week success consists
Speaker 3: of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm
Speaker 3: success consists of going from failure to failure without loss
Speaker 3: of enthusiasm. Winston Churchill.
