It's that time again!  With milestone episode 40, we have another Tabletop D&D episode for you to enjoy!  This time around we are joined by a few members of the Rally Security podcast to face some scenarios and see how they fare.  Let's just say this was a rather impressive episode for a number of reasons.

Over the past few months, John has been working on obtaining his OSCP certification.  Recently he attempted and successfully passed the exam!  In this episode he goes over his journey, what he learned as well as a few tips to help those attempting this rather difficult certification.

The cyber kill chain.  For some, it's a nice framework to help build your defenses and help during an incident.  For others, it is an over hyped and rigid list that no real attacker follows anymore.  However you view the cyber kill chain, it is a strong pillar within Infosec, especially when it comes to defending your network.  Amanda Berlin joins me today to talk about the cyber kill chain, what it is and how to disrupt attacks using it!

Living off the land is a term well understood by both offensive and defensive teams.  For offensive teams, it's meant by using the technologies already present on the system, such as Powershell, Python, and even Perl for those who like a challenge (or are facing an older Unix system).  On the defensive side, enhanced logging and locked down configurations are put in place to detect and prevent the use of these tools by malicious actors to either catch or prevent these actors from doing harm. Nathan Kirk (@sekirkity) joins me this week to talk about the concept behind "Bring Your Own Land". Some links of interest:

Capture The Flag games, or CTFs, are a popular way for infosec pros to brush up on the offensive skills.  From VulnHub to HackTheBox, there are a few different ways to quote "get your hack on"!  Derek Rook (@_r00k_) joins me today to talk about CTFs and how they can assist in your Infosec journey, regardless of your role.

From jails to virtual machines, process isolation is the "holy grail" of security.  Lately, containers have been the go-to for modern organizations in order to scale and implement things like microservices.  Jay Beale of InGuardians fame joins me to talk all about container security!

Living off the land is pretty standard fare for pen testers.  On Linux systems, the go-to is usually Python, but on Windows it's all about Powershell.  This week I'm fortunate enough to sit down with Mick Douglas to talk all things Powershell! Some links of interest:

Continuing on with my fireside chat series, where I bring on a guest to just have a casual chat and see where the conversation takes us, my guest this time is Deviant Ollam.  Well known for his work with TOOOL and the locksport community, we take a different path and talk about physical penetration testing as well as hear some great stories from the road.

The penetration test, or pen test as it's commonly referred to, is one of the great necessary evils in Infosec today.  My guest for this episode is Adrian Sanabria, who has an interesting thought - let's kill the pen test!  Adrian has been in the industry for quite some time in quite a variety of roles, so he has some great experience and insights to share.  Let's see what his replacement for a pen test entitles!
