Dear Friends,
The next episode of the
PCVSec podcast, the fourth in a collector's series, is upon
you!
This episode, a
Frankenstein's Monster of an episode, kicks off our series on
Getting to Know Your Network, plus:
- Why #GamerGate ticks Paul off, and
it's for all the right reasons
- Our first in an occasional yet
all-too-common series, Security Theater
- More acappella vocal styling from
our hosts
- And more!
As usual but more so, this episode
is brought to you by Tim's fine engineering work. Assembled
from parts of different recordings due to a variety of mishaps
(listen to Paul's great vocal special effects in the first
half), this edition is very much in the spirit of Mary
Wollstonecraft Shelley's Gothic novel yet less scary (singing
and Paul's rant aside).
Remember, this isn't your typical InfoSec
podcast. This isn't your typical management or business podcast
either. It is the PVCSec podcast.
Share & Enjoy!
- Ed's spreadsheet is here. The notes on
how to use it and the commands for Cisco kit are on the
third tab in the spreadsheet. The first tab is a sample,
and the second is a blank version.
- You can use the spreadsheet for other vendor's
gear, such as Juniper and HP. You will need to translate the
Cisco commands to your platform.
- Paul & Tim agree that Ed needs to do a
video of how to use the spreadsheet. If you agree, tweet it
with hashtags #edvid #askpvcsec.
- As Ed said, make sure you maintain discipline
while collecting information. Don't start analyzing the data
while you collect it.
- Paul's Security Theater pictures are
here and
here.
-
The passing of
Shon Harris. R.I.P. and Thank You. (My comments on
the podcast are poorly worded. I appreciate what Ms. Harris
did. That she earned a living from it makes it so much the
better, and I am better off for her having done it. -
Paul)
-
The passing of Elizabeth Pena. R.I.P. and Thank You,
too. She was in La Bamba and The Incredibles
and a ton of other movies and shows. She directed TV shows
as well. She went too soon.
- Paul's rant is about #gamergate. You can read
more about it here, here, and here and lots of other places on-line.
- Beware metaphors! Read How to Eat an
Elephant then listen to the last 120 seconds or so of the
podcast.
