Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 24: Security Researchers "vs." Open Source Software with solst/ICE!
Q: Should security researchers be encouraged to provide patches for vulnerabilities they find in open source software?
Encouragement is good, but the expectation may be impractical due to the complexity of the code and ability to provide effective patches.
Episode 24: Security Researchers "vs." Open Source Software with solst/ICE!
Q: Do open source software developers have an ethical responsibility to protect their users?
Yes, anyone writing code ethically wants to protect everyone using that code, though funding constraints are a significant issue.
Episode 23: War Stories with Brendan Dolan-Gavitt (XBOW)!
Q: Do you see AI powered platforms like XBOW getting to the point where they could reasonably replace human pen testers entirely?
While AI has advanced significantly, it still cannot fully replace human pen testers due to the complexities of comprehensive testing across entire attack surfaces.
Episode 16: War Stories with Andrew Wilson!
Q: How do you feel about the industry's evolution regarding handling vulnerabilities?
I think there has been a shift from a defensive to a more constructive approach towards security vulnerabilities in organizations.
Episode 16: War Stories with Andrew Wilson!
