  • Great Podcast

    If you’re an old(er) network engineer and you’ve had your head stuck in the sand for the past 10 years (like I have) this is a great way to catch up with the current state of programming.

    I found David’s podcast advertised on the GNS3 website and I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve listened to so far and I’ve already learned a lot.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#569: Why Vibe Hacking Is a Big Cybersecurity Threat in 2026
Q: Yeah, all I had had written here, Vibe Coding. But you in your report talk about Vibe Hacking, and you kind of, I think, alluded to that already, right?
Pascal explains that attackers can leverage AI to learn, automate the boring parts of hacking, and launch complex attacks with minimal skill, effectively lowering the barrier to cybercrime and expanding the threat surface.
#564: Hackers can bypass Your MFA In 2026 (And How To Stop It)
Q: Is MFA enough to keep me safe in the real world?
Not entirely. Attackers can still bypass MFA via cookie theft, token theft, phishing that captures credentials, or MFA bombing; layered security including device identity, network controls, and careful threat modeling is necessary.
#564: Hackers can bypass Your MFA In 2026 (And How To Stop It)
Q: What is 2FA and MFA, and how do they differ?
2FA/MFA combine something you know (a password) with something you have (an app, a token, or a hardware key) to verify identity. They are not foolproof, but they add a critical layer of protection that significantly slows attackers.
#567: Why Power Is Becoming a Major Problem for AI in 2026
Q: Can you talk more about the AI factory?
The AI factory is a complete, out-of-the-box solution that combines compute, storage, Cisco networking, and Cisco security, designed to simplify deployment and manage the full AI stack securely at scale across different footprint sizes.
#562: Warning and demo: It's possible to Prompt Engineer Malware
Q: What are you going to show us?
They demonstrate how to prompt engineer malware using a language model, showing both the capabilities and the gaps in guardrails, including live scripts and how prompts can be manipulated to bypass safety features.
