  • 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.

#574: Hacking Windows Active Directory in 10 minutes
Q: OK, if someone wants to learn how to do this themselves, what should they study or pursue first?
Start with practical, structured certifications like PNPT and CRTO, and use hands-on labs or platforms to explore AD security topics before attempting broader red-team techniques.
#574: Hacking Windows Active Directory in 10 minutes
Q: What are the three parts of this attack you demonstrated?
There are three parts: the control path, the certificate abuse, and the elevation to domain admin to own the whole domain.
#574: Hacking Windows Active Directory in 10 minutes
Q: So, you are basically probing the domain for bad permissions.
The goal is to identify users or groups with permissions that could be leveraged to pivot, elevate privileges, or expand access, setting up a potential control path for later exploitation.
#571: Google Big Sleep: The End of Human Hackers?
Q: How do you balance rapid AI-driven testing with governance and avoiding scope creep in offensive security engagements?
Maintain clear rules of engagement, use human-in-the-loop validation, and employ guardrails and prompts to keep agents within defined scopes while continuously monitoring for hallucinations and misbehavior.
#568: 5-Minute Cyber Hacks Everyone Should Know (2026)
Q: How can organizations defend against these kinds of attacks?
By preventing unauthorized software execution, validating sources, digitally signing software, using tools like VirusTotal for safe checks, and implementing policy-based controls with EDR/NGFW to block or monitor suspicious activity.
