  • An awesome security podcast about awesome security vulnerabilities!

    These guys know how to make security vulnerability discussions interesting, mixing in a healthy dose of humor along the way. Duane Laflotte is the GOAT of red teamers, Patrick Hynds’s analogies to explain security to non-technical folk are first-class, and Carl Franklin brings decades of software development expertise and at least one dad joke per episode. What a great way to keep up with what’s going on in the world of cybersecurity!

  • Fear and Comedy All-in One

    I’ve been listening to this show since day 1 and haven’t missed an episode. Love the banter in-between the security stories. Great analysis of the probable real impact of new threats as well as the official analysis and reports.

    The team take the time to expand on any acronyms and techniques being used in the security field so that everyone can follow along.

    Now go patch!
