Episode 18. - Eat Your Own Dog Food - Talking Tools with Roelof Temmingh

Web browsing can be a fundamental part of an OSINT investigation. Isolating your browser in such a way that doesn't "cross-pollinate" with the host operating system can be a critical part of keeping yourself safe and maintaining the integrity of your investigation. In this episode we get to hear from Kasm! Kasm is a container streaming solution that allows users to spin up individual apps (web browsers, Telegram, Discord, and so on) or entire Linux desktops in their cloud. You interact with those sessions in browser, thus allowing complete isolation between your host system and what is happening in that session. They offer personal SaaS solutions, Enterprise SaaS solutions as well as a self-hosted option.

The best Social Engineers do a tremendous amount of research before engaging a target. As luck would have it, we get to speak with one of them today! Chris and I talk about the pivotal role of OSINT in preparing for an SE engagement and also get a "peek behind the curtain" in relation to OSINT sources during a Social Engineering "capture the flag" style competition.  Chris Kirsch is the CEO of runZero (www.runzero.com), a cyber asset management company he co-founded with Metasploit creator HD Moore. Chris started his career at an InfoSec startup in Germany and has since worked for PGP, nCipher, Rapid7, and Veracode. He has a passion for OSINT and Social Engineering. In 2017, he earned the Black Badge for winning the Social Engineering capture the flag competition at DEF CON, the world’s largest hacker conference. If you'd like to learn more about Chris and the organizations he advocates for:Defcon 2022 OSINT & vishing research: https://medium.com/@chris.kirsch/top-osint-sources-and-vishing-pretexts-from-def-cons-social-engineering-competition-8e08de4c8ea8Winning call from DEF CON SECTF 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhE372sqURUExternal perimeter recon using runZero: https://www.runzero.com/blog/external-scanning/Competitive Intelligence talk at Layer 8 Conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB-wLadJ3hkFacebook Talent Intelligence Collective: https://www.facebook.com/groups/talentintelligencecollectiveNational Child Protection Task Force (NCPTF): https://www.ncptf.org/Twitter profile: https://twitter.com/chris_kirschMastodon profile: https://infosec.exchange/@chris_kirschLinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ckirsch/Chris' company: https://www.runzero.com/Want to learn more about Open Source Intelligence?Follow us on Twitter: @TraceLabsJoin our Discord server: https://tracelabs.org/discordCheck out the site: https://tracelabs.org

In this bonus episode, Tom Hocker and Rae Baker sit down to talk about their respective journeys in to infosec. Getting in to Infosec can seem challenging but if these two can do it so can you. With a little bit of forward momentum and a clear goal in mind you can pretty much achieve anything.Rae on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wondersmith_raePre-Order Rae's Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1119933242/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i0 Tom on Twitter: https://twitter.com/human_decodedTom and Rae would both like it if you considered supporting Operation Safe Escape and the great work they do:Operation Safe Escape - https://safeescape.orgOperation Safe Escape Donations - https://funraise.org/give/Operation-Safe-Escape/ca21cf2f-52c3-45c0-af23-fe9441b7b0b6Want to learn more about Open Source Intelligence?Follow us on Twitter: @TraceLabsJoin our Discord server: https://tracelabs.org/discordCheck out the site: https://tracelabs.org

#Hack4Good can come in many different forms. The team from Operation Safe Escape works in the same "space" as Trace Labs but with a different mission. They're focused on assisting the survivors of domestic violence escape their situation and stay safe in a digital world that makes tracking and control easier than it's ever been. In this episode, I talk with some of the OSE team about the organization, how they operate and what it takes to make a Safe Escape from an abusive situation.
