In this episode of Security Headlines, we are joined by a great mind in the   memory security space. A spark was created when Theofilos peaked    into the realms of security. So he packed his bag and got to the next plane to the US in order to deep-dive more into the security field during   his studies. He became fascinated by the world of writing exploits   and "smashing the stack" as we say in the hacking field.  He is a    brilliant guy when it comes to memory attack and he has co-written a    solution that solves the stack canary problem.    We had the chance to sit down with Theofilos Petsios and     get to hear his view on security, development and a lot more.   That you can tune into right here:   Stack canaries is a security mitigation technique that has been widely   adopted and you will find it in most systems today. But does it really work?   Topics that we touch upon in this episode:     Stack canaries    Address layer space randomization    Blind Return Oriented Programming (BROP)    Return Oriented Programming     Static code analysis     Rest in peace Andrea Bittau     security mitigations    Write Xor Execute(W^X)    Dynaguard    Where stack canaries fail and the operating systems approach to it.   hardening systems   where the future of security is going   CVE's over time    Memory corruption bugs    builtin security in the compilers     Security vs Overhead    Using memory in the Thread-local storage adoption of security mitigations    stack clash    Pin, Intel's dynamic binary instrumentation framework      Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency    whitepapers and Proof of concepts     Fuzzing     building better security tools     Cost vs benefit in the security field      Switching from userspace to kernel space mitigations    linters     secure codebases     formal verifications    "Stack canaries is just one little stone, one a the beach that keeps getting hit by big waves" External links https://twitter.com/theofilospe    https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~theofilos/files/slides/dynaguard.pdf https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~theofilos/files/papers/2015/dynaguard.pdf http://www.scs.stanford.edu/brop/    http://www.scs.stanford.edu/brop/bittau-brop.pdf    https://github.com/nettrino/DynaGuard     https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/pin-a-dynamic-binary-instrumentation-tool.html    https://github.com/nezha-dt/nezha     https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html      https://github.com/nettrino/vimconf   https://capsule8.com/blog/millions-of-binaries-later-a-look-into-linux-hardening-in-the-wild/ https://youtu.be/Er44ur7wkXQ?t=44

Jonas Lejon is an amazing mind in the Swedish security world. A    great entrepreneur, hacker, and security-expert!    We had the pleasure of talking with him in this episode of Security Headlines. he wanted to specialize in security so he packed his bag and headed over   to the capital city to work more in-dept with security.  He wanted to    go deeper and deeper, so spent his extra hours learning the assembly programming  and getting into the low-level brain of the computer system.  He managed   to land a job working for the Swedish version of NSA.   Jonas now runs his own company called "Triop" and has a lot of fun side   projects that we dig into. In this episode we also cover:     Micro blogging   building search engines  bloggz dot se Getting over 20K users within a few weeks Twitter in the early days   Building Sweden's biggest micro-blogging platform testing in production    WordPress Security    bug bounties Finding security holes in Zoom writing about encryption and security fuzzing Hacking Bluetooth     ISOC-SE the swedish top level domains .se and .nu  the internet in Sweden      beatboxing  pentesting    enumerating existing users based on validation time  updated, security by default systems    network logging    Programming    leaving python 2 Customizing Kali linux   Time-of-check to time-of-use attacks  writing exploits  ## External links:    https://triop.se    https://kryptera.se     https://web.archive.org/web/20081102073248/http://bloggz.se/      https://web.archive.org/web/20110630210858/http://bloggy.se/    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memcached      https://wpsec.com/     https://utvbloggen.se/     https://se.linkedin.com/in/jonaslejon     https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI49rLPi_Lbbux5eo8ewLKA      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Aitel      https://github.com/SofianeHamlaoui/Spike-Fuzzer      https://isoc.se/      https://internetstiftelsen.se/en/      https://www.netnod.se/      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_Linux      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Fire      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-check_to_time-of-use      https://github.com/juliocesarfort/public-pentesting-reports      https://www.hackerone.com/      https://www.bugcrowd.com/      https://twitter.com/jonasl
