Episode Synopsis
Intro We're breaking ground with this episode, folks! For the first time in 7MS history, we've got a guest on the show (finally, right?!). Rob Sell is an IT manager who has been working in IT for many years, with a focus on information security specifically for the last 4 years. He recently came home from Defcon 25 with a third place in the SE CTF. Rob sat down with me to discuss the CTF, how to make an outstanding CTF audition video, OSINT tools/tips/techniques, the value of tech/security certifications, career advice, and more! Interview notes and links Here's Rob's Defcon CTF audition video EchoSec helps you see a geographical area at a certain point in time. According to the Web site, EchoSec is "the most comprehensive social sentiment tool on the market" - hmmmm, seems like a great SE tool! X-Ray is "a tool for recon, mapping and OSINT gathering from public networks." Michael Bazzell's Web site has online training, free tools and other goodies. Michael also has some books. Christopher Hadnagy has a podcast that's strictly focused on SE. He's also got some books. ArcGIS isn't necessarily labeled as an SE tool, but can certainly be used for SE efforts.
