I recently had the opportunity to shoulder-surf with some seasoned Webapp pentesters, and wanted to share what I learned about their tools, techniques and methodologies.

Here are some of my fav' stories and links for this week! * Burn it all...The New Security Fundamentals **(Wednesday, January 20 @ 1 p.m. CST)**: a free Webinar on setting up the "*core technical things you need to do for your security program*." I've attended many Webinars from the BHIS group and they're always informative and humorous. * Real World Web Penetration Testing **(Thursday, January 28 @ 1 p.m. CST)**: a $25 Webinar on going through "*a real world penetration test. We will explore the methodology and procedures Secure Ideas follows as we test web applications. The course will also walk through some tricks and tips on how to focus your testing on likely flaws*." I have seen four of their recorded courses before and found them to be *absolutely* worth the money I spent, so I'm confident this upcoming session will be no exception. * Fortinet SSH backdoor not much to say except if you use any of the affected products, update immediately as they contain an SSH backdoor: * FortiOS v4.3.17 or any later version of FortiOS v4.3 (available as of July 9, 2014) * FortiOS v5.0.8 or any later version of FortiOS v5.0 (available as of July 28, 2014) * Any version of FortiOS v5.2 or v5.4 * Hacker sentenced to 334 years in prison for operating a phishing Web site similar to that of a legit banking Web site. Moral of the story? Don't do that. * Don't use IE 8, 9 or 10 anymore! unless you like to live dangerously.

This off-topic episode covers: * Media servers - I'm a newb in this area and could use your help in setting up a config that actually works! * Making a Murderer - this is a fantastic documentary on Netflix. Stop what you're doing (once you listen to this episode) and watch *immediately* please.

Happy (belated) new year! This episode is more of a "What am I listening to, a PBS telethon?!" kind of thing, and I'm sorry for that. But I want to cover: * Scheduling changes for 2016 - we're gonna be 3 times a week! * A new documentation project I'm working on called BPATTY (Brian's Pentesting and Technical Tips for You) * A way you can support the podcast financially.

This episode talks about some cool video games I've been playing lately: * Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain (Xbox 360) * Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox 360) * Luminocity (iPhone) * Super Mario Maker (Wii U) I recommend 'em all!

Back in episode #93 I talked about securing your life - in other words, asking yourself "What would happen if I was dead right now? Do I have adequate insurance? Are my finances in order? How about estate planning?" This episode continues that train of thought, and I share some new changes I've made in my "life security" department.

Looks like I'm one of the few people in the world who did NOT love this movie. I found it painful slow and claustrophobic. #diappointed.
