Jay Beale discusses his K8s class at BlackHat, Kubernetes developments, and mental health
Saison 2024
jeudi 17 juillet 2025 • Durée 01:48:38
Youtube Video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHPvGVfPgjI
Jay Beale is a principal security consultant and CEO/CTO for InGuardians. He is the architect of multiple open source projects, including the Peirates attack tool for Kubernetes (in Kali Linux), the Bustakube CTF Kubernetes cluster, and Bastille Linux. Jay created and leads the Kubernetes CTF at DEF CON and previously helped in the Kubernetes project's Security efforts. He's co-written eight books and given many public talks at Black Hat, DEF CON, RSA, CanSecWest, Blue Hat, ToorCon, DerbyCon, WWHF, HushCon and others. He teaches the highly-rated Black Hat class, "Attacking and Protecting Kubernetes, Linux, and Containers." He has served on the review board of the O'Reilly Security Conference, the board of Mitre's CVE-related Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language, and been a member of the HoneyNet project. He's briefed both Congress and the White House.
Questions and topics: (please feel free to update or make comments for clarifications) * Kubernetes vs. Docker vs. LXC vs. VMs - why did you settle on K8s? * What's new with k8s? Version 1.33? Do you always implement the latest version in your CTF, or something that is deliberately vulnerable? (https://www.loft.sh/blog/kubernetes-v-1-33-key-features-updates-and-what-you-need-to-know) * When you are making a CTF, what's your methodology? Threat model then verify? Code review? Github pull requests? * Story time; Not the first year you've done this(?), have participants ever surprised you finding something you didn't expect? * If I'm running K8s at my workplace, what should be bare minimum k8s security I should implement? Any security controls that I should implement that might cause performance or are 'nice-to-have' but may run counter to how orgs use k8s that I should be concerned about implementing?

Questions and topics:
Let's talk about Mindful Business Podcast
What's the topics you cover?
Topic #1: discuss your experiences when you were a new leader.
What worked? What didn't? What would you have done differently?
Do you emulate your manager's style? What have been your go-to management resources?
What is a good piece of advice that you've been given or that you impart to others that relates to leadership?
Topic #2: building/Operating SaaS products (we can discuss securing them, what functions should be table stakes (data structures, logging, etc)
Topic #3: What are bare minimums for building 'secure' Saas products in your particular field? And how do you balance security with a positive user experience (i. e. getting customers to buy into MFA/OAUTH, OTA updates
Topic #4: Do many SaaS products get over-integrated? Is the need for integration override best practices in security?

2021-011- Dr. Catherine J Ullman, the art of communication in an Incident - Part 2
Saison 2021 · Épisode 11
dimanche 21 mars 2021 • Durée 45:37
In this episode:
knowing your audience - discussing the IR impact how did this happen? how deep do you want to tailor your potential discussion? Every level must be asking "what, when, why, how?", not just those in the trenches does the level of incident mean that communication scales accordingly?
And much more!

I always tell people my computer journey started at 14, but it really started at 5th grade (have a good story to tell about this)
Was a bad student in my ninth grade year - almost kicked out of high school due to cutting. Had a 1.7 GPA. After my summer internship turned it around to a 4.0.
Once I graduated from high school, I knew I wanted to continue on the path of computers. Majored in Computer Science
Graduated with Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science. Graduate Certificate in Information Security and Privacy. Minor in Math.
Interested in security from a Yahoo! Group on Cryptography. Liked how you can turn text into gibberish and back again.
Became interested in penetration testing after moving to Charlotte, and moonlighted as a QA while a full-stack developer.
Co-workers did not want me to test their code because I would always find bugs.
Moved into penetration testing space.
Always had an interest in mobile, but never did mobile development and decided it wasn't for me
Became interested in bug bounties and noticed that mobile payouts were higher.
At this time also completed SANS 575 - Mobile Device Security and Ethical Hacking. Realized the barrier to entry was VERY (almost non-existent) low in Android as it's open source.
Started to learn/expand mobile hacking on my own time
The threat exposure is VERY high with mobile hacking. As you have a web app component, network component, and phone component. I always reference a slide from Secure Works.

2021-007-News-Google asking for OSS to embrace standards, insider threat at Yandex, Vectr Discussion
**consider this a primer for any class you might teach, a teaser, if you will**
Why do we want to be able to reverse engineer APKs and IPKs?
Android APKS (Android Packages) holds the source code to the application. If you can reverse this you will essentially have the keys to the kingdom. Developers and companies (if they're proprietary) will add obfuscation - a technique to make the code unreadable to thwart reverse engineers from finding out their code.
What are some of the structures and files contained in APKs that are useful for ppl analyzing binaries?
Android applications have to have a MainActivity (written in Java). This activity is the entry point to the application.
Android applications also have an AndroidManifest.xml file which is the skeleton of the application. This describes the main activity, intents, service providers, permissions, and what Android operating system can run the application.
When testing apps for security, how easy is it to emulate security and physical controls if you're not on a handset?
Pretty easy. You can use an emulator. I must forewarn though - you will need A LOT of memory for it to work effectively.
Are there ever any times you HAVE to use a handset? An app that tests something like Android's Safetynet and won't run without it? Do they ever want perf testing on their apps?
Was thinking about how you check events in logs, battery drain, using apps on older Android/iOS versions?
When organizations or developers ask you to test an app, is there anything in particular in scope? Out of scope?
How do progressive web apps differ than a more traditional app?
Lab setup
IntroToAndroidSecurity VM
Android Emulator
Tools to use
Why use them? (free, full-featured)
Setup and installation
OS-specific tools?
Tools used - Frida, Jadx-GUI (or command line), text editor. All of these items are free.
No setup required if using my virtual machine :-)
These apps are OS specific if you choose Linux or Windows.
Callbacks
Methodology
Decompile the application - can use a tool titled - Apktool (free)
Look "under the hood" of the application - Jadx-GUI (Graphical User Interface) or Jadx-CLI (command line)
Connect your emulator/device using Android Debug Bridge (adb)
Get version of Frida on device
Look online to find correct version of Frida **this is important**
Start to play around with the tool and see if you receive error messages/prompts. Can then go back to code that was reverse engineered and see where it's located.
Best practices
Leave no stones unturned! Meaning you might see something that seems too rudimentary to work - and yet it does.
Cert pinning -
Typical issues seen
Hard-coded passwords, data that is not being encrypted in rest or transit.

Security metrics are essential to comprehensive network security and CSA management. Without good metrics, analysts cannot answer many security related questions. Some examples of such questions include "Is our network more secure today than it was before?" or "Have the changes of network configurations improved our security posture?"
The ultimate aim of security metrics is to ensure business continuity (or mission success) and minimize business damage by preventing or minimizing the potential impact of cyber incidents.
