Alright, so we dove deep into some pretty wild stuff this week. We started off talking about zip files inside zip files. This is a variation of old-school zip file tricks, and the latest method described here is still causing headaches for antivirus software. Then we geeked out about infrared signals and the Flipper Zero, which brought back memories of the TV-B-Gone. But the real kicker was our discussion on end-of-life software and the whole CVE numbering authority mess. Avanti's refusal to issue a CVE for their end-of-life product sparked a heated debate about cybersecurity accountability and conflicts of interest.

Every week here on the show we talk about vulnerabilities and exploits. Typically we recommend that organizations remediate these vulnerabilities in some way. But how? And more importantly, which ones? Some tools we have to help us are actually not all that helpful at time, such as:
Mitre Att&ck - Don't get me wrong, this is a great project and Adam and team is doing a great job. However, its not a complete picture as we can't possibly know about every attack vector (or can we?). People seem to think if they cover everything in the framework they will be secure. You can't cover everything in the framework because each technique can be utilized by an attack in a hundred different ways. CVSS - Anyone can apply a score, but who is correct? Good that we have a way to score things, but then people will just use this as a basis for what they patch and what they do not. Also, chaining vulnerabilities is a thing, but we seem to lack any way to assign a score to multiple vulnerabilities at once (different from a technique). Also, some things don't get a CVE, how are you tracking, assessing risk, and patching these? CISA KEV - Again, love the project and Tod is doing amazing work. However, what about things that do not get a CVE? Also, how do you track every incident of an attacker doing something in the wild? Also, there is frequency, just because something got exploited once, does that mean you need to patch it right away? How are we tracking how often something is exploited as it is not just a binary "yes, its exploited" or "no, it is not". EPSS - I do like the concept and Wade and Jay are doing amazing work. However, there seems to be a "gut reaction" thing going on where we do see things being exploited, but the EPSS score is low. How can we get better at predicting? We certainly have enough data, but are we collecting the right data to support a model that can tell us what the attackers will do next?This week: YAVD: Yet Another Vulnerable Driver, why bring your own when one already exists, backdoors in MIFARE Classic, wireless hacking tips, AMD sinkclose vulnerability will keep running, you down with SLDP yea you know me, Phrack!, IoTGoats, Pixel vulnerabilities, leaking variables, a DEF CON talk that was not cancelled, Telnet is still a thing, More CNAs, and the last thing Flint Michigan needed was a ransomware attack!

Early on in his career Spaf was working with microcode and continued to work on technical projects. As time went on he realized that focusing on the non-technical work, such as policies and shaping our thinking, would help move the needle. Borrowing concepts from his book on the subject, we will delve into some cybersecurity myths such as: Are users really the weakest link? Are cybersecurity vendors truly incentivized to provide better security? Do we agree on what cybersecurity really means? - Do not miss this segment!
This week: Option ROMS are a novel way to compromise a system at the lowest level, Sinkclose opens AMD processors up to attacks, at home in your firmware exploiting SMM complete with examples, Sonos speakers get hacked and enable attackers to listen in on your conversations, DEF CON badges use new chips and are not without controversy, lasers that can steal your passwords, it was a regex, Larry updates us on some IoT research, attackers have your SSN, and more updates from last week's hacker summer camp!
