Shifts in DEF CON: Community and Government Dynamics

In this week's episode, Specter recaps his experiences at Hardwear.IO and a PS5 hypervisor exploit chain presented there. We also cover some of the recently released DEF CON 32 talks. After the conference talk, we get into some filesystem exploit tricks and how arbitrary file write can be taken to code execution in read-only environments.
