In this episode, James sits down with Silas Cutler, Principal Security Researcher at Census and founding member of Oni Scans, to explore his unconventional journey through threat intelligence and malware analysis. What happens when your first day as a SOC analyst takes down a Fortune 500 company—and Anonymous gets the credit?
From accidentally causing international headlines to going undercover in ransomware gangs, Silas has built a career on creative problem-solving and community building. He's become Facebook friends with hackers he investigates, created Malshare (a community malware repository), and founded B-Sides Pyongyang—a security conference celebrating "Missile Industry Day" that started as a joke but attracted 490 attendees.
