Throwback Episode - ASW #178
It's another holiday week, so enjoy this episode from our archives! What does a collaborative approach to security testing look like? What does it take to tackle an entire attack class as opposed to fixing a bunch of bugs? If we can shift from vulnerability mitigation to vulnerability elimination, then appsec would be able to demonstrate some significant wins -- and they need a partnership with DevOps teams in order to do this successfully. Log4j has more updates and more vulns (but probably not more heartburn...), revisiting outages and whether availability has made it into your threat models, deep dive into hardware security, another data point on bug bounty awards, and looking at risk topics for the next year. This completes another year of the podcast! A very heartfelt thank you to all our listeners! And a special thank you and shout out to the crew that helps make this possible every week -- Johnny, Gus, Sam, and Renee. We'll keep the New Wave / Post-Punk, movie, and pop culture references coming for all the appsec and DevOps topics you can throw our way. Thanks again everyone!!

ASW #229 - Nick Selby
Organizations spend hundreds of work hours to build applications and services that will benefit customers and employees alike. Whether the application/service is externally facing or for internal use only, it is mandatory to identify and understand the scope of potential cyber risks and threats it poses to the organization. But where and how do you start with an accurate threat model? Nick can discuss how to approach this and create a model that's useful to security and developers alike. Segment Resources https://github.com/trailofbits/publications/blob/master/reviews/2022-12-curl-threatmodel.pdf Reddit's breach disclosure, simple vulns in Toyota's web portals, OpenSSL vulns, voting results for Portswigger's top 10 web hacking techniques of 2022, tiny IoT cryptography implementations, real world migration of a million lines of code Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/asw for all the latest episodes!

ASW #228 - Adrian Sanabria
Most of the myths and lies in InfoSec take hold because they seem correct or sound logical. Similar cognitive biases make it possible for even the most preposterous conspiracy theories to become commonly accepted in some groups. This is a talk about the importance of critical thinking and checking sources in InfoSec. Our industry is relatively new and constantly changing. Too often, we operate more off faith and hope than fact or results. Exhausted and overworked defenders often don't have the time to seek direct evidence for claims, question sources, or test theories for themselves.

Throwback Episode - Dev(Sec)Ops Scanning Challenges & Tips - ASW170
We're aren't recording this holiday week, so enjoy this ASW throwback episode! Main host Mike Shema selected this episode to share as it's still relevant to the AppSec community today. This week, we welcome Nuno Loureiro, CEO at Probely, and Tiago Mendo, CTO at Probely, to talk about Dev(Sec)Ops Scanning Challenges & Tips! There's a plenitude of ways to do Dev(Sec)Ops, and each organization or even each team uses a different approach. Questions such as how many environments you have and the frequency of deployment of those environments are important to understand how to integrate a security scanner in your DevSecOps processes. It all comes down to speed, how fast can I scan the new deployment? Discussion around the challenges on how to integrate a DAST scanner in DevSecOps and some tips to make it easier. In the AppSec News: View source good / vuln bad, IoT bad / rick-roll good, analyzing the iOS 15.0.2 patch to develop an exploit, bypassing reviews with GitHub Actions, & more NIST DevSecOps guidance!
