032. Finding your way: How to get through "Lost in the Woods"

Keep those fans on MAX, cyberheads! In this episode of the #CyberChats special edition summer series, we continue to build on our theme of system security.

To start, we walk through our thought process and some techniques for solving this month's Cyber Challenge on MetaCTF: "Lost in the Woods." If you had a different methodology, let us know. Next, we explore some ways to defeat credential stuffing and keep our online accounts safe. What is credential stuffing? How can we protect ourselves without being paranoid? Why do is using multiple emails a good idea?

By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of some new tools, like nmap, curl, and netcat, and another Cyber Challenge win.
