7MS #458: Interview with Tanya Janca

Today we're super excited to share a featured interview with Tanya Janca of WeHackPurple!

Tanya has been in software development from the moment she was of legal age to work in Canada - beginning by working with some huge companies (Nokia/Adobe) before falling in love with application security and eventually starting a company of her own. Gh0sthax and I sat down with Tanya over Zoom to discuss:

  • How to overcome your fears and present at conferences, write blog posts and even start your own company!
  • How to deal with online jackwagons who troll you online at conferences
  • The importance of finding a mentor and mentoring others

Also, here are a bunch of handy links and hashtags Tanya shares throughout the interview:

  • Bob and Alice Learn Application Security - Tanya's book, available on Amazon
  • Women of Security (WoSEC)
  • We Hack Purple Podcast - weekly podcast with a diverse range of guests from all walks of infosec life
  • We Hack Purple Community - "a Canadian company dedicated to helping anyone and everyone create secure software."
  • Tanya's music on Spotify
  • #CyberMentoringMonday - a hashtag that Tanya and other security professionals monitor to help people connect with cyber mentors
  • InsiderPHd - has a safe space for bug bounty hunters to learn and collaborate
  • WeAreHackerz - "You are welcome to join WeAreHackerz if you identify as a person of a marginalized gender, including but not limited to non-binary individuals, women (trans and cis), trans men, genderqueer, etc. We welcome members across all nationalities, races, religions, ages, or other characteristics that make each of us unique."

7MS #626: Web Pentesting Pastiche

7MS #626: Web Pentesting Pastiche

Hey friends, today we’ve got a security milkshake episode about Web app pentesting. Specifically we talk about: Burp Suite Enterprise Caido – a lightweight alternative to Burp wfuzz – Web fuzzer.  Using a proxy:wfuzz -c -z file,/usr/share/wfuzz/wordlist/Injections/XSS.txt –sc 200 “https://somedomain.com/shopping?&qty=%2FUZZ” -p 10.0.7.11:8080 KNOXSS – for XSS testing – pairs nicely with this wrapper: https://github.com/xnl-h4ck3r/knoxnl In the tangent dept, I moan about how I hate some things about Proxmox but am also starting to love it. In the tangent #2 department, I talk about tinnitus and acupuncture!

7MS #625: A Peek into the 7MS Mail Bag - Part 4

7MS #625: A Peek into the 7MS Mail Bag - Part 4

Road trip time! I’ve been traveling this week doing some fun security projects, and thought all this highway time would be a perfect opportunity to take a dip into the 7MS mail bag!  Today’s questions include: How do you price internal network penetration tests? Have you ever had to deal with a difficult client situation, and how did you resolve it? Are you done going after certs?  Spoiler: no – I’m interested in doing the XINTRA labs (not sure if it includes a cert) Do you provide managed services or just stick with more “one and done” assessment work? You said the “smart business people” tell you to form reseller partnerships, otherwise you’re leaving money on the table – so why don’t you? I’m thinking of starting my own cybersecurity consultancy – what type of insurance do I need to protect me in case of a digital “oops?”

7MS #624: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 57

7MS #624: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 57

Today’s tale of pentest pwnage is all about my new favorite attack called SPN-less RBCD. We did a teaser episode last week that actually ended up being a full episode all about the attack, and even step by step commands to pull it off.  But I didn’t want today’s episode to just be “Hey friends, check out the YouTube version of this attack!” so I also cover: Our first first impressions of Burp Enterprise Why I have a real hard time believing you have to follow all these steps to install Kali on Proxmox

7MS #623: Prelude to a Tale of Pentest Pwnage

Today’s prelude to a tale of pentest pwnage talks about something called “spnless RBCD” (resource-based constrained delegation).  The show notes don't format well here in the podcast notes, so head to 7minsec.com to see the notes in all their glory.

7MS #622: Migrating from vCenter to Proxmox - Part 1

7MS #622: Migrating from vCenter to Proxmox - Part 1

Sadly, the Broadcom acquisition of VMWare has hit 7MinSec hard – we love running ESXi on our NUCs, but ESXi free is no longer available.  To add insult to injury, our vCenter lab at OVHcloud HQ got a huge price gouge (due to license cost increase; not OVH’s fault).  Now we’re exploring Proxmox as an alternative hypervisor, so we’re using today’s episode to kick off a series about the joys and pains of this migration process.

7MS #621: Eating the Security Dog Food - Part 6

Today we revisit a series about eating the security dog food – in other words, practicing what we preach as security gurus!  Specifically we talk about: We’re going to get a third-party assessment on 7MinSec (the business) Tips for secure email backup/storage Limiting the retention of sensitive data you store in cloud places

7MS #620: Securing Your Mental Health - Part 5

7MS #620: Securing Your Mental Health - Part 5

Today we’re talking about tips to deal with stress and anxiety: It sounds basic, but take breaks – and take them in a different place (don’t just stay in the office and do more screen/doom-scrolling) I’ve never gotten to a place in my workload where I go “Ahhh, all caught up!” so I should stop striving to hit that invisible goal. Chiropractic and back massages have done wonders for the tightness in my neck and shoulders For me, video games where you punch and kick things relieves stress as well (including a specific game that’s definitely not for kids!)

7MS #619: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 56

We did something crazy today and recorded an episode that was 7 minutes long!  Today we talk about some things that have helped us out in recent pentests: When using Farmer to create “trap” files that coerce authentication, I’ve found way better results using Windows Search Connectors (.searchConnector-ms) files This matrix of “can I relay this to that” has been super helpful, especially early in engagements
