We Can Do Better

Before we get too far into things this week, I want to draw special attention to Rich Mogull's $500 Cloud Security Screwup posting. Truly awe inspiring and an example of Doing Infosec Right - admitting that you screwed up and getting on with the solution rather than the very common response which would include hiding what happened and hoping no one finds out that it was you who were the screwup. We should all act more like this. Moving along...

Upcoming this week...

  1. Lots of News
  2. Breaches

With Dave Away Minions Play

Dave is at the ISC2 Security Congress in Chicago right now and muttered something about really bad hotel wifi. Not sure whether it's the hotel or the wifi that is bad. I did not the correlation between expensive hotel and really bad wifi. Wonder if Hutton has modeled that yet.

Episode 0x29 -- Not just CrO2, but now with Dolby

Does anyone read show notes?

So last week had a really annoying failure in the workflow that gets this podcast from a bad Skype conference call to your ears oh precious listener. In this case, it was the failure to apply the noise canceller magic. This means that if you downloaded the podcast from the time that it was posted until I overheard the Liquidmatrix Intern listening to the podcast, you got to hear all of the background noise from each recording. Including Wil's unfortunately loud Bermuda frogs. I can't promise that it won't happen again, mostly because so much of the production workflow is human-based and not automatically awesome like it could be. Sigh. I suppose all of those automation people can't be wrong. Or something.

I SAID it's a weekly podcast

Life gets in the way of art. There's five of us, we are operating from 3 time zones and several of us have a whole lot more than just one job, and then parenting duties as well. This negatively contributes to the possibility of getting all of us together at the same time for a recording. We're trying to figure out what to do about it. It may be that we go for more frequent recordings of whomever is available and stuff together the rest of us when we can. Sigh. Or something.

Episode 0x26 -- The First Rule...

Ministry of Information Bulletin: Liquidmatrix is a weekly podcast.

While we'd like to be able to say that the Ministry of Information is always correct, that would not necessarily be the case. The past few weeks of Infosec have certainly been interesting. The echo chamber is at an all time echo stratosphere and the daily slog of infosec professionals remains at an all time crappiness. Anyone want to join our "Infosec Anonymous" program? Perhaps we should go with a different name: searching "infosec anonymous" gives me about 210,000 results.

Episode 0x25 -- The one with ALL the cybers

We're not sure why this keeps happening.

As is the new normal around here, we've spent more time arguing about the show instead of actually doing the show. Add to that Dave's issues with (a)using a computer, and (b)having a decent ISP. It took a whole lot of goofing about to get this episode into the realm of "listenable". But hey, it's done now. Enjoy!

You'd think those worthless meatbag humans would be more respectful.

It looks like we will have a limited incidence of Robots in tonights episode. Of course, nothing in life can be ACTUALLY robot free. That's just silly talk. Also, pro-tip: make grilled cheese sandwiches in the George Foreman after making steak - better than butter.

Episode 0x23 -- Post RSA Actual News

Recovery takes time. There has not been enough time.

There's really not anything significant to note off the top. There's much going on in the world of infosec. I wish that it weren't as true, but even with the wildness of RSA, the cybers never sleep.

Episode 0x1F -- The Confusing Part Starts NOW

Can't wait till next week when Dave can start reading the episode numbers again!

I'm going to go ahead and apologize for this episode. We really couldn't seem to get it together last week so we bolted together some recording materials from last week and some that we put together last night. It's an unholy mess. Enjoy!

The show keeps getting longer. Even when 2/5ths of the hosts are absent, we're still in the hour long range. What's a podcast to do? Should we start trimming content? Not according to at least one of our listeners who really misses the Deep Dive Segment. Should we split into two episodes and release twice a week? Could we start recording any earlier so that those of us who live on the eastern side of the continent aren't yawning before the end? What's the best part of the show? What could we do less of? Should we just stick to what seems to be working?

These are all questions that you dear listener can answer. Let us know at mailbag@liquidmatrix.org. Did you know that you can also send us tips and links and things that you wish got a little more coverage? Yes you can! Now back to the show.

Episode 0x1D -- Oops, We Did It Again

Sometimes, breaches happen to the nicest folks

A PSA on TFA!

TFA is addictive, a year ago I started using it at work and then I began using it at home on my webmail. I didn't tell my wife about it for a while because I thought that it would bring up the whole 'if you love me you'll share you password' argument again. My TFA use began to spread to other cloud services and soon I was trying to get other people to start using it as well.
Now I do TFA everywhere, whenever I have a quiet moment to access a cloud service. Sometimes I'll even use it on the train when I go to work, I don't care who sees me key in my OTP because I know TFA will keep me safe; it's a good feeling.

Episode 0x1C -- The New Guy

That's audio episode 29 out of us - and so it's time to go gracefully into our middle age with a new guy.

We are pleased to announce that we're adding a new regular contributor to the Podcast - Wil Knoll is a Calgary-based infosec consultant / hackerspace founder who has been a key contributor to Hacker Pyramid as well as knowing his shit when it comes to infosec. He's also an accomplished actor and once upon a time could be mistaken for Joey from Hackers. We are thrilled to have him join the show and in this first outing, he did a wonderful job. He also suffers from impostor syndrome - so make sure you tell him how awesome he really is -- @wintr on Twitter.

Normally there is an opportunity for witty goofing about here. This week, I'm taking the time to soapbox for a moment. If you're not aware of Aaron Swartz, you should be. Unless you're listening to this podcast by going directly to the website and downloading, it's his spec that's running the RSS you're using. Also, everything else. Here's a few links to get you thinking.

    1. RE: Canadian Satellites

      Hey guys.
      Thanks for the shout-out in Episode 14 regarding the Diginotar report.
      Unfortunately I'm going to have to award you guys a mini-derp award for your comments that same episode on the story about the Canadian Navy buying satellite services from Inmarsat as satellites just happen to be my area of expertise. Yes, Canada does have its own communications satellites.
      They are managed by a company called Telesat.
      However, they are not of use to the Canadian Navy because they are located in the wrong place, operate on the wrong frequencies, and provide the wrong types of services for what the Navy needs. Communications satellites of this type operate in the geostationary belt (GEO), an orbit around the Equator 36,000 km above the Earth.
      The radio spectrum in this orbit is pretty congested, so early on international regulation of the satellites in this orbit and the spectrum they use was given to an organization called the ITU. Countries apply to the ITU for specific orbital slots and frequencies in the GEO belt and then license those to their companies. Canada has slots over North America and associated frequencies that are used by Telesat for what's called Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) - mainly broadcast TV and a host of communications services to remote communities in northern Canada. But these frequencies and antenna patterns are not what's used for mobile communications, nor does Canada have any satellite slots in other locations to provide global coverage which is kinda important for ships. Inmarsat on the other hand has the slots and frequency allocations to specialize in Mobile Satellite Services (MSS). They have a fleet of satellites located at various points around the Equator to give global coverage and the types of frequencies and coverage to provide mobile services to ships. Pretty much if you're operating a ship you're going to buy services from Inmarsat. More: Telesat and Inmarsat

    2. Skyrim Jokes

      Hey guys, I don't have any Skyrim jokes but do have an odd anecdote for you. While playing Skyrim and listening to the LSD, I've found that I _have_ to turn off the xbox kinect controls or else bad things happen. Apparently Matt's voice is finely tuned as a Weirding Word. I'll be merrily bopping around a character in a dungeon of some type when, all of a sudden, a dragon shout get kicked off and kills all attempts at stealth that I've been trying to muster. It's only Matt's voice that kicks off the shouts. Take that for what you will. John D.

      Fus Roh Dah!
    3. Wrong questions being asked about security involvement in PMO/SDLC work

      Hey guys, I'm listening to 0x15 and a question made in there really got in between my teeth. "Does making security part of the SDLC make the software more secure?" is the wrong question to be asking. Whether or not having risk evaluations or threat modeling part of the SDLC should be a concern but not the approach I've found work when I've introduced it into the SDLCs of which I've been involved. Let's break out of our security cliques for a moment and realize that ultimately many of use tell ourselves that what we do matters in order to justify the dissonance we have in our brains for putting up with the crap we do because we actually enjoy what we do, for the most part. By and large, we're not altruists. Having the guts to come out and say "Yeah, I know what I do for an organization rarely makes the world a better place, but gosh darn it I like/love what I do." can go a long way to asking the right questions to keep ourselves employed and pertinent to the business that pays us to do cool things. Once you get out of the "what I do is important, dammit" mindset, asking the following question better serves us as a whole. Does making security part of the SDLC/project/product make the business more money or save the business more money had it not been part of the SDLC/project/product as much as we're pushing? If you can justify the change, you can be relatively assured that someone in charge of playing with the moneys with listen. Phrasing the question that way also lends to promoting the idea to the money people that what they do is ultimately important and feeds their own dissonance hating mechanisms. John D. P.S. This approach has also saved me from the dreaded infosec burnout.

w00000000000000000t!

Hey Everyone, welcome to the Liquidmatrix Security Podcast - Episode 0x11 or the 18th recording for those who don’t start with zero and are not good at Hexadecimal - or math, like us.

Everyone showed up except Dave. Something about Canadian Thanksgiving causing a Turkey Coma. We manage to struggle through without him. Actually, we think the show turned out just fine. We don't need no stinkin' Dave.

And tonight, let us regale you with tales of:

  1. LOTS OF NEWS

Episode E -- Just a bunch of hosers

Teh Podcast Warz Haz Begun!

It's another week in infosec. I can't get excited about it either. Too many news stories of note, breaches and a new section - the SCADAs. In the same way that we had too many breach stories so we broke them out, we're doing the same with SCADA. Expect a lot of derision from Dave and I -- there's a lot of bullshit and we're calling it.

We'd also like to wave hello to the team at Riskhose. We're sorry that you misinterpreted young Matt's question - we'll straighten you out when we do our Risk-tacular episode this fall. Also, we're starting to suspect that the Riskhose Utahian may be a closet Canadian - he knows too much about Canadian musicians and he does know all of the words to Romantic Traffic (and yes Alex, when you come to Toronto, we'll go visit all of the subway stations so that you can produce your fan version of the video.)

Interestingly, between the Riskhose podcast and some threats from the Southern Fried Security bunch, it's on - the Podcast Wars are here - expect that the next few months are going to be epic in the world of infosec podcasting. We may even take a swipe at NetSec!

      Long time listener, first time writing in...

      I find myself compelled to write inasmuch as I found myself shouting at my iPod yesterday. I, of course, am referring to "Liquid Matrix Security Digest Podcast Episode 2" where a conversation about "What Should You Do If You Are The CISO Of A Breached Company?" occurred. Forgive me as I left the Post-It note with the timestamps of the offending speech on the mirror in my bathroom so that I may focus my Daily Rage upon it as I carefully shave "I da CISO, bitch!" into my scalp each morning.

      In essence Ben argued that the role of the CISO in the event of a password breach is to stride confidently into the CEOs office and say "I told you this was going to happen, this is not my fault, and we need to force all users to change passwords - Damn The Consequences, Man!" (While this is not a direct quote it it was I very distinctly heard...)

      While this is a nice gedankenexperiment in that it is very cool to imagine ourselves in the role of "Captain Astounding: Protector Of Users" but the reality of a breached company has certain rules..

      1) If the breached company is a startup or new venture the Senior Management regards this event as an existential crisis. Not so much to the company itself - but to their exit plan (hey, who doesn't dream of being bought by Facebook or Microsoft for a billion dollars?) or to their about-to-be-so-far-underwater-they-implode stock options. Lose track of this fact and You Are Toast.

      2) If the breached company is an older company the critical component is the quality of business leadership available. If they take counsel of their fears - see Rule 1. If they take a more mature view you can actually get effective response but know that you have almost no influence on that outcome.

      3) If you were the CISO pre-breach you have to realize your credibility and professional competence is seriously in question by *everyone*. It matters not that you wrote 523 emails protesting storage of passwords in clear text, nor that you did not get the budget to keep your IPS under maintenance, nor that $Security_Requirement was ignored. If this offends your sensibilities I would simply refer you to the Book of Hezekiah, Chapter 9, Verse 27 where it is written "Yea, and the LORD spake unto the people, and the LORD spake "Life is not fair - never said it was, never said it will be - Get Over It!" and thus the people were greatly nonplussed".

      4) If you are the successor to the CISO who ran the shop pre-breach you have to realize that nobody believes anything you say without the Incident Response Consultants agreeing with you. You have not been around long enough for anyone to trust you or to accept your influence. You will not be seen having the same "at-risk" quotient as everyone else (See Rule 1 above).

      5) Almost everyone company that experiences a major breach turns a significant portion of the response and decision making to Outside Counsel and Incident Response Consultants. There are good and bad reasons for doing this - let's just accept that it happens. Fighting these folks - especially Outside Counsel - is generally a No Win situation (See Rule 3 & 4 above).

      So what do you do?

      You do what you can. You use whatever influence you have to try to do the right thing. But realize a breach response is *not* a Security Problem it is a Business Problem and that business folks are going to be in charge. If you cannot deal with that - you might want to become a Incident Response Consultant.

      Love, Uncle @armorguy

      • LM Team,

        First off I want to say that I'm really enjoying the podcast. I'm still very early into my career and trying to transition into InfoSec. I would love to hear about all of your views on Information Security in colleges. I was thinking about it following some twitter chatter between some people and Chris Eng about this. I thought that there were some good conversations. I'm a little bit disappointed since I just finished my M.S in Computer Info Sys with a security concentration. In the classes I took we learned some basic network security concepts. Only touched a bit on web application security. I was hoping we would of done some offensive stuff, but we never did.

        I compared my classes to pen testing classes out there and it seems to me they’re on a better track but what do I know.

        Just some thoughts,
        Jimmy

    2. Hi there LiquidM,

      Long-time listener, first time emailer!

      I was wondering if you could help me with a small dilemma I'm facing. I've been working as one of those penetration tester types in the financial sector for a while now, and my company treats me right... but more and more I hear the calling of the darkside... no, not THAT darkside, the calls of those working for security companies and $vendor that get to do exciting things with exciting people! The ones that get to actually TALK about their research...

      So, what's a guy to do? Please LiquidM help me, you're my only hope!
      Chris

      P.S: Love the show... but you guys are very Canadian O.o' ;) See you guys in Vegas I hope.... eh!

    3. Hey there fellow Canucks…

      Over the years I've had many IT jobs, from network admin to system admin for small consulting firms in my area (nothing big). A common theme was the unwillingness to implement the most basic of security mechanisms, or acknowledge the possibility that the systems/networks we would implement for our clients were perhaps done in a un-secure fashion. As a security enthusiast this was very frustrating.

      On a few occasions, I would prove this using a few simple demonstrations on how easy malware, or human, could compromise the network (malicious emails, word/pdf docs, ms08_067 for example). Every time my demonstrations were brushed off as "unlikely" or "impossible", requiring a level of technical knowledge that no employee possesses inside "client X". One such place was an ISP, where we would setup and host websites, providing clients with FTP access to upload and download content. I was actually instructed not to make the passwords too complicated, to ensure our clients were able to use it. Even after I had showed my boss a public exploit (from exploit-db) was available for the FTP software used. Again brushed off as "unlikely" seeing the exploit needed to be authenticated to properly function. This, of course, started the debate of weak passwords that lasted all of 2 seconds… At another spot, I actually showed the senior administrator (my supervisor), hosting a SSH server on port 80 was possible… funny. By now I think you get the picture on how security was handled, so I won't go any further.

      My question is what would you say to the lonely sys-admin, in a small to mid sized firm, on how to handle an employer that doesn't seem concerned at all with security? How should the lonely admin tackle these types of issues without annoying "the boss" with this silly thing called "security", when it's obvious he or she is not willing to listen?

      I'm fortunate enough to no longer be in this situation, but I'm sure there are many out there still living with these types of conditions.
      Steven

      ps.: hope all of this made sense, and good job on the podcast very much enjoying it so far
