Interviewing with L3 System Administrator Tegora

Today I am interviewing Tegora, an L3 System Administrator & Senior Technical Leader with technical responsibilities for Networking/Linux/HPC. We recorded the interview in an open discord voice channel with video while monitoring chat with Text-to-speech developed by Security_Live. While this time I had his volume level closer to mine, the music wasn't low enough in some parts. I make sure it is lower on future recordings Tegora became fascinated with computers at an early age, funded his education enlisting in the Army, pursued and obtained multiple degrees, taught and then pivoting into a career in IT. He has an excellent point of view regarding work effort, stepping out of your comfort zone and shares excellent tips on getting started on your path and interviewing. Also, I send people I interview a list of questions to answer, and Tegora did that, offering well thought and candid answers. Find the document linked on the episode page on my Github.

Hello and welcome back to USB our Guest, Cyber Security tips. I’m Theo, here to help you break down cyber security news and hacks and how they affect you. However, today I am interviewing Zoogs. He has been in the industry for a bit now and I wanted to pick his brain on a variety of topics. We decided to record this live on twitch with chat using text to speech, while in Minecraft and recording audio in discord. So If you want to watch the VOD it is available on twitch or YouTube. We talk about his prior experience, current role, their expectations and what it took for him to get into that role. We also talk about Certificates, different learning techniques, the importance of stepping outside of your comfort zone, and advice that he wish he knew when he started on his path in cybersecurity. I include some sleeper questions that really don't have anything to do with cyber security And zoogs triggers himself @ 44:45!! https://linktr.ee/b7h30

Phishing Myself... Repeatedly or I'll click on that...

In this video Episode of USB our Guest, I Phish myself Repeatedly.  Today I wanted to do something a little different and something I've wanted to do for a while. I'm getting phished, repeatedly. I'm going to show you multiple legitimate login screens next to spoofed login screens that actually steal credentials. We're gonna talk about when and where the attack happens, where the username and password gets pulled and how to avoid. I want to send a special thank you to Casper0x413 for all the hard work they put in on PhishNet. I still can't get over how legit the phishing login screens look. Thank you Saint!
