#515: Phishing the AI: Zero-Click NIGHTMARE

Big thanks to ThreatLocker for sponsoring my trip to Black Hat 2025. To start your free trial with ThreatLocker please use the following link: https://www.threatlocker.com/davidbombal

In this interview from Black Hat 2025, David Bombal sits down with two cybersecurity legends: David Cowen (Digital Forensics Expert) and Evan Anderson (Red Team Operator and Tool Builder). They give an unfiltered look at the real world of hacking, forensics, and career-building in cybersecurity.

What we'll cover:
• How the SolarWinds hack was discovered with never-before-heard forensics insight
• Real-world red teaming using HVAC exploits, USB pivots, and AWS chaos
• The Oculus vs. Carmack lawsuit story from the expert who worked the case
• How to start your career in cybersecurity, even without a degree
• What the CCDC program is and why it leads to 3 job offers instantly
• How AI is changing the game for hackers and defenders alike

#516: He Saved The DOOM Creator

Big thanks to Brilliant for sponsoring this video. To try everything Brilliant has to offer, visit https://brilliant.org/davidbombal or scan the QR code onscreen – You’ll also get 20% off an annual premium subscription. 

Think you’ve been hacked? In this video, David Bombal and OTW (OccupyTheWeb)
walk you through OSQuery - a free, open-source tool that lets you query your
operating system like a database. You’ll learn the exact SQL-style commands to find:
• Listening processes & remote connections (spot command-and-control)
• Suspicious services and misspelled look-alikes
• Persistence via registry startup items and scheduled tasks
• Fileless malware (on_disk = 0) running only in RAM

OTW draws from real digital forensics cases (200+ inquiries/month),
including harassment, divorce disputes, and business rivalries. We also
explain why antivirus often fails once malware is resident—and what you can
do next (kill the process, remove the file, and harden startup entries).

#517: Have you been hacked? Advanced detection method

Big thanks to Cisco for Sponsoring this video.  For more information about the topic being discussed follow the following link:  https://blogs.cisco.com/news/the-thir...

Cisco’s Martin Lund joins David Bombal to unpack how AI-scale networking really works - and why a 51.2 Tbps, 64×800G, post-quantum–ready router matters. We break down scale-up vs scale-out vs scale-across, deep buffers to prevent drops on long-haul links, line-rate IPsec/MACsec, SONiC vs IOS XR, P4 programmability, coherent optics for ~1000 km DCI, and how these pieces enable exabit-class fabrics for AI clusters.
What you’ll learn
• Why GPUs are useless without massive, reliable interconnects
• 51.2 Tbps with 64×800G ports and what that enables for AI training
• Deep buffers vs shallow buffers and when each wins
• Line-rate encryption today and post-quantum readiness tomorrow
• SONiC on Cisco Silicon One, P4, and automation at hyperscale
If you found this useful, hit subscribe and share with your favorite network nerd. It’s always the network.

Apple says iPhone is extremely hard to hack. OTW says he keeps finding real malware on normal people's iPhones. We talk Pegasus spyware, the Meta vs NSO lawsuit over WhatsApp, Apple's new memory integrity protections, and why a $5M bug bounty still won't stop well-funded spyware. We also get into how one infected phone can take over your entire WiFi and smart home, why your router and VPN box are the weakest link, and what “everything is hackable” really means for you.

Is your encryption safe? Cisco’s Vijoy Pandey reveals why distributed quantum computing is coming in 2-3 years, not 10. Learn about the 'Store Now, Harvest Later' threat and how quantum networking changes everything, including the security of your VPN. This paradigm shift is 100x bigger than the ChatGPT/AI moment, requiring the entire theory of computer science to be rewritten.

Join us as we dive into the imminent future of cybersecurity, qubits, and

#522: Does Traditional Encryption End in 2027?

Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Partner Summit San Diego 2025. 
 
This video is a deep dive with Jeetu Patel on why the real AI revolution is happening in infrastructure and networking, not just in GPUs or chatbots.
Jeetu explains that we are massively underestimating how much AI infrastructure the world will need. Power becomes the core constraint, GPUs are the core asset, and networking is the force multiplier that lets thousands of GPUs act as one system. He walks through how we went from models on a single GPU → 4–8 GPUs in a server → racks with hundreds of GPUs (like NVL-72 with 500+ GPUs) → clusters of racks, and now “scale across” between data centers when power and real estate are scattered across different regions.

The conversation then shifts to edge AI and Cisco Unified Edge: instead of doing all token generation in big data centers, some inference and token generation must move to the edge (branches, factories, hospitals, stadiums, stores) where data is created. Jeetu explains why edge devices need to be plug-and-play, remotely managed, and integrate compute, networking, security and observability in a single platform.

He also introduces the idea that AI is now constrained by three big bottlenecks:
• Infrastructure
• A trust deficit (people don’t trust AI yet)
• A data gap (models are mostly trained on human internet data, not on rich
machine data)

Jeetu explains how security becomes a prerequisite for productivity, not a trade-off, and describes Cisco’s work with Splunk, open-sourced time-series models, and machine data (logs, metrics, traces) to close the data gap by correlating machine data with human-generated data for better insights.
Globally, he talks about the “token generation race” – how every country now cares about having enough AI token generation capacity because it directly links to GDP and national security. He cites huge infrastructure build-outs with partners like G42 in the Middle East, at gigawatt and trillions-of-dollars scale.

Finally, Jeetu tackles the “AI will take my job” fear. He outlines three stages of
thinking:
1. “AI will take my job.”
2. “Someone who uses AI better will take my job.”
3. “Without AI, I won’t be able to do my job.”

His message to younger viewers: be excited, adopt AI as a companion, own your learning, and learn fast because AI compresses the time it takes to build skills.
