Storm⚡️Watch - 9/26/23

In this episode of Storm Watch, the hosts discuss their recent experiences and updates in the cybersecurity world. The podcast begins with Kimber sharing her experience at LabsCon, a small conference organized by Sentinel One's labs team, focused on threat intelligence information sharing. 

Next, the hosts discuss GreyNoise's sensor workshop at LabsCon, where they demonstrated the deployment of a sensor and the possibilities it opens up for information gathering. Sensors are points on the internet that passively collect data, waiting for interactions and storing the information in a database for further analysis. The team is working on new sensor profiles and personas, allowing them to pretend to be anything in ways they have never been able to do before.

The conversation then shifts to the ongoing MoveIt vulnerability saga, with two new CVEs being announced in the past week. The hosts emphasize the importance of staying on top of these vulnerabilities and practicing responsible disclosure. They also briefly mention JetBrains' new beta Rust IDE, which is currently available for testing.

Lastly, the hosts touch upon GreyNoise trends, noting that it has been a relatively calm week in terms of botnet activity. However, they point out an increase in open proxy scanners, advising listeners to educate themselves on the topic. Overall, the episode covers a range of cybersecurity topics, from conferences and workshops to vulnerabilities and trends.
