Beers with Talos EP20: Crypto, Vuln Disco, and the Spectre Meltdown
Summary: Beers with Talos Podcast Episode 20 covers the 2018 spike in crypto-mania, the role of vulnerability discovery in security, and differing takes among the crew on Spectre/Meltdown. The same page also lists later episodes, including No. 120 recorded April 6, 2022, No. 119 recorded March 25, 2022, and No. 118 recorded March 7, 2022.
Why it matters: The episode's central topics - vulnerability discovery and the Spectre/Meltdown response - are where security teams' patch and disclosure decisions get tested, and the crew's split views on Spectre/Meltdown show that even practitioners did not agree on how to handle it.
