BWT EP5 - It Has Been 0-days Since This Term was Abused
Summary: Cisco Talos released Beers with Talos Episode 5, in which the crew discusses the potential of Samba echoing WannaCry and blocking SMB ports, and gives usage guidance on terms like 0-days and backdoors that the industry hypes for clicks. The episode also covers when being a cyberattack victim is partly your own fault, why patching is sometimes impossible, and why checkboxes will not save you when you must adjust fire.
What you should know: The episode's own framing - that SMB ports should already be blocked and that patching is sometimes impossible - points at the gap between controls an organization has checked off and the ones that hold when a WannaCry-style event hits.
