This week: Larry's in the host seat and chaos ensues. We dig into: A very questionable story about tracking a warship with a $5 Bluetooth tracker Serial-to-IP devices quietly sitting in critical infrastructure… and full of holes New York regulators mandating MFA and asset inventory—aka CIS Control #1 is now breaking news A ransomware negotiator who decided to double-dip (and landed in prison) "Brand new" hard drives that come preloaded… with someone else's data The Vercel breach: no zero-day, just shadow IT, stolen tokens, and bad decisions AI-driven vulnerability discovery and the looming "vulnpocalypse" Quantum crypto debates: real threat or just another security boogeyman? Mirai is STILL alive—because apparently we still don't patch routers And yes… Flipper Zero makes an appearance (no, you're not hacking airplanes… calm down) Then, we rebroadcast an interview from RSAC. Breach Readiness for Measurable Risk Reduction in the Age of AI Cyber leaders no longer debate whether a breach will occur. What has changed is the speed and scale at which AI now enables those breaches. The real question is how far an attacker can move once inside. In this conversation, Rajesh Khazanchi explores why breach readiness, including AI-assisted containment, measurable blast radius reduction, and pervasive microsegmentation, has become mission-critical for business continuity in 2026.

In this segment, we will explore some pretty awesome tools for scanning the Internet, with a focus on network edge devices. We'll bring it all together with Claude Code and look at some sample results. Tools include: Shodan | Passive recon — query existing scan data for exposed devices, services, and vulns | Passive (API) | Instant (no packets sent) ZMap | Host discovery — find live hosts with open ports | L4 (TCP SYN, UDP, ICMP) | Millions of packets/sec ZGrab2 | Application-layer handshakes — grab banners, certs, headers | L7 (30+ protocol modules) | Thousands of hosts/sec Nerva | Service fingerprinting — identify 140+ protocols with metadata, CPEs, technology stacks | L7 (TCP, UDP, SCTP) | Fast, concurrent Nuclei | Template-based vulnerability scanning — default creds, exposed panels, known CVEs | L7 (HTTP, network) | Hundreds of targets/min Shannon | Vulnerability exploitation — AI-powered whitebox pentesting of web apps | Application | ~1-1.5 hrs per target edgescan.py | Automated pipeline — orchestrates all tools above into a single command | Orchestration | End-to-end Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/psw-919

In this episode, we sit down with the Radare community leader, Pancake, the creator of the Radare2 reverse engineering framework. Whether you've never heard of Radare, already use it daily, or are thinking about contributing to its development, this conversation will demystify what makes Radare unique, why thousands of engineers rely on it, and how you can step into the community.

First up is a technical segment called "Paul's Linux Hacks". I finally got around to releasing a bunch of scripts and tutorials for Linux that I've created over the years. We'll go over scripts that can give you a supply chain security report and help you update your Arch-based Linux systems and the tutorial for using Linux KVM/Qemu/Libvirt. Repo is here: https://github.com/pasadoorian/Linux_Hacks Next up is the security news: Controlling 7,000 robot vacuums Curl finds not all AI is bad Palo Alto says "These are not the ties to China you were looking for" Bloomberg writes an article that sheds light on Ivanti Looking for BLE is a trend Don't use AI to generate you passwords New research on hacking Samsung TVs Its not all about gadgets Ring's new bug bounty Paul will be voted in as Prime Minister of Denmark? Hacking AI, AI does some hacking, and hackers are talking about AI Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/psw-915

AI says that this is the show where we turn coffee into threat intelligence and cigar smoke into packet captures. This week: a firmware backdoor living its best life inside Android tablets a fresh BeyondTrust RCE that already has scanners circling like seagulls over a french fry. Lenovo Vantage reminds us that "preinstalled convenience" is just another way to spell "attack surface." Texas is taking a swing at TP-Link supercomputers with a 20-year-old Munge bug that still has teeth. Your AI coding assistant might be quietly squirreling away secrets macOS gets a visit from an infostealer delivered as helpful add-ons Chrome extensions allegedly spy on millions open source maintainers drowning in AI-generated nonsense Windows flirting with smartphone-style permission prompts.
