Today we revisit a series about eating the security dog food – in other words, practicing what we preach as security gurus! Specifically we talk about:

• We’re going to get a third-party assessment on 7MinSec (the business)
• Tips for secure email backup/storage
• Limiting the retention of sensitive data you store in cloud places

Today we’re talking about tips to deal with stress and anxiety:

• It sounds basic, but take breaks – and take them in a different place (don’t just stay in the office and do more screen/doom-scrolling)
• I’ve never gotten to a place in my workload where I go “Ahhh, all caught up!” so I should stop striving to hit that invisible goal.
• Chiropractic and back massages have done wonders for the tightness in my neck and shoulders
• For me, video games where you punch and kick things relieves stress as well (including a specific game that’s definitely not for kids!)

We did something crazy today and recorded an episode that was 7 minutes long! Today we talk about some things that have helped us out in recent pentests:

• When using Farmer to create “trap” files that coerce authentication, I’ve found way better results using Windows Search Connectors (.searchConnector-ms) files
• This matrix of “can I relay this to that” has been super helpful, especially early in engagements
