Advising The President On Cyber-Physical Resilience - Philip Venables - PSW #826

On February 27, 2024, PCAST (President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology) sent a report to the President with recommendations to bolster the resilience and adaptability of the nation’s cyber-physical infrastructure resources. Phil was part of the team that worked on the report and comes on the show to talk about what was recommended and how we implement the suggestions.

This week the crew discusses: When TVs scan your network, bad things can happen, PuTTY is vulnerable, Crush FTP, vulnerabilities that will never be fixed, CVEs are for vulnerabilities silly, you can test for easily guessable passwords too, FlipperZero can steal all your passwords, more XZ style attacks, more reasons why you shouldn't use a smart lock, and your keystrokes are showing!
