The best Social Engineers do a tremendous amount of research before engaging a target. As luck would have it, we get to speak with one of them today! Chris and I talk about the pivotal role of OSINT in preparing for an SE engagement and also get a "peek behind the curtain" in relation to OSINT sources during a Social Engineering "capture the flag" style competition.

Chris Kirsch is the CEO of runZero (www.runzero.com), a cyber asset management company he co-founded with Metasploit creator HD Moore. Chris started his career at an InfoSec startup in Germany and has since worked for PGP, nCipher, Rapid7, and Veracode. He has a passion for OSINT and Social Engineering. In 2017, he earned the Black Badge for winning the Social Engineering capture the flag competition at DEF CON, the world’s largest hacker conference.

In this bonus episode, Tom Hocker and Rae Baker sit down to talk about their respective journeys in to infosec. Getting in to Infosec can seem challenging but if these two can do it so can you. With a little bit of forward momentum and a clear goal in mind you can pretty much achieve anything.
