In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, I sit down with penetration tester and security researcher Trent Miller (AzureAD) to talk about the one thing that makes pentesting fun instead of stressful: genuine friendships and community. We discuss how learning from other hackers, sharing experiences, and joining groups like DEF CON DC608 can accelerate your growth far beyond certifications or labs. Trent opens up about work-life balance, avoiding burnout, and the value of teaching what you learn, while I share my own perspective on grinding, AI in cybersecurity, and lessons from real client engagements. Whether you’re an aspiring pentester or already working in offensive security, this conversation reveals practical insights and a fresh way to look at learning in cybersecurity.

In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, Kyser Clark sits down with Carl Vincent, better known as Vyrus, to unpack the shifting realities of cybersecurity. Carl shares straight talk on the Silver Bullet ecosystem that fraud actors rely on, why today’s cybercrime is more about account access than shell popping, and how blue teams can actually turn criminal tradecraft into an intelligence advantage. The conversation spans everything from DEF CON nostalgia and salsa shots to the practical power of always speaking to the threat model. Carl also delivers a spicy hot take on why InfoSec’s growth may be slowing down and what that could mean for the industry’s future.
