The AST CASTcast: Episode 7: Black Swans Wear Hoodies
summary
Everyday testers can become effective security testers without a radical career shift by learning specific techniques: think like an attacker to identify motives and entry points, use a simple data flow diagram and draw circles on components to find escalation paths, and adopt threat modeling as a routine activity. The session is experiential rather than tool-focused, offers a small game to generate attacker personas, and recommends the Verizon Data Breach Report as a practical source of real-world attacker patterns.
