Executives spend millions securing the office…but what about their homes? 🏡🔐

John Stigerwalt and Gregory Hatcher, Co-Founders of White Knight Labs, are back on the mic this week with more stories from their red teaming escapades, including how a CEO’s living room can become the easiest path into an entire organization. 👀

This clip is a glimpse into how attackers really think and why protecting executives now requires far more than a guard and a gate.

The real question heading into 2026: What’s the actual state of vulnerability management today? 🧐⚡

Chris Hughes joins us on the pod this week to talk how LLMs and agentic AI are reshaping the landscape. Defenders are starting to use AI to scan massive codebases and surface issues faster… while attackers are using the same tech to whip up exploits within minutes of a CVE dropping.

Both sides are accelerating, and it’s changing the game.

If you want a glimpse of where vulnerability management is really headed, this conversation is for you.

The “mental attack surface” is real, and we don’t talk about it enough. 🧠🔥

In this week’s episode, we're talking about this invisible side of cybersecurity work.

Chris Hughes, Co-Founder at Aquia, joins us to break down why systems matter now more than ever and how small habits help shrink that mental attack surface by closing those “open tabs” we’re all carrying around.

If you’ve ever felt like the day is running you instead of the other way around, this conversation hits home.

Things went sideways, an intern got handcuffed, and ransomware was just the start. 😬

White Knight Labs is back with another Hacker Valley livestream, and this one’s full of real-world red team chaos, the kind that’s equal parts hilarious and horrifying.

Gregory Hatcher and John Stigerwalt are sharing stories from the field and the lessons that come with them. If you’re into offensive security, this is the stream to catch.

Ever notice how the more you learn about the world, the more you want to throw it out and start over? 🌎

Daniel Miessler joins us on Hacker Valley Studio this week and is dropping some truth bombs. Think of this one like vulnerability scanning for society. Every gap is a potential exploit, OR a design opportunity.

Check out the full episode TODAY wherever you get your podcasts!

The GenAI wave is here, but where is it really heading? 🌊

In this week’s episode, Ron Eddings sits down with Daniel Miessler to get real about where AI is heading. Is GenAI the future of cybersecurity? A productivity boost? Or just the latest bubble waiting to pop?

They're sharing their thoughts on the future of technical leadership to how Daniel designs systems that actually matter.

If you’ve been asking, “How do we use GenAI without losing control?" this one’s for you.

AI is speeding up development faster than most security teams can measure, let alone secure. 🔐

We've brought back Varun Badhwar, CEO at Endor Labs, and Henrik Plate, Principal Researcher and co-author of State of Dependency Management 2025, to break down the risks hiding inside AI-generated code, hallucinated dependencies, and the rapidly expanding Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem.

If you’re navigating AI adoption, AppSec transformation, or the evolving software supply chain, this conversation brings the clarity leaders have been asking for.

Join us LIVE Monday, December 15th at 1pm ET / 10am PT.

Autonomous agents are powerful...and unpredictable. 🤖💥

In today's bonus solo episode, Ron shares a real scenario where he was experimenting with AI-driven exploit creation. As expected, the system refused, as it should, but what came next opened the door to a powerful conversation about AI hooks, agent memory, and how to build safeguards that keep your data (and your sanity) intact.

We're dropping 2 EPISODES this week so you get to spend more time with Ron during this busy holiday season.

Listen to today's NOW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep an eye out for the next episode coming your way soon. 😉

Some lessons you only learn when everything goes wrong. 👀

On our next Hacker Valley livestream, Gregory Hatcher and John Stigerwalt from White Knight Labs are BACK with the stories that prove it.

From a physical security engagement that went off the rails to ransomware simulations that crack “unbreakable” defenses, John and Gregory will show us what chaos in the field actually teaches.

If you want honest lessons from practitioners who’ve seen what checklists miss, this is the one to catch.

Join us LIVE on Thursday, Dec 11th at 12p CT / 10a PT 🗓

AI is already rewriting the rules of software development, and your security controls are struggling to keep up. 🏃‍♀️

That's why we've brought back Varun Badhwar, CEO at Endor Labs, this time with Henrik Plate, Principal Researcher and co-author of State of Dependency Management 2025, for another live session breaking down what AI is quietly doing to your software supply chain behind the scenes.

You'll learn:

1. How AI-generated code is reshaping dependency risk
2. What MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers mean for the future
3. Where AppSec is breaking under the weight of automation
4. What you can actually do to stay ahead
