S1E02: Cafe Bohannon

“Activity Round-up”: This week, we talk about new techniques being
used by Iran's "MuddyWater" (TEMP.Zagros) and Vietnam's APT32. We
discuss our Mandiant response efforts into large Chinese espionage
campaigns that have picked up in the past year, highlighting both
APT20 targeting of service providers and some fresh TEMP.Periscope
activity at many clients.

“What to Expect When You’re Resetting”: We describe several approaches
and challenges with mid-breach enterprise password resets - and the
results of Christopher’s polls on your experiences.

“Cafe Bohannon”: We close with a chat with Daniel Bohannon
(@danielhbohannon) about good coffee, "tasteful obfuscation," and
preview of DBO's upcoming Black Hat Asia 2018 research & tool
releasing next week.
