How private are the apps you use every day? I sit down with Thorin Klosowski from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to discuss online privacy, secure messaging, VPNs and the data we share with AI tools.
We look at Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram, discuss privacy tradeoffs across Windows, Linux, Android and iPhone, and ask what you should assume about email and cloud storage. Thorin also walks through EFF’s free Surveillance Self-Defense guides to help you create a security plan and decide what to focus on first.
If you work in cybersecurity, or you simply want to help your family protect their privacy, this conversation gives you a starting point without assuming everyone needs the same tools.
In this interview:
Why “I have nothing to hide” misses the point
How to think about passwords, two-factor authentication and security planning
Why messaging defaults and privacy settings matter
What a VPN can and cannot do for your privacy
AI features, cloud storage and questions to ask about your data
Phone and computer privacy tradeoffs, email and encryption
Which privacy setting or app are you going to review first? Let me know in the comments, and subscribe for more cybersecurity and privacy conversations.

#ai #aihacking #promptinjection - Big thanks to @Cisco & @Splunkofficial for sponsoring my trip to .Conf 2026 and also for sponsoring this video.
AI agents can do things you never intended. So how do you monitor their behavior, spot security problems and decide what they should be allowed to do? I’m joined by Splunk’s Kamal Hathi at .conf26 to discuss AI agent security, observability and what an agentic SOC means for the people working in cybersecurity.
Kamal explains why setting a goal isn’t enough. You need visibility into what your agents are actually doing, clear guardrails and human oversight for important decisions. We also discuss why monitoring only a sample of agent activity can leave gaps, and how focused small language models could help reduce evaluation costs.
In this interview, we cover:
• Known agents, unregistered agents and unexpected behavior
• AI evaluations, guardrails and zero trust
• Automating SOC alert triage while keeping humans in control
• Using AI to create SOAR playbooks
• Running models locally for privacy, cost and control
• Choosing between local models and cloud models
• Whether you should still study computer science in 2027
If you’re building AI agents, working in cybersecurity or deciding what to learn next, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.

WiFi hacking without opening your laptop? @DarrenKitchen from @hak5 joins me to talk about the WiFi Pineapple Pager and what this little Linux device can actually do.
Darren shares the story behind the Pager, explains its support for 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz WiFi, and walks us through features including wireless reconnaissance, eventtriggered alerts, and community-created payloads. We also discuss how Bash and DuckyScript helpers let users build their own functionality, and how Pager Portal makes it possible to download payloads directly onto the device.
How does it compare with the WiFi Pineapple Mark VII and Enterprise? We look at the different use cases, from portable testing to remotely auditing a client’s wireless network.
And yes, someone has already made it run Doom.
This is an interview and feature overview with the creator, covering the ideas, technology, and community behind the WiFi Pineapple Pager.

How do you hack a satellite? The attack can start on the ground. Watch a mission control demo showing how web vulnerabilities can change a simulated spacecraft’s orbit.
At DEF CON, I meet Milenko and Andrzej, the authors of The Spacecraft Hackers Handbook, to explore spacecraft cybersecurity. They explain the infrastructure behind satellite operations, what the Via sat attack actually targeted, and why protecting spacecraft requires both security and space engineering knowledge. Then Andrzej demonstrates previously patched vulnerabilities in an older version of mission control software. Using Burp Suite, he shows how path traversal exposes configuration files and how cross-site scripting can trigger a spacecraft command through an operator’s browser.
We cover:
• Why satellite security extends to systems on the ground
• How path traversal and XSS affect mission control software
• Telemetry, telecommands, CCSDS and the SDLS security layer
• How GPS supports timing as well as navigation
• Python examples, a prepared lab VM and learning resources
• The authors’ nine satellite cybersecurity challenges on Hack The Box
• Skills and career opportunities in spacecraft cybersecurity
The demonstration uses a spacecraft simulator. The vulnerabilities shown were disclosed to the vendor and patched.
