A year after Kolide released Honest Security, the issues that were covered in the manifesto remain, but how have they made it to the market? Much of this story can be told through the eyes of Harlie Hardage, a senior security specialist at 1Password who helped bring Kolide to the company in 2021. Having found the values of Honest Security were so well aligned with the strict values at 1Password (autonomy, responsibility, and kindness), it was an easy decision to make.

Black Hat comes around every year and we sometimes end up having to respond quickly, like making sure we’ve patched all the things! Today we’re joined by Luke Roberts and Calum Hall who presented research on bending the mdmclient and custom agents to their will in order to see how an attacker might go after Apple devices.

One of the best things you can do to boost productivity and save yourself time is automate tasks. (For example, we love moving workflows into Slack.) In this episode Tom, Marcus, and Charles interview Ella Hansen of IgnitionIT and discuss stringing together workflows using tools like Slack and Google Apps Script to help make real humans more productive. It’s a pretty awesome thing to do.

Threat hunting and forensics is possibly one of the most interesting aspects of IT. It’s like we’re starring in our own version of one of those crime shows. But we can wear sweats and pet the cat while we work. No, we still can’t have two people typing on the same keyboard like on TV but thank you for asking. But we do get a glimpse into some pretty cool stuff

Most Mac Admins use a device management tool – be it agentless (ie MDM which arguably has a first party agent) or one that uses an agent to provide more capabilities than the MDM protocol does on its own. Recently, we’ve seen a number of attacks that target systems used to keep computers updated and matching security requirements. Today’s episode explores a recent article in Wired about the potential behind supply chain attacks on the Jamf platform – with about the best people you could be having talk about it, people from Jamf!

Sometimes compliance seems like a bunch of checkboxes. And it can be. But in today’s episode we’re going to spend some time looking at what all those checkboxes mean, where they came from, and how we as admins might be impacted when our organization starts the process of acting like a grown up. Our guest is Shrav Mehta of Secureframe, who unpacks what all this means to us.

Most Macadmins use Suspicious Package regularly. Many also use Apparency. But few know much about the person behind all this awesomeness. In today’s episode we’ll interview Randy Saldinger, of Mothers Ruin Software and talk about plenty of suspicious topics, from packaging to making software scriptable to… the future of distribution (or as much as we can ascertain given the current available information).

Most Mac Admins use a lot of Apple products. A lot of us also use Homekit either at home or at work. And some of us run a special server just to bridge all the things (maybe running on a Mac or a pihole in the basement). We’ve discussed home automation on the pod, but in today’s episode we’ll dig in deeper, with developers from the popular hombridge.
