How to write an infosec resume

In this advice driven episode of the Exploring Information Security podcast, I talk about my experiences writing a resume.

I received some positive feedback from people on the, "How I got into information security" episode. I've decided to try another episode where I talk about writing a resume for an information security position. Writing a resume for infosec is not unlike writing a resume for any other field. Two resources I've leaned heavily on to improve my resume are the Career Tools podcast and What Color Is Your Parachute by Richard N. Bolles. I recommend both for those looking to improve their resume.

In this episode I discuss:

What is MS08-067?

In this artistic episode of the Exploring Information Security podcast, Mubix joins me to discuss MS08-067.

Mubix (@mubix), available at room362 and Hak5, joins me to discuss one of his favorite exploits: MS08-067. I invited Mubix on to talk about MS08-067 because of a tweet he retweeted. The tweet included a confession that a consultant used the MS08-067 vulnerability to break into a clients network. This vulnerability is really old and while not widespread it does pop-up from time-to-time. I was happy to discover that Mubix has a great appreciation for the exploit.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What is MS08-067?
  • How long has it been around?
  • Why is it still around?
  • What name it would be given in today

How I got into information security

In this journey episode of the Exploring Information Security podcast, I discuss how I got into information security.

I am in a bit of a transition right now. Getting guests for the show hasn't been as much of a priority for me the last month. This is something I've been wanting to try and so naturally now is a good time to experiment. In this episode I talk about my path to information security. Which includes military service and roles as system analyst, network and system administrator.

I would appreciate feedback on this episode. I may do more of these where I'm just solo talking about my personal experiences or covering certain topics. Email me at timothy[dot]deblock[at]gmail[dot]com or hit me up on Twitter @TimothyDeBlock.
