Know Your Adversary with HD Moore

In this episode of Know Your Adversary, Jared Atkinson and Justin Kohler are joined by HD Moore, CEO of runZero. Drawing from decades of experience in offensive security, vulnerability research, and network discovery, HD shares his perspective on how defenders can better understand the real attack surface of modern enterprise environments.

The discussion explores the intersection of identity and network security, including runZeroHound, HD's BloodHound OpenGraph project that brings network topology and exposure data into attack path analysis. The group examines how security dependencies, hidden connectivity, and infrastructure exposure create opportunities for attackers that traditional vulnerability management often misses.

Along the way, they discuss OT and industrial networks, the myth of air-gapped environments, the growing impact of AI on offensive security, and why understanding how systems are connected may be more important than understanding individual.
