Past, Present & Future of Offensive Security w/ HD Moore

HD Moore started the Metasploit framework project in 2003, forever changing the game on offensive security. Today, he serves as the CEO of runZero, mapping out global networks from behind the firewall. In this episode, HD dives into the scrappy early days of internet security and dumpster diving for computer parts, why the AI revolution might make traditional vulnerability research and CVEs obsolete, and the brute-force reality of modern cybersecurity venture capital. 

HD also explores how his deep technical roots helped him build runZero to $1M ARR as a solo operation, plus he shares the hilarious history of how the Blaster worm broke the internet using Metasploit's default port.
