Richard Bejtlich talks with Corelight Principal Technical Marketing Engineer Mark Overholser about what it takes to run the Black Hat Network Operations Center and keep a “hostile” training network safe. They walk through how partners like Corelight, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Arista, and Lumen build and monitor the conference network, how the team tells lab traffic from real infections, and why misconfigured self hosted services still show up in surprising ways.

Richard Bejtlich sits down with Vince Stoffer, Corelight's Field CTO, to dive into the recent wave of cyberattacks attributed to Chinese threat actors, known as "Typhoon" groups. Vince unpacks the distinctions between "Volt Typhoon," targeting critical infrastructure sectors such as energy and transportation, and "Salt Typhoon," which is infiltrating telecommunications networks for espionage. The conversation explores the evolving tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by these groups, including their exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities and outdated infrastructure.
