In this segment, we will explore some pretty awesome tools for scanning the Internet, with a focus on network edge devices. We'll bring it all together with Claude Code and look at some sample results. Tools include: Shodan | Passive recon — query existing scan data for exposed devices, services, and vulns | Passive (API) | Instant (no packets sent) ZMap | Host discovery — find live hosts with open ports | L4 (TCP SYN, UDP, ICMP) | Millions of packets/sec ZGrab2 | Application-layer handshakes — grab banners, certs, headers | L7 (30+ protocol modules) | Thousands of hosts/sec Nerva | Service fingerprinting — identify 140+ protocols with metadata, CPEs, technology stacks | L7 (TCP, UDP, SCTP) | Fast, concurrent Nuclei | Template-based vulnerability scanning — default creds, exposed panels, known CVEs | L7 (HTTP, network) | Hundreds of targets/min Shannon | Vulnerability exploitation — AI-powered whitebox pentesting of web apps | Application | ~1-1.5 hrs per target edgescan.py | Automated pipeline — orchestrates all tools above into a single command | Orchestration | End-to-end Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/psw-919

In this episode, we sit down with the Radare community leader, Pancake, the creator of the Radare2 reverse engineering framework. Whether you've never heard of Radare, already use it daily, or are thinking about contributing to its development, this conversation will demystify what makes Radare unique, why thousands of engineers rely on it, and how you can step into the community.

First up is a technical segment called "Paul's Linux Hacks". I finally got around to releasing a bunch of scripts and tutorials for Linux that I've created over the years. We'll go over scripts that can give you a supply chain security report and help you update your Arch-based Linux systems and the tutorial for using Linux KVM/Qemu/Libvirt. Repo is here: https://github.com/pasadoorian/Linux_Hacks Next up is the security news: Controlling 7,000 robot vacuums Curl finds not all AI is bad Palo Alto says "These are not the ties to China you were looking for" Bloomberg writes an article that sheds light on Ivanti Looking for BLE is a trend Don't use AI to generate you passwords New research on hacking Samsung TVs Its not all about gadgets Ring's new bug bounty Paul will be voted in as Prime Minister of Denmark?

Our field is booming! Cybersecurity jobs are projected to grow 33 percent through 2033, far outpacing the average 4 percent growth across all jobs. (And yes, those stats could be made up, but they sound nice, eh?) Yet newcomers often feel paralyzed by where to start. The truth? There's no single "right path," but there are proven strategies that work. The field needs people at all levels, and you don't need a four-year degree to break in. We'll discuss all the details, including a list of projects for beginners in Cybersecurity, plus plenty of non-technical suggestions! Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/psw-907
