My audiovisual
#podcast "Bitcoin Security Maps - the Art of Civilian Intelligence" is an attempt to map
#holistic #multidimensional #InfoSec concepts surrounding
#Bitcoin and the prime industry of
#electrical #energy distribution in civilization.
The specialist point of view I take is through the work I do in Cyber Security - Web Application Penetration Testing. Moreover, I believe it is valuable to have increasing clarity about how and why nations operate in order to know one's own civilian place in the system, to be able to participate correspondingly in society.

Practical understanding of this Secret layer (which I mention in other articles and podcast episodes) is essential to any Security Operatives working with transformative technologies interwoven with prime industries of the macroeconomy. One such example is Bitcoin.
Within popular Cyber Security frameworks which describe the progression of a cyberattack or the equivalent professional ethical hacking methodologies, Reconnaissance (Recon) is the first stage and involves researching the potential target. It is used to identify the scope, the technologies used and public information for building an understanding of the system. If you need a more human team sports analogy, it is what most players are doing most of the time during a game.
My latest article "Web App Sec RECON — Black Box Foundations and TTPs" offers a glimpse into this
#WebAppSec dimension and forms the general foundation for a series about Recon on my podcast.
