Magic Packets & Stealth Backdoors: The Art of Detection Engineering
DISCARDED: Tales From the Threat Research TrenchesShow Notes
Send us fan mail! Hello to all our Cyber Daffodils! Host Selena Larson, and guest Host, Tim Kromphardt, sit down with Stuart Del Caliz, Senior Threat Detection Engineer at Proofpoint, to unpack the stealthy world of backdoors, malware detection, and the “secret signals” threat actors use to stay hidden.

Send us fan mail! Hello to all our cyber pals! This week, Selena is joined by Carsten Meywirth, head of the Cybercrime Division at Germany’s Bundeskriminalamt (BKA), to talk about how law enforcement is taking the fight to cybercriminals and why he believes the good guys are gaining ground. With more than 40 years in policing, Carsten traces the BKA’s cybercrime work from a two-person team in the 1990s to a dedicated division of roughly 300 people (and growing). He explains how the thr...
Send us fan mail! Hello to all our cyber party pals! This week, Selena is joined by co-host Sarah Sabotka (and several very persistent, very uninvited pod crashers) to talk about a threat that's landed in a lot of listeners' personal inboxes lately: malicious event invitations. Selena and Sarah walk through what these lures actually look like — polished, Evite- or Paperless Post-style invitations for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, housewarmings, and even generic "Celebrate with Me"...
Send us fan mail! Hello to all our cybernauts! This week Selena is joined by not one, not two, but three guests — Mark Kelly, Julia Paluch, and Dave Galazin — to unpack Proofpoint's latest research. Mark walks through how it started: on August 28, the China-aligned actor TA412 (aka Violet Typhoon), previously known mostly for device registration phishing, suddenly began delivering a Chrome exploit — kicking off a frantic cross-team investigation involving partners at Google and Microsoft. Wit...
Send us fan mail! Hello to our Cyber Pals! This week, Selena hands the mic over to a recording of Proofpoint's Intercepted webinar — a monthly video series she co-hosts with Sarah Sabotka — for a deep dive into how cloud brute force attacks are quietly getting more sophisticated. Joining Sarah and webinar host Jason is Rachel Rabin, a threat researcher on Proofpoint's Cloud Threat Research Team, to unpack two spoofing techniques she's seen increasingly weaponized against Microsoft Entra...
Send us fan mail! Hello to all our cyber stars! Host Selena Larson is joined by co-host Sarah Sabotka, along with returning guest Greg Lesnewich, Principal Threat Research Engineer, and Staff Threat Researcher Mark Kelly, for a follow-up to last episode's half-click deep dive — this time tracking how the technique is spreading beyond TA458 and TA488 into a brand-new Chinese cluster. Greg picks up where last week left off with TA488 (aka Void Blizzard, aka Laundry Bear): after going quiet in F...
