Episode 15 with Sergei Frankoff

Author: Kyle & David August 27, 2020 Duration: 1:04:48
This week on Moscow Mules and NOP Slides, we have Sergei Frankoff (@herrcore and https://www.openanalysis.net). Another podcast filled with jokes and laughter, Sergei wets his whistle with a refreshing Corona straight from the bottle. He talks about his journey into cyber security from starting as a developer to a pentester to an IR manager to his current role as a reverse engineer. He also highlights his personal two-week approach on how he switched careers to a reverse engineer. We discuss how TwitterSOC (the InfoSec community on Twitter) helps to combat empire building as well as his new free malware unpacking service called UNPACME (https://www.unpac.me). We also discuss the OALabs YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/OALabs) where he and Sean ((@seanmw) the other half of OpenAnalysis) build malware tutorials for the community. We talk about how a reverse engineer should use the channel (be sure to check out the Bloopers video) as well as his enjoyment of video editing (i.e. Thug Life IDA).  David drinks a @SwitchbackBeer Ale which is a "well balanced reddish amber ale" out of a Synth Hop (IG synth.hop) Hulk Smash large tumbler glass. Kyle sips on a @NewTrailBrewing IPA called Rock Run out of a Hop Killers (IG hopkillers) TMNT Donatello "Solo Cup" style glass. Thank you to Sergei for being a guest and the great conversation! We hope you enjoy. Please don't forget to subscribe!

Hosts Kyle & David invite you to pull up a chair for Moscow Mules and NOP Slides, a conversation that lives at the unique intersection of craft and code. Each episode connects with a guest from the cyber security world, but the talk starts with what's in their glass-or mug, or bottle. That ritual beverage, whether it's a meticulously brewed coffee, a homemade kombucha, a classic cocktail, or a simple soda, becomes a gateway into the real stories behind their work and personal projects. This podcast is built on the idea that the best discussions about technology, hobbies, and leisure happen when people are simply being themselves, sharing the details of their craft alongside the details of their favorite drink. You'll hear unfiltered shop talk about security challenges and creative pursuits, all framed by the personal tastes and routines that define a professional's day. It’s a relaxed, often humorous look at the people behind the screens, exploring how they unwind, focus, and innovate. In every episode of this podcast, the common thread is a genuine curiosity about how people "wet their whistle" and where their minds go when they do.
