    Switchborn - Episode 013 - The illusion of language safety

    Switchborn, the defiant cyber manifesto from hacker sage Marcus Frex, debunks the myth of "memory-safe" languages like Rust as silver bullets for security, likening them to alchemists' flawed crucibles that can't replace true artistry, intuition, and paranoia in coding. Marcus slams complacency bred by tools, credential theater, and AI-generated mediocrity, urging developers to master the craft—embrace low-level languages for perspective, assume adversarial scrutiny, and prioritize logic over syntax to outwit threats. A rallying cry for aspiring artisans, skeptical builders, and rebels valuing mind over machinery in the chaotic digital forge.

    Switchborn - Episode 012 - AI in Cybersec is NOT a revolution, it's a goldrush

    Switchborn, the unyielding cyberpunk critique from Marcus Frex, dismantles the AI hype in cybersecurity as a recycled gold rush, vendors rebranding basic algorithms as revolutionary saviors, echoing blockchain's scams and Tulip Mania's folly, while inflating attack surfaces with brittle, poisonable models that promise autonomy but deliver illusions. Marcus champions human intuition, skeptical testing, and timeless fundamentals over noisy jackhammers, urging a return to the hacker's artistry where true power lies in silent mastery, not vendor fog. A blistering rebuke for jaded CISOs, discerning techies, and rebels piercing the hype's veil in the digital storm.

    Switchborn - Episode 011 - Never Trust Oracle

    Switchborn, the searing cyberpunk saga from Marcus Frex, exposes the betrayal of "secure" tech giant Oracle, whose 2025 E-Business Suite zero-day flaw let the Cl0p syndicate silently siphon terabytes of corporate secrets for months via unchained exploits, revealing a negligent empire prioritizing profits over protection. Marcus decries this "enshittification" of cybersecurity, vendor driven credential theater over genuine defense, urging listeners to trust proactive hunters who map vulnerabilities and plan beyond the sale, not brittle logos peddling sandcastles. A fierce call for cyber rebels, skeptic leaders, and seekers of uncompromised truth in a flawed digital realm.

    Switchborn - Episode 010 - Cybersecurity Cershitification

    Switchborn, the unflinching cyber manifesto from Marcus Frex, eviscerates "cershitification", the credential theater of cybersecurity badges and vendor myths that peddle paper shields over real resilience, trapping leaders in budget-flattering illusions while true defense demands a hunter's culture of proactive traps, adversary profiling, and outcome-driven habits. Marcus contrasts fragile empires built on narrative with wild builders who level up through action, urging a return to first principles: measure by unseen victories, plan beyond the win, and dismantle threats catastrophically, not ceremonially. A searing wake-up for burnt-out defenders, skeptical execs, and aspiring alphas ready to hunt the shadows.

    In the this weeks' episode, Frex contrasts principles of proactive cybersecurity.

    Switchborn - Episode 008 - Enshittification of Cybersecurity

    Switchborn, the raw cyberpunk odyssey from Marcus Frex, skewers the "enshittification" of cybersecurity, a hollow race to cheap illusions where automated scanners and AI hype peddle pretty PDFs over genuine protection, as exposed by blunders like the 2017 Equifax breach. Marcus champions unbuyable artistry, human curiosity, and integrity amid corporate checklists, urging listeners to demand real fortresses over flattering facades in a digital world where true security whispers from the shadows of consequence. A rallying cry for discerning defenders, ethical innovators, and rebels against the commodified void.

    Switchborn - Episode 007 - The Endgame You Forgot

    Switchborn, the enigmatic podcast from Marcus Frex, unravels the double-edged sword of cyberwarfare through the lens of Stuxnet, a once-secret U.S.-Israeli digital strike that crippled Iran's nuclear ambitions but ignited a global arms race when it escaped containment. Marcus dissects how tactical triumphs unravel into strategic blunders without endgame foresight, blending historical intrigue, ethical contradictions, and whispers from the digital shadows where Switchborn lurks as a harbinger of unforeseen consequences. A must for cyber strategists, policy skeptics, and explorers of tech's chaotic undercurrents.

    Switchborn - Episode 006 - Tale of Virus Selim

    Switchborn, the introspective podcast, this week dismantles media myths glorifying digital thieves as masterminds, using cases like Albert Gonzalez's crude credit card empire to highlight the ruinous path of easy exploitation over true artistry. Marcus recounts a shattering meeting with his boyhood legend "Virus Selim," exposed as a fugitive fraudster peddling stolen data, blending tales of envy, betrayal, and moral crossroads with meditations on choosing hardship for growth and the guiding, awakening essence of Switchborn toward evolutionary legend.
