Episode 4375
Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
When you open your password manager and see dozens of active sessions you don't recognize, the standard advice to "revoke everything" can break your workflows. This episode breaks down a forensic approach to session auditing — using IP geolocation, user-agent strings, and activity timestamps to triage unknown sessions. We cover the three-strike rule for identifying compromised tokens, the wave-based revocation method that prevents accidental lockouts, and why stale sessions have become the top initial access vector for ransomware groups. If you've ever stared at a session list and felt overwhelmed, this episode gives you a repeatable process.
