NBN Book of the Day - Eric Hayot, “Humanist Reason: A History. An Argument. A Plan” (Columbia UP, 2021)
Scientists have scientific reason and use the scientific method. Humanists have... Emotion? Close reading? Not so, argues Eric Hayot in
Humanist Reason: A History. An Argument. A Plan (Columbia UP, 2021). Contrary to popular belief, the humanities involve both reasoning and methods. Humanist reason, Hayot shows, is philosophically and historically grounded and applicable to almost every discipline. Part history of philosophy, part methods handbook, and part manifesto, Humanist Reason will change the way we advocate for the humanities in the twenty-first century.
Claire Clark is a medical educator, historian of medicine, and associate professor in the University of Kentucky’s College of Medicine. She teaches and writes about health behavior in historical context.

If you use email, there is a good chance you’re familiar with email scams. Who hasn’t gotten a shady chain letter or suspicious offer in their inbox? Cybercriminals have been using email to spread malware for decades and today’s methods are more sophisticated than ever. In order to stop these attacks from ever hitting our inboxes in the first place, threat analysts have to always be one step ahead of these cybercriminals, deploying advanced and ever-evolving tactics to stop them.
On today’s podcast, hosts Nic Fillingham and Natalia Godyla are joined by Elif Kaya, a Threat Analyst at Microsoft. Elif speaks with us about attacker email infrastructure. We learn what it is, how it’s used, and how her team is combating it. She explains how the intelligence her team gathers is helping to predict how a domain is going to be used, even before any malicious email campaigns begin. It’s a fascinating conversation that dives deep into Elif’s research and her unique perspective on combating cybercrime.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- The meaning of the terms “RandomU” and “StrangeU”
- The research and techniques used when gathering intelligence on attacker email structure
- How sophisticated malware campaigns evade machine learning, phish filters, and other automated technology
- The history behind service infrastructure, the Netcurs takedown, Agent Tesla, Diamond Fox, Dridox, and more
Some Questions We Ask:
- What is attacker email infrastructure and how is it used by cybercriminals?
- How does gaining intelligence on email infrastructures help us improve protection against malware campaigns?
- What is the difference between “attacker-owned infrastructure” and “compromised infrastructure”?
- Why wasn’t machine learning or unsupervised learning a technique used when gathering intelligence on attacker email campaigns?
- What should organizations do to protect themselves? What solutions should they have in place?
