Listen on
mpgn's French-language interview podcast focused on offensive security — pentesters, red teamers, CTF players, and tool authors talking craft. The host's own background as a CrackMapExec / NetExec maintainer gives him technical credibility with guests, and the conversations get into actual tooling and methodology in ways most podcasts don't.
Who it's for
French-speaking pentesters, red teamers, and offensive-security students who want practitioner-to-practitioner conversation in their own language. Particularly valuable for anyone working with the Impacket / NetExec / BloodHound stack, since mpgn knows that ecosystem from the inside.
Who it's not for
Defenders looking for blue-team perspective; the show is unapologetically offensive-leaning. Also wrong if you want polished narrative production — this is a hosted-conversation podcast where the value is the technical depth, not the audio production.
Key takeaways
- mpgn's own technical chops mean guests don't get away with hand-waving; episodes on Active Directory attack chains, AV/EDR evasion, and tool development go deeper than the usual interview format allows.
- The roster of guests over the years is a who's-who of the French and European offensive-security scene, including names that rarely appear on English-language podcasts.
- The format has stayed consistent — long interviews, minimal editing — which makes the back catalog easy to mine by topic.
Notes
Pair with The Cyber Mentor for the English-language offensive-security counterpart, with NoLimitSecu for the broader French industry context, and with the NetExec / BloodHound / Impacket documentation since many episodes effectively annotate that tooling. Independently produced. Strong recommendation for anyone in offensive security working in French.
