Network Security Podcast, Episode 143
With the CanSecWest conference last week, right on the heels of Black Hat Europe, there have been many happenings in the security world. On top of that, our favorite investigative reporter managed to take down yet another group of bad guys by shining his flashlight in the right direction. < p>But before we delve into the week’s security news, we spend a little time talking about my shiny new Mac Pro, as Martin gives me a few parenting tips (don’t worry, we try not to bore you too much). I rant a bit on Apple’s stupidity with their cord-length on the new 24” Cinema Display. Seriously, only 3’6”? With no extension available anywhere?!? Sigh. And now, on to the show. Network Security Podcast, Episode 143, March 24, 2009 Show Notes: Brian Krebs reveals the evil that is TrafficConverter. TrafficConverter is shut down. Coincidence? Nope. Is Conficker just a big April’s Fools day joke? Yeah, right. Jeremiah Grossman is seeking quick hits in web application security. Core Security researchers reveal BIOS attack. All browsers go down at CanSecWest. Except Chrome, but no one really targeted it. (Yes, Alan, I just cribbed my own show notes again.) Share:
