Intrinsic Benefits Of Certification
I’m gearing up for a new certification effort, but after eighteen years of progressive experience in IT, a piece of paper or some new initials in my email signature was an extrinsic motivator I didn’t need. Still I found something about the entire process inviting and realized that it was the intrinsic benefits of certification […]

Risky Business #378 — Mary Ann Davidson vs Krebs and Dowd
On this week's show we're chatting with Mark Dowd and Brian Krebs about Oracle CSO Mary Ann Davidson's somewhat odd blog post from earlier this week. In the post she laid into security researchers for violating Oracle's EULA when reverse engineering their products. The post got pulled, much drama, we sift through the ashes of that. Plus we chat to Brian about the daring $46.7m online heist against Ubiquiti Networks.
SDN Controller Benchmarking
There’s been a lot of talk of late on the performance of centralized network controllers (such an odd thing to say when you think about it, but there it is). Ethan recently had a post up on the topic of scaling and SDNs that overlaps with this topic, and SDN Testing ran some interesting tests […]

Risky Business #376 — Sniper rifles, bank safes and Android all pwned
This week we're checking in with Josh Drake of Zimperium. With exploitation of Stagefright via Josh's sweet, sweet exploit you'd think the mother of all worms is coming. Well, probably not. Later versions of Android are tricky to exploit, and the diversity of hardware in earlier versions means coming up with one exploit to rule them all isn't really feasible. We'll drill down into that with Josh in a little while.
Risky Business #375 — Ashley Madison, Jeep hacks drive news agenda
In this week's feature interview we're chatting with Dave Jorm, our resident North Korea watcher. Some of you might remember Dave, he was on the show a couple of years ago talking about his OSINT satellite data analysis of North Korea and more recently he popped by to talk about software defined networking security.
Risky Business #374 — Anti-Flash sentiment sweeps the globe
On this week's show we'll be checking in with Richard Forno on the fallout from the OPM breach. Richard has been kicking around in DC infosec circles for a long time now and he let's us know what the mood is like inside the beltway.
In this week's sponsor interview we chat with Chris Gatford of HackLabs! HackLabs is an Australia-based pentesting and consulting firm and we're speaking to Chris about the changing nature of security consultancies.
Adam Boileau, as usual, joins the show to discuss the week's news, which has been dominated by calls for the axing of the Flash plugin and the continued fallout from the Hacking Team breach.
Risky Business #373 — Hacking Team gets owned. Quite a lot.
Obviously the Hacking Team breach is the big story of the week and we'll be jumping right into that.
It's a jam packed podcast this week -- we check in with Dave Aitel of Immunity to talk about the impending Wassenaar Arrangement disaster about to hit America. We're also joined by Claudio Guarnieri.
Claudio has spent years tracking Hacking Team's malware to the darkest regions of the planet. For a long time he's been claiming Hacking Team were up to no good, now we know he was right. We get him on to the show for a well-earned gloat.
