Show 264: Design & Build 8: NSX Deployment

NSX has become a popular option for data center network virtualization. If you do choose to go with NSX, what should you be thinking about?

Risky Business #390 — Crypto derpery abounds in wake of Paris attacks

In this week's feature interview we're checking in with FireEye's Jonathan Wrolstad. He's a threat intelligence guy at FireEye and they've just published a really interesting report about what a threat group is doing in terms of target recon.

PQ Show 64: OpenFlow TTPs Won’t Save Us with Rob Sherwood

On this Packet Pushers Priority Queue, we interview Rob Sherwood, CTO of Big Switch Networks, to gain an alternate view on OpenFlow TTPs (table type patterns). We first talked about TTPs in Weekly 220 in a discussion with Curt Beckmann back in January 2015. While Curt was fairly enthused that TTPs were going to move the ball forward, Rob is not convinced that TTPs are the long-term answer to make it easier for OpenFlow controllers and switches to share capabilities.

Risky Business #389 — US law: CFAA isn’t a bug, it’s a feature!

On this week's show we're chatting with computer crime lawyer extraordinaire Tor Ekeland! He's worked on a number of high profile CFAA cases. Most recently he's been defending former Reuters and LA Times journalist Matthew Keys on some pretty hefty CFAA charges. He's also the guy who got Andrew Aurenheimer out of jail so he could go and live a free life as a Nazi troll. (Is that really a win?) He also defended Lauri Love... basically if you're a hacker who's fallen foul of the CFAA, this is the guy you want on your team.
