Risky Business #388 — Cyber shrinkery, IoT shenanigans and guest Troy Hunt
This week's feature interview is with Troy Hunt of HaveIBeenPwned.com. And he's noticing something pretty weird. It's common for people to deface websites for bragging rights, and yeah, it's not new that data dumps are the new bragging fodder.

Life is strange on the internets. That's this week's feature interview.

IETF Yokohama: Day 3

TCP Port Numbers for Contemporary Applications
A list of default TCP port numbers for contemporary applications such as Docker, Elastic, OpenStack and Puppet. Why?
