I recently posted on security by obscurity, and Martin McKeay and I discussed it on his most recent podcast. After taking issue with Mike Fratto’s point of view, I now find myself in the position of putting my security where my mouth is, so to speak. Here’s the deal: I have not posted for the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Martin McKeay and I just got finished recording a couple of discussions that will be on his Network Security Podcast on his blog.
