Show Notes:

Kirk Greene, a coworker of Jim and me, joins us today, and general hilarity ensues. Thanks for being brave enough to come on the show Kirk!

Segment 1: InfoSec News Update

• MS08-067 – Server Service Exploit – Can you say WORM!
• PauldotCom – Securing Cisco routers
• No Tech Hacking at Bluehat
• BART updating it’s Security
• Cool tool – Mapping IP to BGP AS Numbers
• A little FUD, but good info in Fortify’s paper on E-Voting
• Kirk, Jim, and I slam some vendors on drinking their own Kool-Aid, i.e. not running directly competing products in your production network!

Segment 2:

• Geek Toys – 8 Gig laptops and how Apple sucks (Jim said it!) – and Kirk reminds Jim that this is an Infosec podcast AGAIN.
• Consultants Corner – Kirk opens up the PA DSS discussion, and we talk about some possible ramifications to the POS (“point of sale” for clarification) industry
• We say goodbye, but not before we turn this whole podcast into a political debate (not really) since the next podcast will be AFTER the election (the most important one in history according to everyone that said that about the last election)

Music Notes:

• Intro/Outro – Digital Breaks – “Therapy”
• Segway 1 – Jimmie Bratcher – “Bad Religion”
• Segway 2 – Kickstart – “Theme Song”
