An Information Security Place Podcast – Episode 32

February 18th, 2010 Michael Farnum

 

OK, holy crap.  We expected this episode to be pretty short since Jim was not around to add his golden commentary, but we got to yappin’ and churned out almost an hour of content (I use that term loosely).  So enjoy the show!

Show Notes:

InfoSec News Update –

  • Iran Shutters Google’s Gmail Service, offering own email for citizens – Link here
  • Security Scoreboard – Link here
  • Brian Kreb’s has blog post used by scammers - Link here and Sophos article link here
  • The Death of Product Reviews (Mike Rothman at Securosis) - Link here
  • TSA agent arrested for molestation - Link here
We won’t get intot he details here because this guy is sick, but I had to point out this line from the TSA blog about the issue:
“TSA holds the highest standards for our workforce and this individual’s actions do not reflect on the more than 50,000 men and women who work every day to keep the traveling public safe.”
  • Hacker threat forces DoH to close appraisal site (Political Activist?) - Link here
Discussion Topic – Smaller, more intimate security conferences (Security B-Sides, Schmoocon, etc)

An Information Security Place Podcast – Episode 31

February 5th, 2010 Michael Farnum

 

Everyone was here for this episode (meaning Dan, Jim, and Michael), and it was pretty much on schedule this time. We do the normal cutting up, then talk about news and start discussing stuff. Then Dan puts the hurt down on some developer geek speak. You will definitely learn  from stuff from this episode (as opposed to the drivel you get from most of our episodes).  Very good stuff.

BTW, the format of the posts are changing just a bit. While the podcast player will stay where it usually is at the top of the post, the link to the file will now be below the posts. This is changing because when iTunes picks up the text from the feed, it throws the “Link to MP3″ text at the top, and it looks weird when looking at the show description in iTunes. Just a minor change really, but just wanted to point it out here in case that is where you grab the file. OK, now on to the show!

An Information Security Place Podcast – Episode 30

Link to MP3

The first podcast of the new year is here, and it is a nice round number!  That is sweet!  So please forgive any weirdness in the way this episode sounds.  It was put together over a couple of weeks doing interviews here and there with vendors as well as each other while we were at our (Michael and Jim) employer’s annual company meeting.  Jim is a miracle worker, but even he could not make it completely fluid!

Also, because of scheduling, Dan did not get to join us.  But Jim and I were fortunate enough to be joined by coworker and wireless uber-beast, Mr. Tyler Theys.  I think you will enjoy this episode, even with all the weirdness!

Link to MP3

OK, this was just a stupid, crazy, and fun episode.  We had technical hiccups, a roving co-host that likes to text another cohost during recording, plus this episode is late getting recorded because of end-of-year schedule.  But we powered through it, and Jim got to spend a lot of time on post-production.

I think you are going to enjoy this randomness…

An Information Security Place Podcast – Episode 25

September 15th, 2009 Michael Farnum

 

Link to MP3

Episode 25 is here.  Today’s podcast is different than our usual.  Instead of having Jim, Dan, and me spout off and pontificate, I am interviewing Wesley McGrew from McGrew Security.  Wesley is a security researcher at Mississippi State University’s Critical Infrastructure Protection Center, where he works to find vulnerabilities in SCADA software.  He also operates mcgrewsecurity.com , where he blogs about information security topics.

Wesley caught a script-kiddie back in June trying to do some pretty weak SCADA hacking at a Dallas-area hospital.  He and I talked about the incident and also discussed some of Wesley’s future plan (not much since he couldn’t divulge a lot – oooo, mysterious!).  So enjoy the show.  Links to the blog posts from Wesley’s script kiddie adventure are below.

Episode 22 is here. Jim was not available to join me this time (been traveling and real busy), so Dan Kuykendall from NT Objectives was kind enough to fill in as co-host for today. We had some good discussion, and a show that I thought would be a little shorter ended up being pretty long. But it is good stuff. Here are the show notes:

InfoSec News Update -

  • Vulnerable web servers on webcams, NAS, etc – Link Here
  • Obama’s cybersecurity Czar quits – Link Here

People familiar with the matter said Ms. Hathaway has been “spinning her wheels” in the White House, where the president’s economic advisers sought to marginalize her

politically.

In February, the White House tapped Ms. Hathaway, a senior intelligence official who had launched President George W. Bush’s cybersecurity initiative, to lead a 60-day

cybersecurity policy review. Ms. Hathaway completed her review in April, but the White House spent another 60 days debating the wording of her report and how to structure the

White House cyber post. National Economic Adviser Larry Summers argued forcefully that his team should have a say in the work of the new cyber official.

Here is Episode 17. Sorry for the delay in getting it out. Last week was extremely rough for Jim and I, but we are back at full strength now. Well, maybe 85% strength anyway.

In this show Jim and I relate the latest news as always, then we have some discussion about layoffs and how that is causing a lot of orphaned hardware and software. Then we discuss some challenges for the consultant in walking the mind field of politics at client companies.

Also, we had some listener feedback from Geir. He was busting on us a bit about our saying you need to patch your stuff when we were talking about 0day. Thanks for keeping us straight Geir.  If you want to send feedback, you can send it to podcast-at-infosecplace.com.

February 12th, 2009 Michael Farnum Comments off

Here is episode 15. There was a lot to cover in this episode. Jim and I were in discussion mode, so be prepared to sit down for a while longer than normal this time. Jim and I were also in a joking mood and consequently cracked ourselves up on this episode, so enjoy the laughter and comedy at a fellow human’s expense.

BTW, I am a milestone guy, and any time a “0″ or a “5″ is at the end of the episode number, I think it is cool. So 15 is a cool number to me. On to the show notes.

Show Notes:

Segment 1: InfoSec News Update (Michael gets to do a little talkin’ here – and he promptly screws it up):

  • New Security Awareness video on YouTube – kinda cheesey, but a pretty good production
  • Digittrade HD Encryption Broken- “in our test, unscrewing the housing took longer than cracking its encryption mechanism.”
  • Lenovo’s new Facial recognition software defeated by printed photo
  • Massachusetts new law – 201 CRM 17.00 – “Every person that owns, licenses, stores or maintains personal information about a resident of the Commonwealth shall develop, implement, maintain and monitor a comprehensive, written information security program applicable to any records containing such personal information” – a civil penalty of $5,000 may be awarded for each violation of 93H. In addition, under the portion of 93H concerning data disposal, businesses can be subject to a fine of up to $50,000 for each instance of improper disposal.  Requires – Regular Monitoring, Documenting responsive actions taken during breach, and reasonable monitors of systems.
  • File Under DUH!Symantec Discovers Cybercrime makes money – estimates value around $1.7Bil
  • Really simple PCI FAQ that you should be aware of
  • Apple and the AntiVirus Debate – In a written statement sent to security news site Securityfocus.com, Apple explained their decision to pull the document: “We have removed the KnowledgeBase article because it was old and inaccurate,” Apple said in a statement sent to SecurityFocus. “The Mac is designed with built-in technologies that provide protection against malicious software and security threats right out of the box. However, since no system can be 100 percent immune from every threat, running antivirus software may offer additional protection.”

An Information Security Place Podcast – Episode 6

September 29th, 2008 Michael Farnum

Here’s episode #6.  Jim was in a hotel room in California, so forgive any degradation in quality and the shorter-than-usual length.  Just another risk when you are a world-traveling consultant like Mr. Broome. :)

As usual, we welcome feedback of any kind (we reserve the right to delete profanity).  Please let us know how you like / dislike the show.

Also, I know the feed is broken via feedburner.  Not sure what is going on there.  I am looking into it.  For now you can download the podcast via the link below.

OK, here are the show notes:

InfoSec News Update:

  • Rsnake and Grossman’s talk on clickjacking pulled due to lack of feed back by some vendors and a request from Adobe to pull the OWASP USA talk until they issue a patch.
  • Apple and Cisco Release Patches
  • Followup – VMware Fusion 2.x not all that good!!!
  • Palin hack – We don’t give a crap anymore!

Discussion on Remote access and employee termination – Open discussion on the recent articles
and whitepapers:

Segment 2:

And the wonderful music picks from Jim:

  • Intro/Outro – Digital Breaks – “Therapy”
  • Segway 1 – Climax – “OnTheEdge”
  • Segway 2 – Climax – “Eternity”

An Information Security Place Podcast – Episode 4

September 2nd, 2008 Michael Farnum

Episode 4 is here folks.  We had a couple of times of weirdness happen, so forgive some of the bumps and weird splices going along.  Here are the things Jim and I had some discussions around:

  • More privacy rights violations, this time through people doing dumb things are just being lazy – low tech hacks
  • FEMA voicemail system hack leading to $12k of long distance calls – default password left on system!
  • Hurricane Gustav led to a discussion about DR / BC
  • PCI 1.2 and what it means for you (if you have to deal with that crap)
  • Consultant’s Corner – I blab about how you have to be prepared, set expectations, be knowledgeable, and be FLEXIBLE (I wrote a post about this).
  • Geek toys was not included this time, but it will be in the future.

Also wanted to give shout outs to Ross at http://www.secureputer.com and Jean-Christophe at http://www.phocean.net, two brand new security blogs out there, which we mentioned in the show.

Music notes:

  • Intro was Digital Breaks with “Therapy”

An Information Security Place Podcast – Episode 3

August 19th, 2008 Michael Farnum

Here’s the latest installment of the podcast.  Jim Broome talks about some of the BH / DC talks he was interested in and rubs in the fact that I didn’t get to go (he also rubs in the fact that he was in Hawaii last week – thanks Jim).

We get some closure on the Dan Kaminsky / DNS issue (well, it was closure for us anyway).

We talk a little about Alan Shimel’s adventures in pwnage.  We are not giving any details about the issue, but we give the big guy a little sympathy and some major props for his renewed sense of security importance and writing about the whole thing so we can all see how the process doesn’t work.

Then Jim busts into his favorite two segments.  One is the Geek Toy segment, where he talks about the SanDisk Sansa TakeTV device.  Very cool stuff for the traveler.  And the other segment is the Consultant’s Corner, where Jim gives some advice for writing up and presenting an executive outbrief for a project.

The rest of the podcast is just general bantering and virtually poking each other in the ribs.  We had fun with this one.  Leave some comments on what you think.  We’ll discuss some of them in the next podcast.

Music for this podcast is:

  • Digital Breaks – “Therapy”
  • Digital Droo – “Minor Things”
  • Laika Cres – “Miles and Miles”

An Information Security Place Podcast – Episode 2

August 5th, 2008 Michael Farnum

Here’s the second installment of the podcast.  Joining me is my cohort and cohost, Jim Broome.  Some of you may know Jim from his blog.  Jim is definitely one of the more technical bloggers out there, serving up all kinds of geek toy and hacking fun.  I hope to keep Jim around a long time since he has a whole lot of experience in the security field, and he is in no way shy to talk about it. :)   Also, Jim is doing most (if not all) of the mixing and production work on the podcast since he has a lot of cool toys and has experience in the broadcast industry.  So thanks Jim!

Some show notes:

  • Talk about the goals for the show
  • News talk – all about BlackHat / Defcon (and how I am not going to be there – sheesh)
    • Accuvant’s party
    • Various and sundry talks that interest us
  • Geek toys – ASUS EEEPC 1000H
  • Consultant’s Corner – Rent the SUV… it’s cheaper!

Stick with us as we get all the bugs worked out.  I hope to bring some new perspectives and liveliness to security podcasting.

Podcasting again

July 24th, 2008 Michael Farnum

I had some time last night while the kids were asleep to record a podcast.  I have been wanting to get into it again, but I just haven’t dedicated the time to it.  But I finally did it.  I explain a bit of what I am planning for this podcast (product manufacturer interviews, etc.).  Not sure yet what all I want to do, but I would like to put some time into it.  We’ll see what happens.

Mostly I talk about the DNS flaw and the issues with disclosure that have been brought out again.  It has been a while since those issues have been on the forefront, so it is interesting.  Really it is me rambling, but that is what I do best.
