Hack Media: Security podcasts
Hack Media: Security podcasts:
Do you want to listen to four and a half hours of security podcasts? Well, you don’t have to because I did. Here are the highlights from podcasts released this last week:
Security Now! #27 How Local Area Networks Work, Part 1 37:09 If you
don’t know the difference between DHCP and static IP, then this is the podcast for you! Next week promises to be a
little more interesting when they get into the problems with ARP.
CyberSpeak Feb 18 76:36 has some pretty good news
coverage, but the real highlight is the interview with Bruce Potter from The Shmoo
Group that starts after 20:00. If you don’t know about the group and the work they’ve done, this is a good
intro.
LiveAmmo: Digital
Forensics and Hacking Investigations, Part 2 46:54 Woof. If you are persuing digital forensics as a career then
this would be a great start. Otherwise, avoid, unless you want to know what particular subsection of a law you are
violating.
SploitCast #006 36:26 probably has the best
atmosphere of these podcasts (and it’s the shortest). The team covers the recent news of a
phishing site using a valid SSL cert.
You could probably wait till next week when they talk to Lance
James to get all of the details. I will say that the Web 2.0 discussion is about as inane as arguing which year the
millennium starts. They do earn some extra points since my mom doesn’t read
Schneier.
Blue Box #16 69:00 is all about VoIP and
naturally the best produced. I don’t follow VoIP very closely, so the news roundup for the first 20 minutes was really
interesting. If you aren’t doing enterprise VoIP then this podcast isn’t for you.
Each of these had some high points (even LiveAmmo). They could all do better if they were shorter. I would say that
CyberSpeak was my favorite this week, but I don’t want to encourage another 76 minute podcast. What podcasts do you
recommend?
