I’m going to be installing wiki software and recruiting some folks to help us do proper full show notes for each episode. We’re also looking for people to help out with the forums, IRC, and research for technical segments. If you can contribute in any way we’ll make sure you get recognized.
Remember to hit up the T-Shirt and Sticker page. Soon I will remove the T-Shirt donate link as I will be shipping the box of T-Shirts to Jay to take with him to Defcon. Hit us up on the forums, or at irc.freenode.net #securabit. Thanks for listening!
Last night we decided to discuss a little more on the DNS vulnerability issue that’s been the hot topic everywhere in terms of detection and defense. Thanks to guest Chris Wilson for his invaluable insight into the snort signature we were provided by alexkirk in #snort on irc.freenode.net.
We also discussed detection of encrypted traffic on a network, and some of the implications of it.
Today we introduce a new portion of the show: SecuraBytes. SecuraBytes are unannounced episodes, they could be last minute interviews or just more beer induced security speak. So, without further ado, here is the first SecuraByte from the SecuraBit Podcast.
Wesley McGrew of McGrew Security, Martin McKeay of the Network Security Blog / Podcast, and some guy named Joel joined Rob Fuller and Anthony Gartner last night to discuss the DNS vulnerability leakage that happened about quitting time yesterday (7/21). We discuss the leak, how the vulnerability works, mitigating, and the potential it has on mass scales. Every one of the gentlemen that joined us, and we here at SecuraBit urge you to patch as soon as possible. If you need further information, please check the following links:
We also want to announce that our T-Shirts have arrived, which you can get here! Stickers will be available very soon! As always, hit up the forums and start talking security with other professionals, pop into our irc at irc.freenode.net #securabit (cloaks coming soon!), and send any feedback to feedback@securabit.com or through the contact page on the site here!
Hopefully you got a cool Securabit T-shirt out of it!
