  • 077: You have ruined me

    No honey yet, but we now have a "Days Since Last Facebook Scandal" counter. If you only had an hour to talk security, what would you say? SnapChat joins Facebook, and not in a good way, so just plan for some users being evil. If your name is Jared and you played high school lacrosse, the world is your oyster (apparently). MS-SQL and PHP together enjoy some rootkit malware and another Docker bug. Finally: Earthquakes, Murals and Table Saws.

  • 076: Vowel Shortage in the Valley

    Eric and Jon are in Arizona; people seem to like the bees, and Jon gets to revel in his Bitcode conspiracy a little more.

  • 075: I Am Very Easily Distracted

    I've always wondered if anyone actually bothers to read the summary. You know, if I don't "summarize" the episode, would anyone notice? If they did, would they care - and now that I've started the summary this way, do I go ahead and actually summarize anyway? Like, should I mention Jon talking about bees again? Or the quick little follow ups on MDS Attacks, GitHub's Package Registry or Social Proofs? Hacking the "unhackable" might be a good thing to mention, along with a software update "crashing" ankle monitors in the Netherlands. Oh, yeah - and then there's the SHA-1 Collision Attacks that are moving from theoretical to practical. But surely nobody wants to know about learning languages at an older age or photobioreactors in space or the fact that scientists have created a living organism from human-made DNA...

    Go see Avengers. And don't be jealous, Star Wars, just Use the Force, Harry. Data on Let's Encrypt, HoloLens' live demo doesn't, and we reference two past episodes (37 and 39). Ransomware is targeting source on GitHub, Jon talks containers for Too Long, and a clever CSS hack. For fun, Eric likes the Texas Sand Fest winner and an AirPod that's 'been there, done that.' (no thank you). Jon is excited for Windows Terminal (go browse the source!).
