Welcome to another edition of a Paul's Security Weekly Vault episode! This episode was previously recorded on April 5, 2012 and features an interview with none other than Dan Geer. Unfortunately there is no video for this episode, but the content is still relevant today.

Dan Geer is a renowned cybersecurity expert and visionary. With a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field, Dan has made significant contributions to our understanding of information security and its implications. In this interview, we'll explore his background, education, and delve into some of his most influential works, such as his paper on the security implications of mono-culture. My co-hosts for this interview included Jack Daniel and John Strand.

At the very end of the interview we talk about Dan giving the keynote at the Source Boston 2012 event. I've included a link to the video of that talk in the show notes for historical reference. ChatGPT summarized this keynote as follows stating: "Dan Geer discusses the claim that the internet is critical infrastructure and explores the potential hypocrisy involved in this assertion."

So, without further ado, enjoy our interview with Dan Geer!

In the Security News: There is no national cyber director, time to move away from MoveIT, update Microsoft IIS at least every 6 years, your security system is not secure, for that matter neither is your smart pet feeder, identity management is hard, at least for some, spies using spy gadgets to spy on spies, go ahead and just replace your hardware, secure boot is hard, bypassing the BIOS password (but don't try this at home, or work for that matter), Rob shaved his beard, what's new in PCI (drink, are we still drinking on PCI? If so, drink again), if your firmware isn't patched, no cloud updates for you, and Gigabyte has a backdoor!
