Hey everyone and welcome to Serious Business number 5! This is the podcast I do about non infosec related topics. It's less of a professional information security digest and more of an excuse for me to blab with my cohost, comedian Dan Ilic, about serious stuff every few weeks.

WARNING: Contains a fair bit of discussion about Australian politics. You may be permanently scarred after listening.

On this edition of the show we're talking to Dan about a bunch of stuff. Kanye West has apparently announced he's running for president in 2020, we talk about that. We talk about Donald Trump because, wow... just wow...

Then we move on to the depressing stuff, the European refugee crisis. Are the handful of flashpoint images and stories actually going to get people motivated about fixing the wider problem? Or will they result in a few Kickstarters to directly help the affected individuals, absolving donors of their first world guilt? We have a bob each way on that one.

We talk about the vaccination free childcare centre springing up in my 'hood -- geez, what could go wrong there -- and finally we look at the way streaming services are reshaping the media landscape, in particular the types of shows that are being commissioned. Could NetFlix spell the end of high-quality tv news and current affairs?

This is the podcast I do for shiggles with Australian comedian, radio and TV personality Dan Ilic.

This week we're talking about the nationalist, anti-Islam rallies held across Australia over the last week or so. We also chat about Donald Trump being a douche and Barack Obama's new lease of life as a lame duck president. Oh, and we also talk about the Ashley Madison hack because, hey, who isn't...

As usual for Serious Business I'm joined by AJ+ satirist, Australian comedian Dan Ilic, to discuss a few topical items of the last week, and boy, we've got some good stuff for you.. we're talking about journalist Seymour Hersh's latest investigative work -- is it pure fiction? We're talking about DeflateGate, we're talking Elon Musk being a douche and we're talking MAD MAX, Fury Road...

In this edition of Serious Business, Australia's Most Hated Man (tm) Dan Ilic and I speak about the (failed) shooting attack against a group of very silly Americans who got together to denigrate Islam.

We also speak about Apple's stupid watch. I should warn you, too, I don't edit this podcast for bad language and there are f-bombs aplenty. So if you have your kids in your car and you don't want them hearing my awful, awful language, please turn off this podcast now.

Risky Business host Patrick Gray and Australian comedian Dan Ilic talk about topics that have nothing to do with information security.

Like:

* Australia's obsession with the Gallipoli campaign and the sacking of Scott McIntyre from the SBS.

PLEASE NOTE: I didn't bother editing out naughty words in this one, so if you have kids in the car you may not wish to expose them to our awful language.

Here is the portion of my interview with Brian Snow that I didn't have room for in the main show. Snow is concerned that quantum computing breakthroughs are closer than we think and could invalidate much of the technology we depend on to secure data.

This is a recording of a panel I hosted at the Splendour in the Grass music festival forum. It features NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake, WA Greens Senator Scott Ludlam, Underground author Suelette Dreyfus and Edward Snowden's attorney Jesselyn Radack.

On this week's show we've got a cracking interview with ANU Professor and former prime ministerial advisor Hugh White about the charges brought against alleged Chinese military hackers by the US Department of Justice. That one's coming up after the news.

This week's show is brought to you by Tenable Network Security. Jack Daniel of Tenable stops by in this week's sponsor interview to talk about password managers in light of the eBay breach. Is it time we really started encouraging people to use them?

Scott Crane is Arbor Networks product manager for its Pravail line of big data security analytics division.

Scott was a part of the original PacketLoop team -- PacketLoop was an Australian start up that created some pretty impressive big data security analytics technology. It was so impressive that it wound up being acquired by Arbor Networks and is now sold under the Pravail brand.

Somehow the original team managed to convince Arbor to keep the bulk of the R&D on those products based right here in Australia. So you could say we're all pretty big fans of Scott and his team for scoring some runs for the home team. They've got 12 staff in Sydney, and they're growing.

It's been eight months since the deal was struck, so I caught up with Scott to talk about what's new in the field of big data security analytics. And interestingly enough, the Pravail tech wound up being pretty useful lately. Because it performs packet-capture based analysis, the Pravail team could help their clients roll back through their stored packet captures to see if anyone had used the Heartbleed flaw against them. Somewhat reassuringly, the Pravail guys at Arbor did not find any evidence of Heartbleed actually being used in the wild.
