December 03, 2015 Risky Business #392 -- A look at Silverpush with Kevin Finisterre
On this week's show we're chatting with Kevin Finisterre about Silverpush --
the creepy ultrasonic audio-beaconing technology used by advertising
companies that was in the press a couple of weeks ago. Kevin was all over it
and he joins me to discuss the growing overlap between the techniques used by
marketers and blackhats.

November 26, 2015 Risky Business #391 -- Dell fails hard
On this week's show we're chatting with Darren Kemp of Duo Security. He's one
of the authors of a post about the latest example of computer manufacturer
shitware introducing catastrophic vulnerabilities into shipped systems. This
time it's Dell's turn.
If you haven't heard what they actually did you'll hardly even believe it.
That's this week's feature interview.

November 20, 2015 Risky Business #390 -- Crypto derpery abounds in wake of Paris attacks
In this week's feature interview we're checking in with FireEye's Jonathan
Wrolstad. He's a threat intelligence guy at FireEye and they've just
published a really interesting report about what a threat group is doing in
terms of target recon. They're using marketing company tricks to recon all
sorts of high value targets. It's very interesting stuff, and it's likely
tied to the Russian state.

November 12, 2015 Risky Business #389 -- US law: CFAA isn't a bug, it's a feature!
On this week's show we're chatting with computer crime lawyer extraordinaire
Tor Ekeland! He's worked on a number of high profile CFAA cases. Most
recently he's been defending former Reuters and LA Times journalist Matthew
Keys on some pretty hefty CFAA charges. He's also the guy who got Andrew
Aurenheimer out of jail so he could go and live a free life as a Nazi troll.
(Is that really a win?) He also defended Lauri Love... basically if you're a
hacker who's fallen foul of the CFAA, this is the guy you want on your team.

November 05, 2015 Risky Business #388 -- Cyber shrinkery, IoT shenanigans and guest Troy Hunt
This week's feature interview is with Troy Hunt of HaveIBeenPwned.com. And
he's noticing something pretty weird. It's common for people to deface
websites for bragging rights, and yeah, it's not new that data dumps are the
new bragging fodder. But it seems like these days attackers are seeing Troy's
site as the definitive place to get cred. Now they'll steal a bunch of data
and Troy is their first stop.
Life is strange on the internets. That's this week's feature interview.

October 29, 2015 Risky Business #387 -- Hack people to death!
In this week's feature interview we're chatting with Chris Rock from
Kustodian. Chris did a great presentation at Ruxcon last week about how easy
it is to hack people to death!
He's found out just how easy it is to register births and deaths in the
united states and Australia via online systems. He says it's a problem that
could result in a virtual baby harvest for fraudsters who plan ahead. It's
really fun stuff, that's this week's feature.

October 09, 2015 Risky Business #386 -- Katie Moussouris on the (groan) disclosure debate
On this week's show we're checking in with Katie Moussouris of HackerOne.
She's an ex Microsoftie who's spent something like a decade working on
vulnerability disclosure policies. She even helped get a vuln disclosure ISO
standard ratified!
And she'll be joining us this week to discuss disclosure politics, I guess
you'd call it... for those of us who've been around infosec for a while, most
of us would rather stick our face in a blender than talk about it, but Katie
will be along to point out why people should fight their "disclosure debate
fatigue" and get involved.

October 02, 2015 Risky Business #385 -- Richard Bejtlich talks USA/China espionage agreement
******LANGUAGE WARNING: The f-bomb features, unbleeped, once in this week's
show. Just a note for those of you with the kids in the car.
On this week's show we're chatting with FireEye's chief security strategist
Richard Bejtlich about this new agreement between China and the USA. The two
countries have apparently agreed that they won't hack each other with the aim
of stealing IP anymore. Questions to Richard include: Are they kidding? And:
How did they announce this with a straight face?

September 24, 2015 Risky Business #384 -- Mark Dowd talks AirDrop pwnage, XCode iOS scandal
We've got a great show for you this week. Mark Dowd drops by to talk about
the recent spate of Trojaned iOS apps that made it into Apple's China App
Store. We also talk to him about his awesome AirDrop bug. How did it work?
This week's sponsor segment is actually a real cracker. Context IS consultant
David Klein tells us how he owned an entire cloud platform by enumerating
some shitty 90s-style bugs in some third party libraries they were using.
It's comedy gold. This cloud platform that uses security at a selling point.
It's bad.

September 17, 2015 Risky Business #383 -- Inside FireEye's research gag
On this week's show we take a look at what the hell it happening in Germany, where FireEye sought and obtained an ex parte injunction against a bunch of security researchers over a presentation they were about to do at 44Con. We speak with infosec lawyer Alex Urbelis -- he was at 44Con when all this came to light and he shares his insights.
