This week's show is sponsored by Check Point Software.

In it we check in with Belgium-based security guy, spare-time researcher and noodler Didier Stevens.

We're talking to Didier about a weird little project he unveiled a couple of months ago. He's taken the source code from the command interpreter from ReactOS and compiled it into a DLL that he can shove into memory.

That way he gets shell without launching a new process. I got him on the show to ask him what the hell's wrong with Meterpreter for that sort of thing.

I hear you. I really enjoyed

I hear you. I really enjoyed the tune and couldn't wait any longer so I had to ask. I did find out the name of the song and the ''Band'''. However, I cheated so I won't tell.

Thanks Pat

Now I'm going to be bugged trying to figure out this song all day.

I'll have the boss contact you for my lack of productivity today...

Its from the "ashtray scene"

Its from the "ashtray scene" in Malcom. I could not remember if it was from Malcom or the Big Steal.

Anyway sitting down after lunch today I was flicking around and there was Malcom on the box. I watched the last 40 mins smirking to myself.

Colin Friels is great in the role.

You got it. I included it

You got it. I included it because every Australian geek over 30 should remember that scene from when they were kids. :)
