In this edition of RB2 you'll hear Paul Craig's Kiwicon 3 presentation, Hacking Scientists. As you'll hear, Paul has developed some fuzzing methodologies that he's applied to scientific software.

This sort of software -- chemistry stuff, fluid dynamics stuff etc -- is used by weapons designers, pharmaceutical engineers, car manufacturers and all sorts of very interesting people.

In other words, this software is found on the same systems as the world's most valuable IP. It's good stuff to find bugs in.

You might recognise Paul's voice -- in addition to working for Security-Assessment.com he's a regular contributor to the RB2 podcast. Enjoy!
