Risky Business #245 -- Drop boxes for the win

Presented by

In this week's podcast we're chatting with Jonathan Cran of Pwnie Express.

Pwnie Express makes dropboxes that were designed to be used by pentesters. Funnily enough people have actually found all sorts of non-illicit uses for them.

In this week's sponsor interview we chat with HackLabs' penetration tester Jody Melbourne to ask if there's a future for hacktivists after SQLi bugs are a thing of the past.

In this week's news segment with Adam Boileau we discuss the following items:
