This week's feature guest is Haroon Meer of Thinkst Applied Research. He's launched an awesome new site called Phish5.com that allows sysadmins and security consultants to automate phishing campaigns against their own networks and clients.
It's a brilliant idea and well executed.
This week's show is brought to you by the fine folks at Microsoft, and we chat with Microsoft's Jerry Bryant later on about the expansion of the company's MAPP program. If you're an incident responder you really want to hear about this -- you can now submit suspect samples to Microsoft and they'll inspect them for 0day. World-class triage at your fingertips.
