We've got a great feature interview for you all this week. We're chatting with convicted spy, prison escapee and bank robber Christopher Boyce, aka The Falcon. We speak to him about the changing face of espionage; Wikileaks, Manning, Snowden and the radically changed world that awaited him when he walked out of prison.
This week's show is brought to you by Context Information Security, and in this week's sponsor interview we're chatting with Context consultant Paul Stone about the research he presented at the most recent BlackHat USA conference in Vegas. It picked up a lot of buzz -- his was the talk about doing pixel-by-pixel screen scraping with html5-based timing attacks.
It's ingenious stuff, that's a cracker interview, so big thanks again to Context IS for sponsoring this week's show.
