On this week's show we're chatting with security researcher Charlie Miller about the work he's been doing with Chris Valasek on hacking cars. It's fun stuff, but yeah, it might make you want to go back to driving an older car.
This week's show is sponsored by BugCrowd. We've got a great interview with BugCrowd founder and CEO Casey Ellis about a really, really interesting little case study he went through involving a random bug-hunter who'd tried blackmailing a BugCrowd client. The solution they came up with was ingenious and spectacularly lulzy.
