Risky Business #323 -- Sabu, TrueCrypt march into history?

Plus a chat with Micah Lee about Onionshare...
29 May 2014 » Risky Business

On this week's show we've got a great interview with Micah Lee. He works for The Intercept, the publication Glenn Greenwald set up to report on the Snowden leaks. He's developed a very simple file transfer tool for ToR called Onionshare. It's a very simple utility that has a bunch of interesting applications.

This week's show is brought to you by Rapid7, thanks a bunch to the guys and gals there. Rapid7's Lee Weiner drops in to talk about how we lock down corporate security in a world where most of your users re-use their VPN passwords on every website they ever join.
