Risky Business #345 -- Advanced sock puppetry and news website manipulation
Presented by
CEO and Publisher
Technology Editor
On this week's show we're taking a look at how you -- YES YOU -- can game online media. Find out how you can make comments on major news sites just disappear with one line of bash! Find out how you can drive a cupcake recipe into the "most popular" stories box on the world's major news sites!
That's a chat with Azhar Desai of Thinkst and it's this week's feature.
This week's show is brought to you be Tenable Network Security, thanks to them. And in this week's sponsor interview we're speaking with Tenable strategist Jack Daniel about his latest project Shoulders of Infosec. It's essentially a history project that seeks to record the achievements of infosec discipline pioneers.
Adam Boileau, as always, joins the show to talk about the week's infosec news.
