Risky Business #367 -- Tor Project lead Roger Dingledine
Presented by
CEO and Publisher
Technology Editor
This week's show is a bit different. I've prepared it while in South Africa. I've been here for two weeks now, one week of holidays and another week at the ITWeb Security Summit in Johannesburg.
While here I got a chance to meet and interview Roger Dingledine, the Tor Project leader, about the future of hidden services, the Anonabox controversy, and the possibility of major browser manufactures integrating Tor into their private browsing modes. That's this week's feature.
This week's news guest is Haroon Meer of Thinkst.
Thinkst is actually this week's sponsor as well. But as Haroon is a super smart guy who also happens to be funny and eloquent, I invited him to do this week's news segment with me from the conference centre in Midrand.
For the sponsor segment Haroon filled us in on his latest invention, Canary.
It's a honeypot you put on your LAN that can detect all sorts of lateral movement. It's an awesome idea and you'll get the skinny in this week's sponsor interview!
