This podcast is an interview I did with Accuvant's Joshua Drake, aka jduck. His Breakpoint presentation was on the topic of Android security.

This podcast is an interview I did with Barnaby Jack, a security researcher with IOActive. Barnes is probably best known for his work on ATM security. He famously "jackpotted" an ATM live on stage at BlackHat in 2010, but if he were to do a live demo of his latest research he'd probably wind up in prison.

All our coverage of the Breakpoint security conference was made possible by our sponsor PacketLoop.

This week's show is being produced entirely on the ground at the Ruxcon Breakpoint security conference in my old home town of Melbourne Australia! And it's a shorter show than usual because I'm pretty busy down here producing a bunch of podcasts as a part of some joint coverage I'm doing for both Risky.Biz and The Register. If you want to check out some audio and blog posts from Breakpoint, head to http://risky.biz/breakpoint. They're not up yet, but you'll soon find some interviews with people like Barnaby Jack and Joshua Drake (jduck) there\u2026 or you can subscribe to the RB2 podcast feed at http://risky.biz/feeds if you want that content automagically.

This morning's first presentation was a talk by Roelof Temmingh, the creator of Maltego. The Maltego software, for those who don't know it, is essentially a data analysis and reconnaissance tool with some pretty powerful features.

The researcher in question, Barnaby Jack, today told the Ruxcon Breakpoint security conference in Melbourne, Australia that "the most obvious scenario would be a targeted attack against a high profile individual."

On this week's show we're chatting with Kevin Mitnick! Arguably the world's best known hacker, Kevin used to be a very naughty boy, and that saw him sent to prison a few times... but since his most recent release over 12 years ago he's established himself as a security consultant, author and globetrotting public speaker.

Now chief architect at CrowdStrke, a security company focused on nation-state adversaries, Ionescu says Windows 8 builds on the usermode exploit mitigations introduced into Windows Vista and 7 with new approaches to security that attempt to mitigate kernel mode attacks.

On this week's show we're taking a look at Windows 8 with Alex Ionescu. Alex works for Crowdstrike, he's a genuine expert in Windows internals and he says exploit writing and persistence when it comes to owning windows boxes is about to get a whole lot harder. That's after the news.

On this week's show we're taking a look at public transport ticketing security. Some clever fellows from the US of A have figured out how to reset their RFID tickets with a nifty little app for NFC-enabled smartphones. All this due to some positively boneheaded mistakes made during the initial rollout of some ticketing systems. That interview is with Corey Benninger of Intrepidus Group.

This week's show is a shorter one than usual -- we've just got the news segment with Adam and a sponsor interview.

This week's feature interview is with Wayne Ronaldson. Wayne's a security consultant with a company here called CQR, but he's cobbled together a fascinating little side project called Exploitable Labs.

On this week's show we're taking a look at the new release of the data mining and network footprinting tool Maltego. it's called Radium and the focus is very much on automation.

On this week's show we're talking to Rapid7's HD Moore about recent attacks against the Saudi Aramco oil company that saw 30,000 of 40,000 machines rendered inoperable for around 10 days.

In this week's feature interview we're getting an update on some research we looked at last year. Loukas of Assurance.com.au in Melbourne had been playing around with some "evil maid" EFI hacks on Macs, but he's done some more work on them and presented his findings at BlackHat in July.

On this week's show we chat with Recurity Labs' Felix "FX" Lindner and Greg Kopf in the feature segment.

On this week's show we chat with Microsoft's Katie Moussouris about the company's BlueHat prize. How successful was the prize, and did it get Microsoft value for money in terms of quality entries?

I've been busy preparing my debate speech for tomorrow's Splendour in the Grass music festival, so this week's show is a shorter one than usual; there's no feature interview.

On this week's show the NSA's former Technical Director of Information Assurance, Brian Snow, joins the program to warn us that recent advancements in quantum computing could invalidate all of our cryptographic systems within 15 years.

On this week's edition of the show we catch up with Mark Dowd of Azimuth security for a bit of a chat about Apple's upcoming iOS 6 operating system and its security features. We also wind up chatting about Apple's approach to OS security in general and the whole signed code appstore thing, it's fun stuff!
