Risky Business #335 -- Whaledump hacker could change NZ government

Presented by

Patrick Gray

CEO and Publisher

Adam Boileau

Technology Editor

I'm back from a two week holiday in beautiful Indonesia, so we'll be spending most of this show catching up on what I missed while I was away! So there's plenty of news to talk about with Adam Boileau, and also a chat about some very interesting politicking going on in New Zealand.

A hacker going by the name of Whaledump has been dropping leaked emails and documents all over the place that are causing all sorts of headaches for the government. If that wasn't enough, Kim Dot Com has jumped into the fray... apparently he has a big reveal coming on September 15th that could change the course of the NZ election campaign. Is this the future of democracy?

This week's show is brought to you by BugCrowd, big thanks to them.

We'll be chatting with BugCrowd head honcho Casey Ellis all about the skills shortage in infosec, particularly in testing. People interested in a career in infosec are using platforms like BugCrowd as a proving ground, but will that pipeline be enough to satiate the demand for talent out there?

RB2: Risky Business EXTRA: Brian Snow on quantum crypto

Presented by

Patrick Gray

CEO and Publisher

Here is the portion of my interview with Brian Snow that I didn't have room for in the main show. Snow is concerned that quantum computing breakthroughs are closer than we think and could invalidate much of the technology we depend on to secure data.

Risky Business #334 -- Brian Snow reflects on 34 years at NSA, Snowden

Presented by

Patrick Gray

CEO and Publisher

Adam Boileau

Technology Editor

On this week's show we're having an extended chat with 34-year NSA veteran Brian Snow. During his career he rose to director level -- he acted as technical director of three divisions within the agency -- before he retired in 2006.

Brian joins us to talk about the Snowden disclosures and how the NSA's culture changed post 9/11.

Brian also had some great comments on quantum crypto concerns that I've broken out into a separate podcast - I've put that one in the RB2 feed along with a recording of a panel I hosted at the Splendour in the Grass music festival a few weeks ago. You can find them in the RB2 feed.

This week's show is brought to you by Tenable Network Security, thanks to them, and in this week's sponsor interview we're chatting with Tenable CEO Ron Gula about continuous monitoring.

Adam Boileau joins us for this week's news, as does special guest Andrew Colley.

Risky Business #332 -- Evading IDS with Multipath TCP

Presented by

Patrick Gray

CEO and Publisher

Adam Boileau

Technology Editor

In this week's feature interview we're chat with Catherine Pearce of Neohapsis about some research she'll be presenting at BlackHat next week with her colleague Patrick Thomas. They're doing a talk all about Multipath TCP, and yes, it's exactly what it sounds like and yes, it's great for doing stuff like IDS evasion and confusing firewalls.

In this week's sponsor interview we speak with Senetas CTO Julian Fay about the so-called BADA55 paper. Senetas is about to ship elliptic curve algos with its gear -- is it reconsidering now we know that elliptic curves can be subverted? No way! Tune in to find out why.

Risky Business #331 -- The Tails bug that wasn't, the Tor talk that isn't

Presented by

Patrick Gray

CEO and Publisher

Adam Boileau

Technology Editor

Earlier this week Twitter was abuzz with talk of a serious bug in the Tails live OS, a bootable on-a-DVD or USB device OS used by pro-democracy activists. And by pro democracy activists I mean, you know, potheads buying a few ounces on Silk Road, but whatever...

Well according to the Twitters there was a Tails bug that was going to be a big deal... right? Riiight? Well, maybe not.

The Grugq joins the show to discuss that, and the pulling of a scheduled BlackHat talk on Tor.

This week's show is brought to you by Microsoft. Alas my interview with the scheduled MS spokesperson fell through so there's no sponsor interview this week. I'd ask you to check out Microsoft Interflow anyway though, particularly if you're in IR.

Adam drops in for the week's news segment, you can find links to everything discussed here.

Risky Business #330 -- Setting the infosec agenda

Presented by

Patrick Gray

CEO and Publisher

Adam Boileau

Technology Editor

On this week's show we're chatting with infosec journalist turned PR strategist Elinor Mills. For eight years Elinor wrote about security for CNet News.com, before joining Bateman group as a content and media strategist in 2012.

We're chatting with Elinor about how the infosec media agenda is set. Do massive advertising, marketing and PR budgets give disproportionate media influence to companies that don't deserve it? Drum roll please... yup. Yes. Yes they do. But we'll chat to Elinor about that after the news.

In this week's sponsor interview we're chatting with Holly Stewart, Microsoft's senior program manager in its malware protection centre. We're talking about coordinated malware eradication.

Microsoft has launched a new program designed to attack the malware ecosystem at all levels. That means working with the ad distribution networks, online payment companies, ISPs... choke off the distribution, choke off the cash. It's a much more comprehensive approach than we've seen before and Holly will tell us how you might get involved.

Risky Business #329 -- BitCoins ARE money, Snowden seeks Russia stay

Presented by

Patrick Gray

CEO and Publisher

Adam Boileau

Technology Editor

There is no feature interview in this week's show. If you tuned in last week you would have heard HD Moore and I talking about a project called Invisible.im. Well, we launched a FAQ and the Internet liked it... the Internet *really* liked it... so I've spent much of the week working on invisible.im. There's some really cool stuff happening there that I can't really talk about yet, but I can say the project has picked up a lot of interest.

There's some very cool stuff happening and I'll be able to talk more about it soon.

So, in this week's show we're going to have a chat about the week's infosec news with Adam Boileau, then we'll have a really interesting talk with Chris Gatford, head honcho with this week's sponsor Hacklabs. We're chatting with Chris all about the case of the public transport Victoria website receiving a "free pentest" from a 16-year-old kid. He reported a bug, didn't hear anything back after a couple of days, then went to the press. The whole thing blew up and he wound up in a bunch of hot water with the police.

Anyway, the whole episode came to a conclusion this week. The kid had to sign a statement acknowledging that he'd committed a crime, but beyond that there was no further sanction.

"Unsolicited pentests" are a murky, murky area. Chris joins us to chat about this case and how we might move towards some sort of consensus on how things should actually happen in these situations.

Risky Business #328 -- HD Moore talks massive scanning and invisible.im

Presented by

This week's show is brought to you by Rapid7, big, big thanks to them.

This week's sponsor interview is with Rapid7's Chief Research Officer HD Moore. But you know what? One interview with HD just isn't enough, is it? So he's also joining us in the feature segment to discuss a project I'm putting together called Invisible.im.

It's an instant messenger system that I designed... it feels very, very weird saying that because I suffer from acute imposter syndrome, but yeah, I designed an IM system for journalists and other privacy conscious people and HD actually made it work! He has created a prototype, and much to everyone's surprise it actually works... we're on to something, so he'll be along after the news to talk about
invisible.im!

Then we're going to chat with HD some more in this week's sponsor interview. The research team at Rapid7's has been doing some really interesting work on massive internet scanning. That sort of thing has become pretty trendy in the last couple of years, but the Rapid7 team have really pushed this stuff towards the
cutting edge. They've also discovered some hilarious vulnerabilities out there in the process. Rapid7's Mark Schloesser will be at BlackHat to talk about their latest research, but HD joins the show today to preview it.

Adam Boileau, as always, joins us for a check of the week's news headlines.
