Backpack mounted Laser
Ok…not security related but I thought it was interesting. A German company is producing a backpack mounted Laser system apparently designed for cleaning thinks. Think of the uses….. Is it me or are we just missing Harold Ramis wearing a white jumpsuit? –Chris Technorati Tags: laser, backpack SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Backpack mounted Laser", url: "http://www.infosecpodcast.com/2007/08/backpack-mounted-laser/" });

20. August 2007
I was poking around IronGeek’s site tonight and came across the Hacking Illustrated section. In it there are dozens of videos (in both avi and swf format) on subjects such as: Remote Password Auditing Using THC-Hydra Setting up a simple web proxy with CGIProxy Using Cain and the AirPcap USB adapter to crack WPA/WPA2 Using SysInternals’ [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Hacking Illustrated Videos", url: "http://www.infosecpodcast.com/2007/08/hacking-illustrated-videos/" });

17. August 2007
In their never ending quest to evade our filters the spammers have now started using FDF attachments to spread their message. I’ll admit I had to look up what an FDF file was. It stands for Forms Document Format. This file format can be viewed using Acrobat reader the way a PDF file would. Apparently the [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Spammers using FDF file format", url: "http://www.infosecpodcast.com/2007/08/spammers-using-fdf-file-format/" });

16. August 2007
There have been a couple of security vendor press releases recently talking about how they solve the issue of anonymous web proxies. These proxies are web servers that allow users to circumvent URL / content filtering systems to access sites that may be prohibited at work. There are a ton of proxies for MySpace, for [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Stopping 100% of web web proxies?", url: "http://www.infosecpodcast.com/2007/08/stopping-100-of-web-web-proxies/" });

14. August 2007
SIEM / IPS vendor NitroSecurity has filed for an IPO according to this article in Mass High Tech. It is good to see something you had a hand in be successful.

I know this is probably really old but it is also really funny, to me anyway. The Ada and Perl ones are especially funny to me since I have had a bit of experience with both. I guess I just needed a laugh this morning. Shoot Yourself in the Foot in Any Programming Language The proliferation of [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Shoot yourself in the foot in any language", url: "http://www.infosecpodcast.com/2007/07/shoot-yourself-in-the-foot-in-any-language/" });

23. July 2007
There is a good article in the July 17th issue of PC Magazine on Software Escrow. It points out the dangers of relying on small companies and startups for code development and how to mitigate some of those by escrowing the source code to software they write for you. Having been involved with a couple [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Software Escrow", url: "http://www.infosecpodcast.com/2007/07/software-escrow/" });

23. July 2007
I was reading the August edition of PC World magazine and found a short piece written by Erik Larkin on the Windows Vista firewall. Erik agrees with Microsoft’s decision to disable outbound connection filtering by default in Vista. The exact quote was “But Microsoft was right: You don’t need outbound filtering.” What????? I tend to [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Too much firewall?", url: "http://www.infosecpodcast.com/2007/07/too-much-firewall/" });
