Prognostication: prediction, a statement made about the future. Tonight's podcast features Chris Hoff, friend, blogger
and the Chief Architect of Security Innovation at Unisys, who joins us
to talk about some of his predictions of what 2008 will bring us in the
security sphere. While Chris doesn't claim that his crystal ball is
any clearer than other security thinkers like Richard Stiennon or Mike
Rothman, he does have some strong opinions and is perfectly willing to
share them. I'm looking forward to next week when we come back to
Chris and try to think of some of the good things that will be coming
out of security in the future.
By the way, Chris gets paid by the vowel, so someone will have to come up with a reaaaallly long title if they ever expect him to leave Unisys. Show Notes:

This shouldn't even properly called and episode, since it's under two
minutes in length, but I wanted to let everyone know why there's not a
real show tonight. Rich and I didn't realize until the last moment
both of us would be traveling today and wouldn't be able to record a
real podcast. Rich is at the SANS Encryption Summit in Florida, while I'm at the Pacific Information Security Summit today and headed down to Los Angeles tonight. We'll return you to your regularly scheduled podcast next week.

Rich and I were joined tonight by a former co-worker and friend of Rich's, Amrit Williams. Amrit is the CTO of BigFix and blogs over at the Observations of a digitally enlightened mind
blog. This was less of an interview and more of three security
professionals getting together on a Saturday morning to talk about the
events going on in our sphere of influence. And as you might expect
from us, the podcast went longer than we aim for, but only a little.
But most importantly, we had good audio quality for the entire
podcast. Or at least Rich wasn't fading in and out. The bad part is
we don't think we changed anything, which means we've just been
operating at the whims of Skype and the Internet, but we'll be keeping
an ear out for problems in the future.

Has it really been two years since I started the podcast? Looking at
the date of the first MP3, it really has been. If you want to listen
to a blast from the past, stick around for the last 10 minutes of the
podcast where Rich and I listen to my first podcast and pick at it
Mystery Science Theater style. Or you can save your eardrums and 10
minutes of your life by quiting before then. I hate listening to my
old podcasts.
Thanks to Rich, we have a new site dedicated to the podcast, netsecpodcast.com. This is where you'll find the show notes and can subscribe to a podcast only feed. We'll occasionally work on joint projects here, but it's going to be almost entirely podcast related for the most part. And congratulations to Paul and Larry who've also reached the two year mark for podcasting. This makes us some of the earliest security podcasts out there, if not the earliest. Show Notes:

Two weeks ago there was no podcast because I was in Chicago. Last
week I was at a clients until late and Rich took the opportunity to
interview Glenn Flieshman from TidBITS and Wi-Fi Networking News.
But this week I'm back and despite rumors to the contrary Rich has not
had me offed so he can take over the podcast. Not that such rumors
really existed, but sometimes it's fun to start them.

Okay, it's not that scary, other than the fact Martin isn't even in the episode this week. That's right, I flew solo and invited Glenn Fleishman from TidBITS
Glenn Fleishman is a TidBITS contributing editor and a Seattle journalist who covers technology for publications like The New York Times, Popular Science, and The Economist. He blogs daily about Wi-Fi and other wireless networking at Wi-Fi Networking News. Glenn lives in Seattle with his wife Lynn, sons Ben and Rex, two iPhones, and a dozen Macs of various vintages.This is one of the most significant updates to the OS X series of the Mac operating system, with more dedicated security updates than any other version. But although Apple clearly invested in security, they didn't necessarily finish the job. A combination of incomplete security feature implementations and some new operating system features with security implications make this a release for us security geeks to keep our eyes on. |

Tonight's podcast is a little on the short side because of the fact
that I'm on the road and we're still trying to figure out how to
record. I owe Rich a big thanks for doing all the heavy lifting for
tonight's podcast, including purchasing a copy of Audio Hijack Pro,
recording the podcast and doing all the editing. Of course, now he has
an idea of what I go through every week; a little empathy is usually a
good thing.
We're a bit heavy on the Apple side of things tonight, but that's because there's so much interesting stuff going on with them right now. We barely even touched on the fact that Apple is going to be releasing an SDK for the iPhone and other similar products. I'll be interested to see what hoops developers will have to jump through to get the SDK and what additional hurdles they'll face in getting their code signed by Apple. I'm really enjoying my time in Denver, though I'm ready to get back to the wife and kids. I had some plans to meet up with a few security professionals in the area, but those fell through. I'll be in Chicago all of next week and plan on attending ChiSec, but if you're in the area drop me a line; I'll probably be available Monday and Wednesday nights, and maybe even Tuesday night if Rich and I can get the podcast recorded in a reasonable amount of time. Barring technical difficulties that is. Show Notes:

Rich and I wandered into the realm of politics several times in this
podcast, something we're gong to try to avoid for the most part in the
future. Listener feedback brought out some of the our own strong
feelings so we went along with it. Neither Rich nor I want to turn
this into a political podcast, mostly because neither of us feel
qualified to comment on politics. I guess that any time you start
wandering into an area people feel strongly about, it gets political,
which makes it hard to avoid politics all together.
By the way, at one point in the podcast I couldn't remember the name of a software author. The guy who's name I fumble over is Mark Russinovich, formerly of Sysinternals, now working at Microsoft. And the comments I made about the CyberSpeak Podcast are from the 23 Sep 2007 episode. Show Notes:

Rich and I ran into technical difficulties before we started tonight,
since we both wanted to try something new with our equipment. I have
to go back to my old days of working on Army radios and remember to
only change one component at a time. We'll remember that next time.
Sorry if the quality isn't quite up to it's usual standards, we'll do
better next week.
