Rich and I are preparing for Thanksgiving, just like everyone else in
America right now. I don't know about you, but that primarily means I
have five days of work to accomplish in three days of the week. So we
didn't organize a guest this week, we sat down together (1000 miles
apart) and talked about some of the stories that caught our attention
over the last couple of weeks. It's a good show, and we're out of here
until after Turkey Day.
Have a great Thanksgiving! Network Security Podcast, Episode 129, November 25 2008 Show notes:

We're joined today by Glenn Fleishman to talk about our own recent past
and the recent cracks in the WPA armor. Rich recently got to visit
Russia to participate in a talk on Data Leak Prevention, while Martin
got his own sit down with DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff. Glenn had a
little excitement of his own, with a detailed article on the recently
revealed vulnerabilities in WPA using TKIP. It's a small vulnerabilty,
but both Rich and Glenn suspect it's just a precursor to bigger, badder
things to come. And somewhere in there, a three year anniversary for
the podcast slipped by.

When I first got an invitation to attend a roundtable discussion with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, I thought thought it was a hoax, as did some of the people I asked about it. A little fact checking revealed that it was the real deal, but the meeting was in Washington, DC. Traveling cross country for an hour meeting isn’t in my budget, so I regretfully passed on the opportunity. Fast forward a month and the invite comes again, but this time it’s happening at Stanford University. There’s no way I could pass that by. Andrew Storms and George Ou expressed interest in going and Secretary Chertoff’s Press Secretary, Caroline Dieker, made the arrangements and we were all invited to attend. I was impressed by Secretary Chertoff; he speaks plainly, with only a little of the evasion I’d expected from someone in a position like his. I don’t agree with all his arguments and ideas, but he was very open to discussing them publicly. I almost feel bad that he’s going to be gone come January. I tried to tweet the whole thing as much as possible, but it’s easy to get distracted in a situation like this. I captured the entire conversation on my little iRiver 795 and here it is so you can listen for yourself.

This is a special Get Out and Vote episode. Rich is in Russia of all
places and Martin is on the road most of today, so this episode was
recorded on October 31, 2008, Halloween. And there isn't much scarier
today than Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting machines. That
might make a good costume next year. In any case, exercise your right
and responsibility to vote today!
