Network Security Podcast

Zach couldn't make it tonight, but Rich and Martin open the show with a call to our listeners for more email questions and topic suggestions. After answering a listener question last week, we realized it would be nice to engage with all of you a little bit more. But not too much... I mean we don't want to touch you or anything.

We also spend a little time talking about how we handle our connectivity and security while at Black Hat and Defcon, which happen to be next week.

Once again we have a wandering host; Rich has wandered off into the hinterlands of Denver (Boulder, I think) and is too busy to call in for the podcast.  Left to their own devices, Zach and Martin muddle through tonight's podcast without major mishap.  We've got a little PCI, a little disclosure and some potential cracks in the Apple Store armor.
