I listen to a bunch of podcasts. They are a great source of information & often a lot of entertainement.I’ll be posting a bunch of reviews of my favorite security podcasts.
A subject I’m interested in but don’t know that much about (yet) is Forensics. So i decided to check this podcast out and i LOVE it. The show is hosted by Lee & Simon Whitfield. Both of these men work at Zentek Forensics and have experience in cases involving child abuse, rape, attempted murder, fraud, intellectual property theft, burglary, and so on. In short: 2 people who know what they are talking about.
Not only is the show interesting, the offer it with a nice portion of that awesome British humor. They release a new episode most weeks (but there tend to be some outages, mostly cus they are busy people, i’m sure). But that’s not all !On their site you can find loads of information: Methodologies & Best Practices, Technical Articles & the latest news in forensics.
If you are thinking of getting into forensics. This is a great way to start !!
Visit them at http://4cast.whitfields.org/ (or itunes)

As most of you read, there are list getting sold of email accounts & their passwords 20 000 emails in total ! The bbc posted this article. According to them and their spokesperson for Microsoft it’s all fishing…
Now.. Do people still get a lot of fishing emails? really?… I hardly get any, cept some for twitter & ebay/paypall.
If you ask me, fishing hotmail & gmail accounts is extremely ineffective. The way i see this information hitting the internet is via botnets & password stealers. It works like this: imagine the amazing bbc botnet.. how many pc’s did they have? 30k ish.Tthat’s not a big or expensive botnet.. lets say half of those people have email (probably a LOT more). Well, the botnet controller can run any software on those pc, including stealers that get all the saved passwords for msn/firefox/IE…
the result? at least 15000 email addresses from a “cheap” botnet. So whats so amazing about this list? well its made public, but a lot bigger lists are going around all the time for little money. So what to do?… Use a different password for JUST your email (you should use a different password for any site anyway) and CHANGE it every once in a while.
And please press.. stop scaring people. It’s really way too easy.
Just finished an interview with Ryan Dewhurst from www.ethicalhack3r.co.uk

The start…
When people ask me “Well tell me how you do all this stuff and tell me how to do this !!”. I can’t give a simple answer.Security isn’t just some simple shell scripts that may SEEM awesome, there are loads of area’s you can get into.
That’s why I’m starting these series, I’ll make a small(sometimes not so small) post about a specific area in security I’ve had some experience with
Including:
If you click on the link behind a topic you’ll go to security.net and a video about this subject. And if you want to see more, check out the other video’s in securitytube.net. But i’ll be making another post with great resources on security news/information/tutorials.
Some links will point to an episode of HAK5. This awesome internet tv show is great for some basic (& not so basic) hacking information in an entertaining format.
I hope you enjoy this information so far & I’m looking forward to releasing more
