The latest episode of LiveSecurity’s monthly podcast, Radio Free Security, is now available for download from WatchGuard’s web site or from iTunes.
In honor of Black Hat, the globally renowned security conference taking place in Las Vegas this coming week, Radio Free Security leaves its normal format at home to let highly qualified guests lead the discussion:
- How criminals avoid being traced by law enforcement. Dave Piscitello, President of Core Competence and a fellow of the ICANN Security and Stability Committee, explains a new evasion technique known as DNS Fast Flux. Using this technique, illegal web sites that formerly could avoid law enforcement for mere hours can now stay up for weeks. Soon everyone will be discussing this emerging technique, but Radio Free Security listeners will be among the first to understand it.

- Is the cyberterror threat credible? In the wake of the recent Die Hard movie, which depicts hackers taking down the US infrastructure, we present this recording of security stars debating the plausibility of such a scenario. Participants include: Bryan Cunningham (former Deputy Legal Adviser to Condoleezza Rice; drafted portions of the Patriot Act), Jim Harrison (expert on hardening Microsoft’s ISA server), Dan Kaminsky (noted security researcher and speaker), Johnny Long (author, Google Hacking for Penetration Testers), Tim Mullen (teaches internationally on how to harden Windows products; popular author), and members of Sensepost, a South African security consultancy with a global clientele of banks and insurance companies. This free-wheeling “Security and Beer Roundtable,” presented in transcript form in 2005, is now released in audio for the first time and remains every bit as relevant as the day it was recorded.
You’ll find the latest episode, titled “Fast Flux and Cyberterrorists,” on our Web site, right here. If you prefer, you can download Radio Free Security directly to your iPod from iTunes.
