I listened to the one on Wifi protocols and security. Very enlightening. I learned that finding a SSID that is not broadcasts take just but a few seconds and MAC filtering is virtually useless as well. However, disabling SSID was good enough to keep the nosy neighbor out.

WPA is uncrackable, even using TKIP, but only if the pre shared key is truly random and takes the full 63 digits.

He said that WPA is susceptable to "offline" cracking. Ie, someone can sniff some of your network data and download to a big computer and run some brute force hacking on it. But if you used a good password, you couldn't crack it.


I plan on listening to some more.

I've been listening to their poadcasts since the beginning, pretty good stuff. I've actually kind of been keeping track of the crew from The Screensavers ever since G4 (stupidly) shut them down. You guys might also want to check out This Week In Tech as well if you enjoyed the Security Now stuff. It's also put together by Leo.

Patrick Norton went on to do an weekly IPtv show called Digital Life TV:

Kevin Rose & Alex Albrecht do a weekly podcast called Diggnation which is pretty decent too.

A more central area for all the stuff Kevin Rose is involved in can be found here:
