Network Security Podcast: Episode 80

Once again Martin and I recorded late enough in the day that I could enjoy a fine beer during the taping (Moose Drool this week). I also need to shout out to Paul and Larry and Pauldotcom Security Weekly; based on their advice I picked up a WRTSL54GS for some wireless access point hacking. Too bad I bricked it… by opening the box. Needless to say that one is on its way back to the online store, and a new one is headed to me. I’ve been working on this pet project of mine for a year and really hope this is the right box to get the job done.

Also, congrats to Martin on re-entering the world of the gainfully employed. He starts with Trustwave on Tuesday.
