Security Justice Episode 37 – All Good Things Must Come To An End

May 13th, 2012 Tom

It’s been a great journey with the Security Justice Podcast but it’s time to put the podcast to bed and end on a positive note. We really appreciate all the support from our fans over the years (since 2008) and we couldn’t have done this without all of you! We are also proud to say we’ve remained “paid sponsor free” since we started the podcast. It’s been a labor of love and we never intended to make money off of this. Our only sponsor was dualCORE! Who by the way is a very talented rapper that you should check out! (dualCORE never paid us a cent..we just love his music!)

As you’re probably aware, life changes and the Security Justice crew has changed as well. Between jobs, family and other things called “life” we can’t dedicate the time to crank out podcasts like we used to. Tom still has his blog and the Social Media Security Podcast, Dave will most likely start a new podcast. Chris and Matt will still be around the InfoSec community and hiding behind suits and ties. Podcasts will still be available for download on this site as well as on iTunes for historical purposes. Don’t forget about our YouTube page which has classics like “Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse” and other fun conference hijinks.

Since we couldn’t end the podcast with a blog post, Dave has put together somewhat of a “best of” podcast which will be our last episode.  This is episode 37 linked in this post.

Special thanks to all our previous guests over the years, supporters and to the fans that have helped us out (sorry if we missed anyone):

Shmoocon and how to protect yourself from Shmooball attackers!

February 3rd, 2010 Tom

It’s upon us. The con that is Shmoocon!  The full Security Justice crew will be there in full force.  If you see any of us around the con or at the parties be sure to say “Hi” as we have some new Security Justice stickers for ya!

Security Justice Shields for Rent!
We also want you to know that if you feel the need for “protection” from the potential barrage of incoming Shmooballs (especially you speakers), Security Justice is here to help! Rent yourself an official Security Justice protection shield for only $20 per hour.  Your donation of $20 goes to support the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) or Hackers for Charity, your choice.  If your interested, look for Dave Lauer (he is also one of the Shmoocon staff and also will have a *large* Shmooball Launcher with him) at the con and he will hook you up with your protection needs.  Please note that Security Justice co-hosts cannot be purchased to be used as shields (except for Dave Kennedy…he always has a price).

Podcaster Meetup – Saturday @7:30pm
Security Justice will be participating in the Podcaster Meetup which takes place 7:30 – 8:30pm on Saturday in the hallway of the main con area (same as last year).  Be sure to stay for Firetalks after the meetup! More information about the Podcaster Meetup is here and more info about Firetalks is here.

See you all at Shmoo!

Security Podcasters “Go the Mo” for Men’s Health

November 6th, 2009 Tom

The biggest names in security podcasting (talk about star power!!) are shaving down for charity, raising money for men’s heath in November.

“Movember” participants have 30 days to grow a moustache from a clean shave, while earning support from friends and family in the form of donations. All money raised supports men’s health issues including prostate cancer research and anti-depression initiatives.

For some, participation in the event will involve significant sacrifice in the name of altruism. PaulDotCom Security Weekly co-host Larry Pesce has agreed to shave his entire face on November 1st.

Well known as a technology podcaster, Pesce is also renowned as the custodian of one of the finest facial forests ever seen in Rhode Island. It’s rumoured Pesce’s chin hasn’t seen sunlight since he hit puberty.

“My wife has told me I’m not getting any play until the goatee grows back,” Pesce says. “So I want this to be worth it.”

For Pesce’s colleague, fellow host Paul Asadoorian, the challenge will be actually growing a moustache in only one month. “I’m considering dosing up on synthetic horse testosterone,” says Asadoorian. “I know a veterinarian with a gambling problem, so I should be able to get my hands on something.”

Asadoorian, Pesce, Exotic Liability’s Chris Nickerson, Dave Lauer from Security Justice, SecuraBit’s Chris Gerling and Australia’s Patrick Gray– the host of the Risky Business podcast — are all on board.  More security podcasters have also been added recently.  You can see the full list here.

Gray hopes the charity drive will solicit donations from both listeners and security technology vendors. “We’re all really hoping the vendors will come to the party,” Gray says. “If we can get good participation from our listeners and the security industry itself, then we’re confident we’ll be able to raise a decent amount of money for a good cause.”

Supporters based in the USA are urged to make their donations to the Security Podcasters Alliance team (or individuals) on us.movember.com [1], while Australian supporters can donate to the Risky Business team or its members at au.movember.com [2].

Security Justice @ ShmooCon!

January 26th, 2009 Tom

Tom, Dave and Matt will be at ShmooCon February 6-8th.

First, the big news….

Our very own co-host Dave Lauer is speaking at ShmooCon with Larry Pesce from PaulDotCom on Building the 2008 and 2009 ShmooBall Launchers at 4:30pm on Friday, February 6th!  There are more details about this talk in the soon to be released Episode 9.  This is one presentation you don’t want to miss!

Security Justice will also be participating in the 3rd annual Podcasters Meetup.  If you are at the con stop by and check out the events that will be taking place on Friday and Saturday night.  If you are not at the con, tune in for the live stream on Friday night at 6pm.  Looks like there will be prizes and as always a great lineup of podcasts to include:

Hak5
PaulDotCom
CyberSpeak
Securabit
SploitCast
Unpersons
Phone Losers of America
SMBMinute

There will be a live podcast starting at 6pm with FireTalks and a party afterwards.  What are FireTalks?  From the Podcasters Meetup web stite:

“Have a talk that didn’t get accepted? Want the chance to share a project that you are working on? Think of FireTalks as a verbal blog post.

The human experience is built on the ability to tell and learn from stories. At SchmooCon 2009, “FireTalks” is a supportive environment in which to either share insights or learn from others. Whether polishing a presentation (story) for conferences, meetings or training, FireTalks are the way to share, learn and improve.

The inaugural FireTalks take place Friday night — following the Podcasters Meetup. Talks are limited to 10-15 minutes with four (4) scheduled talks and four (4) open slots. Open slots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.

Saturday night will be more relaxed. Come join us and present, listen and learn.”

Be sure to check out the Podcasters Meetup web site for more details and the latest updates.  As always, thanks to Rob Fuller (aka Mubix) for putting together this great event.

Tom, Dave and Matt will be hanging around the entire weekend handing out Security Justice stickers, recording short video interviews and trying to stay out of trouble….we have a feeling that the Shmoo Ball launcher will be getting a lot of use!

Follow us on Twitter and send us a tweet if you are around at the con and want to hang out.  We hope to see some of you there!

Live Recording Notice – Ohio Linux Fest

October 10th, 2008 Tom

Security Justice will be recording live at the Ohio Linux Fest tomorrow (10/11)!  We will send out a tweet when we are going live.

You will be able to listen to the stream on Hak5radio.com and chat in our IRC channel (freenode.net #securityjustice) during the stream.

If for some reason we can’t stream live it should make for a cool special edition either way.  We plan on interviewing folks from the Linux community as well as hanging out with the Notacon folks.

Stop by the Notacon table and say hi if you are at the conference!

The Security Shoggoth on Room362.com

September 11th, 2008 Tom

Tyler, one of the co-hosts of the Security Justice Podcast (aka: The Security Shoggoth), put together a very good guest post on Room362.com all about runtime “packers”.  What are these mystical creatures you ask?

Via Room362.com:

“A packer, also known as a run time packer, is a program which compresses another executable to a smaller size on disk.  When executed, the packed executable is uncompressed in memory and executes.  The time to uncompress the executable in memory is usually not noticeable, making it very advantageous to use one.”

Check out Tyler’s article over at Room362.com.
