kw801 : Cross platform security.

Feb 02
We start off season 8 with a great topic on Cross platform security. Many of us think that we are safe from mall ware or viruses because we don’t use vulnerable operating systems. Good friend of the show Emmet Steward is here to tell us, that this is not the case. We talk about cross-platform security hazards and, more importantly, how to protect your system and be safe.
 
Emmet also talks about a great course called ‘Hackitplus’ where you can enrol to be a white hat hacker and learn all about penetration testing, security and … ethical hacking. 
 
We also have Konrad Dwojaks weekly photography tip : This time on keeping your gear safe in cold weather.
All in all : a great show to kick off season 8 of Knightwise.com

Podcast week : Hacker Public Radio. A geeks Smörgåsbord.

Dec 19

There is no way to summarise Hacker Public Radio in just one word. It isn’t even “one” podcast but an endless slew of individual podcast episodes by many many different hosts on a great variety of topics. All topics (mostly) center about hacking and technology … but sometimes there is just somebody on there who tells you what its like to stay in a mental institution as she suffers from schizophrenia. Not every show has top notch audio quality and some are a little chaotic .. But the awesome thing about HPR is that it is something DIFFERENT ever day. I feel like the proverbial Forrest Gump who points at his box of chocolates and is unable to correctly prophesize the content, texture and flavour of the next piece of chocolate. “You never know what you are gonna get” is exactly what sums up Hacker Public Radio. The only guarantees (except the speed of light) is that it is going to be related to technology and its going to be interesting.. And if not ? Skip a show and listen the next day.

kw608 : Sniffing anyones Wifi with a Pineapple.

Jul 26

sniffing-wifi
Time to raise the hairs on the neck of all Wifi-enabled laptop and mobile phone users in this interesting interview with Gerjon McVries ( @mcvries on Twitter) about “The pineapple” and its awesome (and malevolent) potential when it comes to exploiting basic flaws in Wifi enabled devices. If you were worried about the NSA sniffing your traffic in the Prism debacle, then try not to realise that a 14 year old scriptkiddie with a paypall account could buy this awesome toy and sniff every bit you transmit.
