SN573: News & Memory

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week, Leo and I catch up with the past week's news. Did Microsoft lose control of its secure boot Golden Key? We discuss AdBlock, unblock, counter-unblock, and that counter-counter-unblock is well underway. Leo tells a story from the field about Avast A/V. A "security is hard to do" mistake is found in an update to the Internet's TCP protocol. We talk about Microsoft's evolving Windows Update policies, an über-cool way for developers to decrypt and inspect their Firefox and Chrome local TLS traffic, a nice write-up of our "three dumb routers" solution, trouble with Windows Identity leak mitigation, yet another way of exfiltrating data from an air-gapped PC, and some fun miscellany. We wrap up with a discussion of Intel's forthcoming memory breakthrough.
