SN642: BGP

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week we examine how Estonia handled the Infineon crypto bug; two additional consequences of the pressure to maliciously mine cryptocurrency; zero-day exploits in the popular vBulletin forum system; Mozilla in the doghouse over "Mr. Robot"; Win10's insecure password manager mistake; when legacy protocol come back to bite us; how to bulk-steal any Chrome user's entire stored password vault; and we finally know where and why the uber-potent Mirai botnet was created, and by whom. We also have a bit of errata and some fun miscellany. Then we're going to take a look at BGP, another creaky yet crucial - and vulnerable - protocol that glues the global Internet together.
