SN690: Are Passwords Immortal?

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week we cover the action during last week's Pwn2Own Mobile hacking contest. As this year draws to a close, we delve into the final last word on processor misdesign. We offer a very workable solution for unsupported Intel firmware upgrades for hostile environments. We look at a forthcoming Firefox breach alert feature. We cover the expected takeover of exposed Docker-offering servers. We note the recently announced successor to recently ratified HTTP/2. We cover a piece of 1.1.1.1 errata, close the loop with some of our podcast listeners, then finish by considering the future of passwords using a thoughtful article written by Troy Hunt, a well-known Internet security figure and the creator of the popular HaveIBeenPwned web service, among others.
