Added page - Recommended IT security podcasts

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

You’ll notice that there’s a new page on the right titled Recommended podcasts - IT Security.  If you have an interest in listening to informative podcasts on this topic, you should find this to be a good resource.  Next up, general tech podcasts.  I won’t guarantee when though.  It may be a few days.

Until then…

Speaking of CyberSpeak - The podcast post

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

I mentioned in my last post that I “overheard” something on CyberSpeak, but it occurs to me that I didn’t explain what CyberSpeak is.   Time to correct that.  CyberSpeak is a podcast.

I could write a long post about what a podcast is and how to use them, but that information is available all over the web.  I’ll be happy to post some material that I already have written, if I receive enough comments asking for that.  Given the current readership of this blog, “enough comments” is => 1. 

CyberSpeak focuses on computer forensics and crime investigation.  It is of variable length, but averages around an hour.  In-depth and timely coverage of forensics issues.  By timely, I mean that I’m in the market for a forensically sound acquisition tool and write blockers, and guess what they discussed on their last episode?  Yep.  Those guys are like Tonto, they’re sidekick.  Yeah, yeah… I hear the groans.  Enough lousy puns, here are the deets:

The CyberSpeak feed:  http://feeds.feedburner.com/Cyberspeak and the URL is at: http://cyberspeak.libsyn.com/

I’ll be posting additional info on podcasts that I recommend in the very near future.

Now, don’t say I never did anything for you.

Overheard on CyberSpeak

This web site, www.securityanalogies.com, is a wiki dedicated to collecting analogies for security terms. I may need to contribute, since like most security geeks, I’ve been using analogies like this for years. Fantastic idea and a great example of how every conceivable niche is addressed somewhere on the web.
