40 whole episodes of Security Now! In that time Leo and Steve have covered crypto to securing your web browser, locking down buffer overruns and protecting yourself against spam and phishing; all in easy to digest episodes! As with all of their episodes divisible by 4, this episode is devoted to viewer questions.
To start though, Steve and Leo update us on some of the security news this week, including discuss Apple’s recent slew of security updates, RealVNC patches a significant security flaw, using the NoScript extension for Firefox to lock it down, and more. Then they jump into questions, including questions about SSL certificates and websites, how to fool keyloggers, the integrity of MD5 hashes, Skype security, and the age-old debate over whether open source is more secure than closed source.
