Security Tube

While on the subject of Infosec courses, I wanted to mention Security Tube http://www.securitytube.net/ they offer a variety of courses and certifications. Although some of their courses do cost money, they offer some free ones as well.  I am not sure how much weight their certifications hold but they are better than nothnig, espescially if you […]

Webpwnized

Ok so I felt a little cheated about skimping on the infosec related course ware in my last post so I wanted to make it up to you. On of my favorite “how tos” (there are several) is the webpwnized channel on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/webpwnized?feature=results_main The contributors know how to break down technical attacks and show us the […]

Online Courses

I thought to myself you can’t introduce a “Education” tab without mentioning two of perhaps the most famous free online academies: Kahn Academy and Open Course Ware at MIT. Khan Academy, http://www.khanacademy.org/, offers mainly high school level courses but they do have some advanced stuff to include some course ware in computer science (python programming). MIT, […]

CloudFogger – quick review

When it comes to encryption my favorite tool is and will always be (unless something changes) Truecrypt. Nothing beats its diversity: I can encrypt files, drives, hide encrypted drives, amongst many other features. But as I said many times on our podcast I am a geek, and working with Truecrypt is fairly easy for me […]

SecureMaryland – Ep15 – Advanced Persistent Computer

So you may have noticed that we missed episode 14 – well to be honest we didn’t miss we just lost it. Recorded, show notes available, but no recording – part of the growing pains of running podcasts I guess. Hope you enjoy episode 15 Welcome to the SecureMaryland Podcast Episode 15 “Advanced Persistent Computer” […]

Who to Blame

Recently my friend the “Rabbott” sent me an interesting link (http://www.tinyurl.com/uapwc) about a recent disclosure effecting the local company Under Armor (UA).  The gist of the exposure – an unecrypted thumbdrive was lost. So in a situation like this who do you blame? Case for blaming PWC: 1. They lost the thumb drive (that is what it […]

Podcast Reflection

Welcome to the first post in our “Post a Day in May” campaign where we will either release a new post, tweet or podcast everyday this month. To start it off, I wanted to take a second and reflect on starting up a podcast. It has been an amazing journey but yet we still have […]

SecureMaryland – Ep17 – Yottabyte – yo thats a lot of data

A little delay in production as we try to work through some “static” issues – episode 16 was unsalvageable due to static (nothing changed in our set-up but got a lot of static/feedback on 16). We are looking into possibly transcribing that show so you don’t miss it. Until then please enjoy Espidode 17  “Yottabyte […]
