    Hi guys,

    Had an interview with 2FM this morning on the topic of hacking. Went very well I think. Podcast should be up on their website later anyone who missed it.

    just listened,
    That Adrian Weckler sounds like one of them experts who knows **** all about what hes talking about.

    Keep up the good work Peann

    :-)

    *Edit 15:04 mimns. Grey hat description by some clown media rep who knows **** all about info/net security
    "He's the kink of guy who will break into you systen, if the system is your house he wont do too much damage, he doesnt really care. he'll leave your door wide open he doesn't really care" so next thing you know your roof is after caving in you know.

    Myabe the grayhat left a note, email, phoncall or tried contact the house owner many times and only left door open because he ccouldnt close it (ie. no write access t0 patch vulnerable script).

    Your right,

    I think in an ideal world the likes of Adrian Weckler would like vasts of people walking around estates for free and then ARRESTING them for failing to report that a specific house had no security....

    I didn't really like the breaking into the house analogies either myself. Quite a few people said that they weren't happy with Adrian's commentary. I wasn't on there to argue about it though - I made my point in the best way I could and left it at that.

    It wasnt a great interview, but that wasnt peanns fault, it was more that Dave Fanning knew absolutely zilch about the topic and seemed to have difficulty comprehending the basics. It seemed like "hacking == illegal" in his mind and he couldn't get past that.

    In fairness to Dave, he's not really expected to know much.. I think he was throwing questions towards me so that I could address them or correct him. We should be mindful that his show is just a daily chat show, rather than a tech podcast. Anyone who was expecting Dave to discuss the intricacies of writing buffer overflows was expecting too much.

    I did the best I could.. I was only out of bed when I did the interview, I'm lucky my brain worked at all! :)
