Robert “Swifty” Ladyman – Software Freedom Day Dundee 2009 – Free Software In Business

November 6th, 2009

Well sorry dude’s to blog spam once again, however I’m playing catch up and i have had two shows out on HackerPublicRadio.Org recently.  Well when i say i have had two that’s not quite true.  Robert Ladyman from File-Away Ltd, recently gave a fantastic and insightful talk at this years Software Freedom Day Dundee 2009.  Robert’s use of Free and Open Source Software, in the business environment has given him an expertise which lucky enough he agreed to share with us.

The talk is aimed at everyone, and is not one of technical spiel but of good advice.  I recommend if you did not make it Software Freedom Day Dundee Event, that you download and listen to this fantastic talk.

Robert’s company can be found at www.file-away.co.uk

Hacker Public Radio – Previous Finux Shows

October 4th, 2009

Well just to get this out of the way, i have listed all the podcast shows that i have done on HackerPublicRadio.Org, with a very short write up about each.

If you don’t know what HackerPublicRadio.Org, well basically its a daily podcast show. It has a number of correspondents that produce shows on a number of different things. I have been doing a regular show for them for a little while, generally speaking my shows tend to be focused on Ethical Hacking, or Linux.

Sure it will be of no interest to people but here goes;

0082 – Root kits | 2008-04-23

This was my first venture into podcasting, and it was originally recorded for Linux Basement as segment in their security season.

I did some rootkit research as part of some university course work, and its just a very basic run down of what are rootkits.

0086 – Kismet | 2008-04-29

This was my second, and all though the title suggests its about Kismet, its actually about how to set up a war driving rig using Linux and Google Maps.

This was also originally recorded for Linux Basement

If your wondering what war driving is, its basically looking for wireless access points, and plotting their geographical location on a map.

0161 – Hacking WEP | 2008-08-12

This was my first proper episode for HackerPublicRadio.Org and is how you can crack WEP encryption using Linux. Its a very rough episode and really its proving a point that really anyone can break WEP, with a little research. Like now at the time ISP’s where sending out Wireless Routers with this very weak encryption on as default. It offers NO PROTECTION

0193 – What is Free Software | 2008-09-25

0215 – Guide to using linux Rainbow tables | 2008-10-27

This was a guide to Rainbow tables, which is a set of lookup tables we can use to discover password hashes. The tool could be used in connection with a hack to steal the sam password file on some Window systems.

If i remember correctly i also talk about some countermeasures that you can use so you are not victim to it.

0315 – Interview with ChrisJohnRiley | 2009-03-16

Probably a turning moment for my HackerPublicRadio.Org show, its is a beginning of a mini-series i had in mind. The idea was to speak to people from the Ethical Hacking world, about what it is we do, how to get involved, and their experiences. I had four scheduled.

It sorted of grew from there, and really since then my shows have been more a list of interviews than technical guides

ChrisJohnRiley is a penetration tester who i interviewed, i have done a few shows with him since. All round good guy
