Patrick's back from Defcon, the annual hacker convention, where folks presented vulnerabilities in the iPhone (update to 3.0.1 right now), SSL encryption, the FAA's need to update security and more! Yes, there was a fake ATM machine trying to capture ATM card and PIN numbers. (It's a fairly common scam!)
Patrick's favorite hack at the show: that Apple Keyboard Firmware's been Compromised. A researcher found a way to use flaws in apple keyboard to infect a machine or capture passwords.

Alex wants some cheap wireless headphones that sound good. First off, cheap and sound good don't go together too often when talking wireless headphones. That said, Sennheiser makes some decent wireless models, and their portable headphones, the MX W1 use Kleer's wireless audio technology instead of sucky Bluetooth to deliver respectable sound with no wires to your iPod or other audio gadget. A lot of folks speak highly of the Etymotic ety8, but they're a bit bulky for our taste.
DIY special effects for movies? Even if you never make a zombie's head explode, or want to build a green screen on the cheap, chances are you'll laugh your ass off while you're learning how movies get made on Film Riot! Check it out.
DIY Multiroom Music Alternative
Patrick shows us how to use an airport express to achieve similar results to last week's show about Sonos!

May not be 100% accurate" Wow. Governor what Tekzilla it's our 100 episode. We got a favorite gadgets under a hundred bucks it set to secure yourself but it's -- yeah. -- Wanted to be -- stack of your question -- pop together PVG -- chop up the watermelon slices and throw it all the picnic basket with Tekzilla starts. Now."
" made possible by. -- Squarespace and godaddy.com. I'm Patrick Norton Veronica Belmont -- at Tekzilla and the reviews the latest tech how to make the most the gear you already."
" Got yes revered beginner tech support for your friends and family if you got a question about building in my eighty games stumping PD. A master matter how whether or not you VPN are the best festival's -- we've got to Korea and if we don't we will track down someone who does so mister Vegas speaking of which I heard you -- are rubbing elbows and death."
" This weekend yes it was in the lab ask for everybody it did you catch up with I am so sorry there are certain cables is apparently impossible for me defining moment. Hardware hacking. But capsules in the butt buddies and -- crew we had the annual -- to upload dinner -- this year it was a big -- at our dinner. We talk about what we have to fear this year and explain what I need that sphere out okay I've written -- Connelly is in annual. Hacker gathering where people talk about exploits tools. The things that figure -- and it's an idea of sharing information on the cheap and it's all wrapped up in a big party. And it comes after one of the most serious. Secure -- of the year which is black -- kind of you know the Defcon the little -- brother black cat so. If you're on an iPhone you if you're right -- user you should update -- 301 right now. The week before black at a pretty early -- and -- vulnerability that was made public Apple tax that you need to fix it. So in definitely -- about paranoia and encouraging encouraging people have -- practices all the time from the beloved wall of sheep. Which is where a bunch of guys work altering the data basically. Keep that are there and look at will so keep your eyes peeled your ears peeled the -- they'd be basically troll. Unsecured password so if you're sending an a password -- a pass through on an open and encrypted life. They will grab it in your information they post it on the wall of sheep -- yes once again I have managed to avoid getting -- about the wallet keys by using the most expedient protection I can't which is to never ever log into my computer. Or -- any network. -- that the short answer to that is just Acer computer yeah the next is to make -- if you use that you don't use a local Wi-Fi use three Jesus -- What are the scary animals actually teach you more serious. It was a new form of man in the middle attacks to go after SSL encryption. Which is basically what you do could you can protect your banking information -- when you shop on line or where your Gmail passwords. Before everybody freaks out I should also point out that requires somebody inside the corporation to plant. Tools inside there is to basically you man in the middle attack and listen on what's going on so. For everybody panics stop and also be aware that browser is the browser vendors are creating patch Tuesday hoping this more difficult possible. That's freaky stuff -- oxygen at Defcon. I was free to use it's more scary. Actually the -- Even a little bit more -- that title was scarier than the panel to panel pretty intense basically payment yet as -- the FAV. Federal aviation ministry the people keep planes in the year and route them -- place basically timeout. The need for them to upgrade the security and networks vulnerabilities in Linksys models of your -- X 160 yen in the year. RP 614. Version for routers using C panel which can be basically naughty things that that. How people legally in the credit services by working loopholes in the credits system. And I think my favorite story from -- was somebody figured out how to take advantage of basically openness of the firm where Apple keyboards -- keep whether you're USB keyboard. Basically sedate the TV keyboard out of your computer they plug it into it like their portable device or notebook they load about a particulates code on it. If you can now use it to. Basically he -- passwords. Log in access names and I can also inject code in your computer. And use it to re infected computer over and over in because once that nasty code is on the firmware your keyboard. They don't you think you're -- it is now it's. Your keyboard is yes story well it's one of the things that comes out you know it it requires physical axis of -- or. And what are things it's been very -- the -- conduct in the last five years is becoming more aware of how critical physical security is. Locks most blocks suck in fact someone a few years ago when Syria. Analysts don't -- in the right now we have more weakness in the future it. But they started. When you watch like somebody doing bond picking to -- somebody's like ten year old daughter. You know being -- You know it just doing it over over -- the fact that most padlock or joke. Or that it'd be like you know if it's as high security on the label that really doesn't mean anything if somebody has the right tools right now so. They wanna make sure everybody understands how inadequate and -- curious. It ATM. That was so one of the most common in had a nasty scams out there what you see like. Did know brand ATM machine -- them. Third party gas station from do -- me sometimes but people put these credit cards hear -- credit card yeah what actual. People people like but if you like among cracked there's in my walk up to you. And AT and the first haters like grapple lip of the colleges and I basically yank audit you know if there's no because what people losers this camera that will basically. Read the information from your car easily maps and had a camera exits where they can drive. Figure out your password. Actually record your password that the record your pin number of like basically. You know yank on the ATM machine even more nefarious things basically he played by ATM machines like Google like you by any machine. You set it up so this particular one it was set up so it would record. Your card in your pin number that was basically all it did in the set it up in the one place in the big giant casino. That didn't have security cameras pointed -- which is right next to the security office. Rights is pretty brilliant. Except nobody really knows if it was somebody targeting Defcon attendees because they don't like him or it was because they didn't realize that instead of a whole bunch of people on vacation from insert name of part of the world here. -- 8000 security consultants would be showing up next week instead of maybe 8000 doctors are. -- And there's this ton there are -- the security the lock picking talked about apps avid Mythbusters being the most popular talks over the outline was like I think wrapped around the -- place to -- yeah it's always used on it yet. Well he was very popular. --"
" Along they had finally -- time nineteen it would also special about today shall. That you being back from Defcon we have a fabulous picture today. I don't champ doing something that's hidden goodness it. Normally -- yeah it's resembling -- and lots of hungry for your love appreciation and of course continued viewership so we skipped the folk -- in Serbia a hot greasy planes. Her favorite gadgets under a hundred dollars. I think I think I'll -- first to know that it's gonna numbers as. I want my favorite devices is the movie juice pack right here have a couple of different versions that got the ear which is little that slammer probably -- I don't think you can use much battery. Overall but it's you know it's gonna design. This is the perfect travel companion your battery goes Capote in the room of the things light Saber. And -- didn't -- the higher end of the spectrum but I think it's worth it for share."
" Ultimately review if you own an iPod battery Extenders any huge huge help I'd prefer the one from true power just from fast until quite different it's got a bigger battery. And it's also has a removable face plates that they make significant changes TV the iPhone designs will be able to generally these up so it'll actually keep --"
" Turn out to -- very nice to us troops now the next one that I had a -- is with something I mentioned last -- little going to too much -- of course it's -- my -- the -- EV DO modem for on the go -- not counting that data plans here the -- itself is 99 dollars after fifty dollar rebate from Verizon and sprint. I'm it's catching on a big way to everyone I know has when these days on Tom -- over at CNET is in love with his. And the editor Macs and PC will split just -- whole -- to shared pants -- so -- and so they're all by themselves -- they have one unit for the whole team and so when -- conferences together they can do live blogging just by having the one because you can have five clients connected at the same time cool yes that's you know. Very convenience and -- thing. -- one I don't have with me right now as opposed the clock it was my favorite devices from CES last year as a great way to be able to access and share your files from anywhere. It takes only a few minutes to set up their network and that acts like an external drive in your computer -- you just see it you can you know rejected her drag files back and forth from it. I'm only need -- home is a hard drive and a connection. So the hard drive goes into the pollutants to the network and makes everything -- right. It's like yes if you Catholic grammar sign want to keep -- and your family photos he'd descent for the public link. And you can click kind of like live -- data files can password protect it -- yeah cool yeah -- the second -- and I think that's I think that's also the case like that. Yeah it's really cute to you you know I -- very tweak I like every device that -- of ours actually 99 dollars I didn't have very good job on this list. The next it's not it's the snow leopard upgrade available for pre order now on Amazon. On at 29 dollars a single user and 49 dollars the family pack it's a pretty good deal if you've got leopard running on your Mac already only -- yeah we're excited about one. The period I'm not a pretty cheap upgrade isn't."
" It is it's an unbelievably awacs leads it's unbelievably cheap compared to the windows seven upgrade."
" But I he'd so focused on this. Now can talk about what you quickly as you listen when you get your chance."
" Do you have any non iPod MP3 player."
" I do have a non iPod and behavior analysts of course a shuffle would be an obvious pick. But one of my other favorite devices is the creative zen MP3 players. And they had a sixteen gigabyte adds over hundred dollars but the two and four gigabyte players. I just really tiny really adorable and compatible with tons of different file formats still got voice recorders you know radio on there. And even an equalizer don't -- in. Cool and I yes they're comfortable and they're dirt cheap."
" What do talk cheap. Memory upgrades. Two gigabyte upgrades to be had for as little as twenty to thirty dollars even -- DDR three memory for core I seven systems chances are you get three to six gigabytes of it. For a hundred bucks at least three gigabytes me anymore it's unbelievable how much memory -- it for no money you run an -- system with five -- twelve megabytes or gigabytes. Give it up to two gigabytes it supports it. If you run 32 bit version of windows four gigabytes -- you know what a wasted weeks. Up at two gigabytes and and and more it will be an amazing difference in the perceived performance of your machine and you're not gonna spend much money. By the way the FB thumb drive. Also ridiculously cheap four gigabytes for under 25 bucks actually four gigabytes for under twelve bucks 32 gigabytes well under a hundred bucks and check out Hak5 that the US be multi pass it is a really cool tool you can create or -- you're using distort photos and photos to grandma carry around your favorite audio. Teacher."
" IPod gets stopped Flash Memory for your cameras everywhere should have like a 48 gigabyte Flash Memory card for the camp because they cost nothing I know I knew I. That's coming from that penetration is and I just wipe them clean use of the -- at trade shows may not be as good for for gonna show stoppers for example this. Think the rest of these are old ones that we paid four bit. I don't dont really run an operating system were put anything really you've -- like the super G giveaway ones like those are good for like carries a for a network but it wouldn't trust my treasured memories you. But I'm also super paranoid about that. Greatest SR sixty headphones they are the best sounding headphones for the dollar there 175 bucks and -- will make your MP3 player or notebook or desktop sound amazing. Western Digital's one terabyte hard drives both the black and degree are under a hundred bucks now. -- a little slower and quieter use less energy to black -- a little harder they're great for your primary desktop system. Or for like -- like one drive external UB fast -- in you know what we're probably down to 75 bucks by the time this thing hits the street. -- Blu-ray player from Wal-Mart no BD live to of that will -- I was useless but it's solid quality Blu-ray playback dvd upscaling. 98 dollars may be priced higher go to the front desk that you can 98 dollar price. And windows seven. Is not under a hundred dollars. It's tilted. Like drugs and hey. Stiller Chris cooks. Art that's not all we're gonna have the rest of our -- we're just gonna keep put your favorite stuff under a hundred bucks which we've put paper clips -- have a paper clip."
" It won't answer very handy but hey we have a ton of them so we're gonna play we're gonna start with a relatively harmless -- million outlets -- toilet paper clips pile -- and the -- Like a literal -- literal 2000 pounds in -- on paper clips in a pile why would -- You're weird things but that's -- list of forums and all our favorite gadgets in here under -- hundred dollars you want you to add your own as well speaking -- really nice you know. They call -- on engadget there what do they call it there have recession antidote. Like gadgets visit our recession antidote."
" I like that thought still to come people DIY streaming audio perky pack of your questions and cell -- hacks it's time to secure your phone. While we've got your attention brief message from our beloved -- it's time to thank one of our sponsors Squarespace. -- markets -- PA. Hi it's excellent yeah there's an Indian and back to tell you all of of course it's. I worked at Tekzilla at my side hobby blogging about the keys after tears and again and I felt like your data plane dot com -- the little things like -- component adds. So I switched over to -- space but isn't important log on and from there I was able to out of kind of cool woman -- can upload page where visitors can submit their own -- can be. A contact for every reported citing discussion forums and much much more. In addition to my regular journal contacts -- let me out of these cool interactive features and get my visitors can keep them coming back war. Plus of course they also has built data analytics with some track of how much like doing without using an anointed third party plug and so what do you winning -- and take your site up and not support base and using because taxi that -- its intent to cannot be entirely like senator Warner. So check out Squarespace dot com today what."
" This week's freebie download it. A free program we find useful fun or incredibly interesting. This week CNN that is easily give -- guy. Before you freak out if you -- PC gaming -- died and you probably played the result politically incorrect comic book turned adventure games that Macs. With the recent revival of the franchise into an episodic series telltale games is really excellent you're -- introduction guys as we download. That's right all the -- brightest are you guys want to come to expect from Sam and max's that your game is now available as downloadable he. And this -- it would you must -- the president's lost it federally mandated group hugs and putting embargo. And Maxtor also wants to be prepared to open the political quietly extra here.

Like out of you enjoy what the highest rated episode in effect next series telltale games and you're gonna enjoy it for forty. What are you waiting for start downloading it today might -- Christmas lights it's."
" We need to renovate decorate and I accidentally burned up late in the ground."
" Security tools for your cell phone might sound silly NT realize that mobile devices like your iPhone -- rapidly evolving into mobile PCs. Or you -- a black ever Defcon got a few -- tax that security researchers have Flexilis label to demonstrate. They say attacks think taking control of a phone via SMS messages. Joining us today is where the principles of Flexilis again know for years mr. John hearing John -- the Tekzilla. Patrick extra and so I gotta ask you before people turn white with fear and start flushing or Smartphones down the nearest toilet how paranoid to be really be about mobile security."
" I think paranoid is a pretty strong terms people would need to be aware that these devices are essentially mobile computers and."
" As there of all types of threats and -- threats that we've seen how it impacts PCs are gonna search and acts. Mobile devices as well and I think that one of the driving factors that this is how personal these devices are I would argue that mobile devices or do you -- personal computer."
" certainly in the -- people rely on for their own personal security and obviously communications that mean. My iPhone goes out I can't dial 911 if something's wrong with my son to -- concept I mean. Just will be able -- know who you guys are who is Flexilis in what do you do there. Flexilis as a mobile security startup outward -- obscurity researchers software developers are working mobile devices -- So I know that like for example there is that SMS taxable demonstrated last week. Have been patched for the iPhone is a real possibility of your phone actually -- acting are the big. Telephone companies in the cellphone makers working night need to secure everything inside yourself."
" Absolutely I mean the iPhone vulnerabilities -- always Charlie Colin discussed. We're pretty significant. The list have been -- of no one of the problems that we notices that. PO EMs -- operators into a great job and you do that devices up to date. But at the end of the day it's up to the end user to keep the -- passed so there's likely many many people out there. Or isn't that would not pastor into the devices we're still vulnerable both attacks now."
" And that's consistent problems -- other devices. Including next would that we are discovered going to blow over example."
" I'm certain types of Windows Mobile handsets -- Fiber optics to deal with issues."
" So wartime relic of the exploits you guys found it tell the viewers what you found inside some of the some -- the Windows Mobile handsets."
" So it's interesting we discovered eight issue. That is has been introduced in a certain types of wonderful answer as we continent. ECC Samsung Motorola and tactful. Number of volumes devices -- can be your security policy is that enable me to send a specially crafted SMS message. Our -- squished message brother. -- and you'll be in the control over the rights by means of arbitrarily. Sending me out web browser to device or costing him the monster --"
" Where so it kind of interesting SMS kind of in the vector V there's a pretty massive iPhone attack about people's take over iPhone stress -- A similar attack is it has been ventured for Android group leader in the process of patching that. Why is SMS suddenly all publicity is it need to they figure it out of one device and decide to see if -- a mass. Vulnerability was available on other operating systems."
" These are different issues actually well we found is that."
" SMS is becoming a topic in raster and vector -- if you."
" It's so absolutely I mean it's it's a vector of attack that. Is always on almost every device -- it regardless I see I'm -- text messaging."
" And it's the kind of -- that you and remotely exploited by as well. What what can viewers do to protect themselves is is keeping your your device updated number one."
" Support you can do is be aware patches are others -- you today."
" There's -- security patch issued this -- I expressed in your neck major that you get that up the news and possibly. Years. You're exposing yourself the vulnerabilities that you well you're not your eyes. Although the threats are still young but growing it is becoming more an issue that -- you can view. Only it's essential services all the rest of urgent review -- I am pleased that it will. You're not using my recommendation would be you -- and especially glued to -- in -- comparable month. You're doing is exposing additional tax service that in an unnecessary. So you mention eight buzzing cluster that sounds a little terrifying. What is this. We tool designed to test the security of --"
" rapidly and in parallel so we can -- want don't with a piece of software."
" But we can actually paralyzed this on ten or fifteen devices across multiple protocols like we do what I NASA NASA all simultaneously. We bill this annual harbor where embodiment that we call. Eight distributed buzzing cluster. Actually TSA friendly -- are in trouble with us and it enables us hacked lots of -- simultaneously in simple terms."
" So you say -- lots of phones are not talking about like pulling out of your luggage in an airline terminal point you in the wall wreaking may have. You know maybe you're inside of Verity cage with a bunch of cell phones from particular. Network provider or something and seeing what's vulnerable model just once hacks over and over."
" It's actually -- control and -- and these attacks and tests are being run over."
" Over the wire or over local radio articles so -- things happening locally aren't devices and control the we're very strict about testing devices shirt and no other devices are being tested without Steve got a couple actually show off for us. Absolutely so."
" What's happening here is my colleague. Is going to remotely exploited that device or what happened is he is -- and -- malicious SMS message -- horse a web browser and open all. There go up as we see -- from all the loading. It's gonna be loading T Defcon dot com. I'll be website that out there -- so we just go back and this is an example of what -- user. Are malicious attacker revealed that the U. Is is open an arbitrary your own web browser war opened an arbitrary URL pointing to an application foresee the rest -- download malware. Now what this website is not malicious -- it for -- and so chose that you sent you a website that had an actual browser excellent vulnerability. There's actually taking control of the device that much deeper levels."
" So they can actually force if you're tekzilla.com and maybe download video. So. What kind of stuff for you seeing in terms of excel network traffic itself is as obviously there's a lot -- arguments the FCC radio towers. -- the device is that the end users you is there anything you guys are seeing on the than the physical network traffic that that the cellphone companies use."
" So we're monitoring network traffic so we can't see is chatter from actual users who were experiencing these types of issues."
" One thing I would note is that pictures absolutely had to do with that tax. Certain types of track progress and -- messages being sent. So there are -- are the folks who are doing this ends."
" It's important for for those watching the note that if you try and I crap these messages it could end up not being a good idea."
" So so what what would say is we're seeing especially this attack. In Europe and Asia many users complaining about spammers taking advantage of this and pushing spam web sites to their phone arbitrarily. It's quite a -- nuisance is Italy's."
" That's it as its level of effectiveness spammers will always take advantage of the latest technology to be a pain in your grass. So -- things that you're thinking about in terms of of us cellphone security like to share with the audience --"
" The number one thing I would recommend is just stay -- security in the same you would with your computer I'm most people are just starting to hammer -- incidence of the notion. A mobile devices being PCs and I think there's there's really read things that are harnesses the advancement of us are crisis since the explosion mobile data usage are high speed dating is it's -- Asians. These are all really really cool things that are Dobson -- the prices but we need to treat our mobile phones as we we do our --"
" John thank you so much for being on the show ladies and gentlemen to learn more Flexilis dot com is a website with a lot of interesting information and it bears watching the future if you would help keep your cellphone city. Coming up next we -- the -- but we've got more DIY -- way to stream music around your house but first."
" We'll take a moment to thank one of our sponsors can't fly -- is not cheap sometimes well they sock. Dropped fifty bucks and you I don't you can get stuck ever implied or -- could -- be -- service program. 6000 Buick classic titles across all consoles and hand held. Cynthia -- about to -- how about 595. Becoming in flight ever it's really wonderful games this time. Reforms to life with no late fees so -- back and forth all the free.

Cool it. Why wouldn't you. How about a two week free trial Tekzilla fans for the two week free trial notified of the game quite -- slash Tekzilla. The restrictions go why did you decide you've got complete support Tekzilla by Brian how are boxes like you block."
" Looks like it's time for another website we just can't get enough from. Elizabeth we just can't wait from because it's -- useful -- and just aren't yours -- this week's kept pronouncing names. Here's a little secret the inner workings of Tekzilla since we get emails from all around the world we -- pronounce names that come to figure out that a failure earnings. It works exactly the -- you think your way. With my infinity 5000 entries simply naming need to say correctly alongside the -- and see -- phonetic spelling with -- by someone goes had to say the name. This is the best part really anyone can enter in the name and anyone can type in the best way to pronounce it. This way databases only is -- in improving and -- entries and it every day. And the phonetic -- aren't enough many entries have audio file looks the same the same way it's meant to be sent. This is a great tool for people who work the international businesses for someone like me -- announced new names on a regular basis and -- never confuse do you mustn't tell that's ever again. Check out pronouncing it dot com today."
" Lovely Veronica are showing off so this is latest product -- 200 they could upgrade to the 100 controller. It's animals modular mix and match in these high end audio tool for streaming music around your house. We promised you DIY multi room music alternative for those who can't or won't spend the cash from sort of system so it -- up here IE I pulled out. It's an Apple airport express it's basically the idea now device from Apple excellent. It looks like wall -- because it is a wall wart but sort of being -- the cable to power your notebook or whatever you know you need power for. It just sits there squatting in the wall. In its travel light on it this is great and there's supports it. -- could mean to me that. An audio out to ethernet port and AUSB port. So we can actually do this you need to in this case we're using the audio port -- stream audio. Over wireless or hard wired network you basically go into iTunes -- connected to Apple airport express and I hit play and suddenly. Well its network systems that -- streaming music right."
" Yeah eight million dollar."
" America sounds happening over there yes there is there I am multi room."
" yes actually -- used to require some third party software to do but if you go to an in the quarter the bottom corner of iTunes. You can reflect -- okay my computer's gonna play audio Brian. And that I go to any other room in the house. Right this is exciting this is least dreaming. -- you would -- them -- in our -- ladies and gentlemen or yes you click on multiple speakers and on the bottom and -- connect. Multiple airport expresses -- airport express Apple TV. Or multiple computers basically Q. Extreme Q multiple sets of speakers that unity and outward amplifier outputs and -- or computer speakers work. Particularly well for this so what about different tracks and it. I. Traits help well if all of your devices -- policy network -- all your computers you could probably use a couple of different iphones or iPods. Should iPod touches or. Computers to three different tracks different as far as they know. It only stream ones that have music to a whole bunch of different rooms with one computer or. If you want to get really fancy it's the basics 200 bucks the airport express."
" So class that is that it's cheaper it's. I could extend your network. And can use like your printer with big boss. And I actually it's a pretty slick little device for a hundred bucks and if you have an iPod touch or an iPhone. You can't connecting your local network. Choose your library and that you can use your. Portable device to what is what wander around the house G aging you know if you're vacuuming or in the party period is my version of that -- doing earlier he.

" This weekend yes it was in the lab ask for everybody it did you catch up with I am so sorry there are certain cables is apparently impossible for me defining moment. Hardware hacking. But capsules in the butt buddies and -- crew we had the annual -- to upload dinner -- this year it was a big -- at our dinner. We talk about what we have to fear this year and explain what I need that sphere out okay I've written -- Connelly is in annual. Hacker gathering where people talk about exploits tools. The things that figure -- and it's an idea of sharing information on the cheap and it's all wrapped up in a big party. And it comes after one of the most serious. Secure -- of the year which is black -- kind of you know the Defcon the little -- brother black cat so. If you're on an iPhone you if you're right -- user you should update -- 301 right now. The week before black at a pretty early -- and -- vulnerability that was made public Apple tax that you need to fix it. So in definitely -- about paranoia and encouraging encouraging people have -- practices all the time from the beloved wall of sheep. Which is where a bunch of guys work altering the data basically. Keep that are there and look at will so keep your eyes peeled your ears peeled the -- they'd be basically troll. Unsecured password so if you're sending an a password -- a pass through on an open and encrypted life. They will grab it in your information they post it on the wall of sheep -- yes once again I have managed to avoid getting -- about the wallet keys by using the most expedient protection I can't which is to never ever log into my computer. Or -- any network. -- that the short answer to that is just Acer computer yeah the next is to make -- if you use that you don't use a local Wi-Fi use three Jesus -- What are the scary animals actually teach you more serious. It was a new form of man in the middle attacks to go after SSL encryption. Which is basically what you do could you can protect your banking information -- when you shop on line or where your Gmail passwords. Before everybody freaks out I should also point out that requires somebody inside the corporation to plant. Tools inside there is to basically you man in the middle attack and listen on what's going on so. For everybody panics stop and also be aware that browser is the browser vendors are creating patch Tuesday hoping this more difficult possible. That's freaky stuff -- oxygen at Defcon. I was free to use it's more scary. Actually the -- Even a little bit more -- that title was scarier than the panel to panel pretty intense basically payment yet as -- the FAV. Federal aviation ministry the people keep planes in the year and route them -- place basically timeout. The need for them to upgrade the security and networks vulnerabilities in Linksys models of your -- X 160 yen in the year. RP 614. Version for routers using C panel which can be basically naughty things that that. How people legally in the credit services by working loopholes in the credits system. And I think my favorite story from -- was somebody figured out how to take advantage of basically openness of the firm where Apple keyboards -- keep whether you're USB keyboard. Basically sedate the TV keyboard out of your computer they plug it into it like their portable device or notebook they load about a particulates code on it. If you can now use it to. Basically he -- passwords. Log in access names and I can also inject code in your computer. And use it to re infected computer over and over in because once that nasty code is on the firmware your keyboard. They don't you think you're -- it is now it's. Your keyboard is yes story well it's one of the things that comes out you know it it requires physical axis of -- or. And what are things it's been very -- the -- conduct in the last five years is becoming more aware of how critical physical security is. Locks most blocks suck in fact someone a few years ago when Syria. Analysts don't -- in the right now we have more weakness in the future it. But they started. When you watch like somebody doing bond picking to -- somebody's like ten year old daughter. You know being -- You know it just doing it over over -- the fact that most padlock or joke. Or that it'd be like you know if it's as high security on the label that really doesn't mean anything if somebody has the right tools right now so. They wanna make sure everybody understands how inadequate and -- curious. It ATM. That was so one of the most common in had a nasty scams out there what you see like. Did know brand ATM machine -- them. Third party gas station from do -- me sometimes but people put these credit cards hear -- credit card yeah what actual. People people like but if you like among cracked there's in my walk up to you. And AT and the first haters like grapple lip of the colleges and I basically yank audit you know if there's no because what people losers this camera that will basically. Read the information from your car easily maps and had a camera exits where they can drive. Figure out your password. Actually record your password that the record your pin number of like basically. You know yank on the ATM machine even more nefarious things basically he played by ATM machines like Google like you by any machine. You set it up so this particular one it was set up so it would record. Your card in your pin number that was basically all it did in the set it up in the one place in the big giant casino. That didn't have security cameras pointed -- which is right next to the security office. Rights is pretty brilliant. Except nobody really knows if it was somebody targeting Defcon attendees because they don't like him or it was because they didn't realize that instead of a whole bunch of people on vacation from insert name of part of the world here. -- 8000 security consultants would be showing up next week instead of maybe 8000 doctors are. -- And there's this ton there are -- the security the lock picking talked about apps avid Mythbusters being the most popular talks over the outline was like I think wrapped around the -- place to -- yeah it's always used on it yet.

" Turn out to -- very nice to us troops now the next one that I had a -- is with something I mentioned last -- little going to too much -- of course it's -- my -- the -- EV DO modem for on the go -- not counting that data plans here the -- itself is 99 dollars after fifty dollar rebate from Verizon and sprint.

Very convenience and -- thing. -- one I don't have with me right now as opposed the clock it was my favorite devices from CES last year as a great way to be able to access and share your files from anywhere. It takes only a few minutes to set up their network and that acts like an external drive in your computer -- you just see it you can you know rejected her drag files back and forth from it.

It's like yes if you Catholic grammar sign want to keep -- and your family photos he'd descent for the public link. And you can click kind of like live -- data files can password protect it -- yeah cool yeah -- the second -- and I think that's I think that's also the case like that.

" Do you have any non iPod MP3 player."
" I do have a non iPod and behavior analysts of course a shuffle would be an obvious pick. But one of my other favorite devices is the creative zen MP3 players.

" What do talk cheap. Memory upgrades. Two gigabyte upgrades to be had for as little as twenty to thirty dollars even -- DDR three memory for core I seven systems chances are you get three to six gigabytes of it. For a hundred bucks at least three gigabytes me anymore it's unbelievable how much memory -- it for no money you run an -- system with five -- twelve megabytes or gigabytes. Give it up to two gigabytes it supports it. If you run 32 bit version of windows four gigabytes -- you know what a wasted weeks. Up at two gigabytes and and and more it will be an amazing difference in the perceived performance of your machine and you're not gonna spend much money. By the way the FB thumb drive.

" Security tools for your cell phone might sound silly NT realize that mobile devices like your iPhone -- rapidly evolving into mobile PCs. Or you -- a black ever Defcon got a few -- tax that security researchers have Flexilis label to demonstrate. They say attacks think taking control of a phone via SMS messages. Joining us today is where the principles of Flexilis again know for years mr. John hearing John -- the Tekzilla. Patrick extra and so I gotta ask you before people turn white with fear and start flushing or Smartphones down the nearest toilet how paranoid to be really be about mobile security."
" I think paranoid is a pretty strong terms people would need to be aware that these devices are essentially mobile computers and."
" As there of all types of threats and -- threats that we've seen how it impacts PCs are gonna search and acts. Mobile devices as well and I think that one of the driving factors that this is how personal these devices are I would argue that mobile devices or do you -- personal computer."
" certainly in the -- people rely on for their own personal security and obviously communications that mean. My iPhone goes out I can't dial 911 if something's wrong with my son to -- concept I mean. Just will be able -- know who you guys are who is Flexilis in what do you do there. Flexilis as a mobile security startup outward -- obscurity researchers software developers are working mobile devices -- So I know that like for example there is that SMS taxable demonstrated last week. Have been patched for the iPhone is a real possibility of your phone actually -- acting are the big. Telephone companies in the cellphone makers working night need to secure everything inside yourself."
" Absolutely I mean the iPhone vulnerabilities -- always Charlie Colin discussed. We're pretty significant. The list have been -- of no one of the problems that we notices that. PO EMs -- operators into a great job and you do that devices up to date. But at the end of the day it's up to the end user to keep the -- passed so there's likely many many people out there. Or isn't that would not pastor into the devices we're still vulnerable both attacks now."
" And that's consistent problems -- other devices. Including next would that we are discovered going to blow over example."
" I'm certain types of Windows Mobile handsets -- Fiber optics to deal with issues."
" So wartime relic of the exploits you guys found it tell the viewers what you found inside some of the some -- the Windows Mobile handsets."
" So it's interesting we discovered eight issue. That is has been introduced in a certain types of wonderful answer as we continent. ECC Samsung Motorola and tactful. Number of volumes devices -- can be your security policy is that enable me to send a specially crafted SMS message. Our -- squished message brother. -- and you'll be in the control over the rights by means of arbitrarily. Sending me out web browser to device or costing him the monster --"
" Where so it kind of interesting SMS kind of in the vector V there's a pretty massive iPhone attack about people's take over iPhone stress -- A similar attack is it has been ventured for Android group leader in the process of patching that. Why is SMS suddenly all publicity is it need to they figure it out of one device and decide to see if -- a mass. Vulnerability was available on other operating systems."
" These are different issues actually well we found is that."
" SMS is becoming a topic in raster and vector -- if you."
" It's so absolutely I mean it's it's a vector of attack that. Is always on almost every device -- it regardless I see I'm -- text messaging."
" And it's the kind of -- that you and remotely exploited by as well. What what can viewers do to protect themselves is is keeping your your device updated number one."
" Support you can do is be aware patches are others -- you today."
" There's -- security patch issued this -- I expressed in your neck major that you get that up the news and possibly. Years. You're exposing yourself the vulnerabilities that you well you're not your eyes. Although the threats are still young but growing it is becoming more an issue that -- you can view. Only it's essential services all the rest of urgent review -- I am pleased that it will. You're not using my recommendation would be you -- and especially glued to -- in -- comparable month. You're doing is exposing additional tax service that in an unnecessary. So you mention eight buzzing cluster that sounds a little terrifying. What is this. We tool designed to test the security of --"
" rapidly and in parallel so we can -- want don't with a piece of software."
" But we can actually paralyzed this on ten or fifteen devices across multiple protocols like we do what I NASA NASA all simultaneously. We bill this annual harbor where embodiment that we call. Eight distributed buzzing cluster. Actually TSA friendly -- are in trouble with us and it enables us hacked lots of -- simultaneously in simple terms."
" So you say -- lots of phones are not talking about like pulling out of your luggage in an airline terminal point you in the wall wreaking may have. You know maybe you're inside of Verity cage with a bunch of cell phones from particular. Network provider or something and seeing what's vulnerable model just once hacks over and over."
" It's actually -- control and -- and these attacks and tests are being run over."
" Over the wire or over local radio articles so -- things happening locally aren't devices and control the we're very strict about testing devices shirt and no other devices are being tested without Steve got a couple actually show off for us. Absolutely so."
" What's happening here is my colleague. Is going to remotely exploited that device or what happened is he is -- and -- malicious SMS message -- horse a web browser and open all. There go up as we see -- from all the loading. It's gonna be loading T Defcon dot com. I'll be website that out there -- so we just go back and this is an example of what -- user.

I was disappointed. A "100th episode" celebration is not complete without at least one of the hosts getting hit in the face with a cake :D
But the segments of Bearonica dancing at the end pretty much made up for the lack of cake tossing.
