Liquidmatrix Security Digest Podcast - Briefing 002

Episode  --  SB002

Twice is Nice

Here's another week of the Liquidmatrix Briefing. Dave figured out that things work better when he has minions. Stay tuned for the regular gang of fools doing the full round-table - we accept our erratic nature.

And if you've got commentary, please sent it to [e-mail] for us to check out.

DISCLAIMER: It's not that explicit, but you may want to use headphones if you're at work.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: In case it is unclear, this is the story of 5 opinionated infosec pros who have sufficient opinions of their own they don't need to speak for anyone except themselves. Ok? Good.
