Inside the Estonian Cyber-Riot

Radio Free Security

Our recap of Black Hat 2007 includes a report by network security analyst Corey Nachreiner on the Estonian cyber-riot, including what techniques worked for the attackers and what worked for the defenders. Steve Fallin interviews David Thiel, a researcher who has found numerous attack vectors in media files and media players formerly regarded as "harmless." WatchGuard product managers report on enhancements found in Firebox X Edge version 8.6, and Fireware 9.1. In the Listener Feedback section, senior trainers answer questions about how attackers intercept email; what to log and what not to log; sources of online security training, and more.
