Benny is recovering from a (regular) flu attack and thus I'm joined by Didier Stevens, pdf wizard extraordinaire and co-conspirator of The Hex Factor. He explains the idea behind the game that will keep us audience captivated during the conference, how they started and what you can expect from it. Download the episode and get informed !

Episode 2

Getting our groove on with a good beat, this time contributed by Dave Lewis (@gattaca on twitter) of http://www.liquidmatrix.org . Much to our amazement this dude laces the tracks with heavy basses that grab you by the throat in this track named 'Crisis' (the title seems appropriate to an infosec podcast) by his music project Mescaline.

On with the show.

We got into a good discussion about information security, cyberwarfare and privacy with Jayson E. Street. Jayson will be speaking at the Brucon conference in September (don't tell me you have yet to book your ticket, right?) and was awarded the prize for the longest title. Apart from being an extremely likeable guy, he's very knowledgeable on the subject and he's a published author. If we are not misinformed, his book "Dissecting the hack" (Syngress '09) was launched in Vegas last week.

The meat of the episode however is a interview with hackster princess extraordinaire "Astera" Schneeweisz. This amazing fraulein from Vienna will be speaking at Brucon on the subject of hackerspaces. Hackerspaces have, in recent years, grown like mushrooms in recent years and Astera has personal first-row experience in organizing and building them. In the interview we also learned about Plumbercon (http://www.plumbercon.org) and all the other great and exciting ideas she's working on.
