Hack the Gibson – Episode #67
This will be a short post, because the podcast (sorry, the netcast) was very on the spot. Also this was the first time I’ve heard that Steve included an errata. Things are definitely improving. I hope that I made a small contribution to this. One fun fact: the GRC.com website is running on Windows with…

Hack The Gibson – Episode #66
Read the reason for these posts. Read Steve Gibson’s response. This again will be a short one. Steve talks about Vista which I have no immediate experience with (I’ve seen it on some decent machines and all that I can say is that it’s reeeeeeeeeeeeally slow. really, really, really slow. Event without the Aero interface).…

Hack the Gibson – episodes 63, 64 and 65
Read the reason for these posts. Read Steve Gibson’s response. Hello all. I have little time lately to blog. Also the latest episodes of Security Now seem to contain less and less errors, allowing me to do one post for three episodes. Episode #63 Steve Gibson says: But frankly, you know, a personal firewall, a…

Tracking web users
Again, this will be something new here (at least for me): I’ll publish a pre-rant for Security Now! Steve Gibson expressed interest in the subject of cookies, so I’ll tackle that in this post and also the more general question of user-tracking. I discuss different ways it can be accomplished, ways you could protect yourself…

Hack the Gibson – Episode #61
Read the reason for these posts. Read Steve Gibson’s response. And here it an other episode which starts out great and is at average better than the previous episodes, but still some mistakes slip in. About the new, as of yet unpatched Windows flaw: I couldn’t find any information on it, so I’m not sure…

Hack the Gibson – Episode #60
Read the reason for these posts. Read Steve Gibson’s response. Here I am again, with a little delay because I was away on a conference of economics over the weekend, but I’ll cover that in a later post. This netcast started out very nicely, and I was hoping that I won’t have to write this…

Hack the Gibson – Episode #57
Read the reason for these posts. Read Steve Gibson’s response. This is the 21st post. Woohoo! It’s not that impressive, but for me it is, considering that I’ve started my blog just a little over a week ago. So this will be cheerful, joyful and happy post :). I’ve selected episode 57 for this because…

Hack the Gibson – Episode #59
Read the reason for these posts. Read Steve Gibson’s response. Finally, I’m getting in synch with the released episodes. This one is relatively error-free, I have only just a few comments to make: buffer overrun doesn’t always mean that the buffer is on the stack, it can be in the heap also. Hardware DEP prevents…

Hack the Gibson – Episode #56
Read the reason for these posts. Read Steve Gibson’s response. Here I am again, as promised. I won’t turn soft because of a nice e-mail. (Then again I hope that these posts are of technical nature, they point out objective mistakes and don’t become a personal attack. If you think that I’m sliding in that…
