The question of the week was really good. Now about the SecurityNow podcast:
actually it was one of the first security podcasts I've started listening too, and I've thought that: “wow, here is a podcast for the everyday user, who wants to learn something about security” and occasionally found a useful piece of advice or two (no to brag, but the show isn't really target to the people with my level of expertise). However since they started going into web security (with things like cookies, javascript and stuff) I've noticed that the quality of the show degraded (I've sent them a two page post about the errors that were in those shows, however they didn't reply nor talk about it in the show – to be fair to them they have a policy of responding to user feedback every forth week, and maybe they will say something about it in the upcoming show). And now this thing with the ports. It sounded funny to me in the first place (why would it be necessary to source a DNS request at port 53) but I've though “there are many weird things out there”. Thanks for clearing it up.
Also I hope that they will respond to the feedback so that all of their listeners can learn something from it.
Wrong episode, sorry
