PaulDotCom Security Weekly - Episode 84 - September 27, 2007

|

Live from SANS Las Vegas Network Security 2007!

I'd like to thank SANS for having us back, Dave Cool, Rich Mogull for helping out, props to Mike Poor (C.E.O Chief Entertainment Officer), and Eliot from Hack A Day for hanging out and providing t-shirts. Also, our sponsors gave us TONS of free stuff to give away, such as iPod Nanos, Amex and Starbucks Gift cards, t-shirts, and a really cool light saber.

Correction: Dangling Pointer Vs NULL Pointer

|

Oops! Sometimes we make mistakes on the podcast, and thankfully our listeners are kind enough to correct us. We incorrectly stated that there was not much difference between a dangling pointer and a NULL pointer, when in fact there is most certainly a difference. From listener "Mike":

A dangling pointer points to an arbitrary place in memory. A null pointer points specifically to memory address zero. Dereferencing the latter produces nasty results which vary by platform. Dereferencing the former produces nasty results which vary in crazier and less secure, (generally,) ways.

Of course, the press still may be a bit off when they report on this, calling things "new hacking techniques" as recently reported from watchfire. Refer to this thread on the daily dave for some insight. Also, check out "Exploiting the Otherwise Non-Exploitable on Windows", which came out a full year before the research from Watchfire.

Web Site Outages

|

All:

I would like to apologize for some of the recent web site outages. We have identified the problems and are working to fix them. We are in the process of changing all of our web hosting providers, for the mp3 files, blog, and email. So, if you're in the business and want to play "lets make a hosting deal" please contact me directly, paul /at/ pauldotcom.com.

Thank you for your patience...
