Shannon's back from Defcon, the annual hacker conference that brings together everyone from grade school kids w/ a passion to learn to Crypto geeks, Feds, and security professionals. What were the big trends? privacy, RF Hacking, and Vulnerabilities in Infrastructure and Hairdryers... find out about the latest in security threats (and wins!), the very cool Blade RF SDR, in the video! Are RF/RFID Wallets More Secure Than Aluminum Foil? Tom writes in, "I picked up on Shannon's notes on Defcon and her comments about RFID. How about discussing this topic - in particular. 1. How can you tell if a credit/debit card has this chip on it. 2. Test out various sleeves and wallets to see if they actually work. According to Consumer Reports a lot of these are no better than alum foil. Shannon just picked up the Privacy Case, Black Hole Faraday Bag, and we test 'em out vs. Aluminum Foil in the video! Podcasts, Linux, Netflix, Amazon Prime & HBOGO on Chromebooks?
