ROCA Pain (1x636)

Air date: Nov 07, 2017

ROCA Crypto Key Flaw Even Worse. This week we discuss the inevitable dilution in the value of code signing, a new worrisome cross-site privacy leakage, is Unix embedded in all our motherboards? The ongoing application spoofing problem, a critical IP address leakage vulnerability in TOR and the pending major v3 upgrade to TOR, a Signal app for ALL our desktops, an embarrassing and revealing glitch in Google Docs, bad behavior by an audio driver installer, a pending RFC for IoT updating, two reactions to Win10 Controlled Folder Access, a bit of miscellany, some closing the loop with our listeners, and, three weeks after the initial ROCA disclosure I'm reminded of two lines from the movie "Serenity": Assassin:"It's worse than you know." Mal:"It usually is."
