Show 016 - An Interview with Greg Hoglund

On the 16th episode of The Silver Bullet Security Podcast, Gary talks with Greg Hoglund, who runs the popular rootkit.com, CEO of HB Gary, and co-author of Rootkits: Subverting the Windows Kernel and Exploiting Software. In addition to shameless self-promotion of their new book, Exploiting Online Games, Gary and Greg discuss the natural tendency of certain types of code to allow exploits, how disclosure is a good thing when it comes to revealing exploits, and the use of rootkits by the “good guys.” Greg also makes us concerned that his 11-year-old daughter may 0wn our box.

What happened to the transcripts? They seem to have stopped at show 15. I miss them.

Hi joe,
Many of the silver bullets are published in IEEE Security & Privacy magazine. I will dig up pdfs of the ones that have been published and post them on the site. I’m not sure if this one was published or not!
Thanks for listening. Happy turkey slaughter!
