Chaosradio Express #155

admin
Recently I recorded a longer podcast together with Tim Pritlove on malware and botnets. It was published a few days ago as Chaosradio Express #155. The podcast is in German and lasts for about 2.5 hours. The podcast is available at http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre155.html and you can also get it via iTunes.

Here the German description:
Malware hat sich in den letzten 10 Jahren von einem Forschungsfeld zu einer globalen Bedrohung der internationalen Dateninfrastruktur entwickelt. Botnetze stellen dabei die bedauerliche Krönung der kriminellen Aktivitäten dar und es erfordert einen großen Aufwand, diesen Systemen nachzugehen und sie wieder auszuschalten. Trotz eines fortwährenden Katz- und Mausspielchens gelingt es den Sicherheitsforschern immer wieder, große Botnetze vom Netz zu nehmen. Im Gespräch mit Tim Pritlove erläutert Thorsten Holz Geschichte und technische Hintergründe zu Malware und Botnetzen.

Themen: wie sich Malware über die Zeit vom Experiment zum Werkzeug von Kriminellen entwickelt hat; welche Sicherheitslücken ausgenutzt werden; welche Methoden Betriebssysteme haben, sich gegen Malware zu wehren; das Layer-8-Problem; die Antiviren-Industrie; was Microsoft für seine Sicherheit getan hat; Botnetze und Spam und andere Formen der Monetarisierung; wie sich Botnetze gegen Aufklärung schützen; wie man ein Botnetz ausforscht, austrickst und lahmlegt; Botnetze aufspüren mit Honeypots; Botnetze in Behörden und Botschaften; Kommunikation und Kollaboration von Securitygruppen; technische und moralische Probleme beim Herunterfahren eines Botnets; Kooperation mit ISPs; Botnetzbekämpfung vs. Zensurinfrastruktur; Botnetze und der Mac; Konzepte für sichere Betriebssysteme; Security Usability; Automatisierte Malware Analyse.

    I love that there is an active community in the combating of malware and botnets. It's promising and comforting to know that there are people who are so passionate about the security of our computers and other devices. While it is probably a never-ending task, our security gets better and better as technology continues to prove. Thank you!

    Thorsten hotz it’s good to hear that you have recorded a longer podcast on malware and botnets. Thanks for sharing that link from where we successfully obtained Chaosradio Express, but it would have been better if you would have provided us other than in german, since many of my friend hates Chaosradio Express in german.
    Malware and spyware are very dangerous for the PC as well as the smart card relates to the security system.They can easily affect those card and might erase the data from it.I have personally suffered because of the malware.

    The e-mail I currently use protects my from a lot of this type of thing. In the past my computer had a lot of issues with viruses and no I have no problems. A lot of websites I visit are also targets for viruses and it's unfortunate because I really enjoy browsing the internet.

    I'm thinking about making a podcast for a survival seed website I own. I thought it would be a great idea to get the message out about my product. It's good to know that podcasts are secure from hacking.
