Update those ASA's guys..

To all of my past ASA students, and even those of you who aren't if you are running 5580's there were several ASA vulnerabilies posted last week. As you know the vulnerabilites have been there since the code shipped, but now the bad guys know about it and can DoS your firewalls with single malformed packets..

Also, some of the latest adobe exploits effect the Mac community now :(. When people tell me that Apple sucks, I generally just laugh internally and don't make an argument, the less people using it the better, as far as security through obscurity is concerned, looks like they are starting to become more of a target unfortunately.

My favorite con of the year is less than a Month away, as you should know Defcon is the premiere hacking conference. Not the best on the east coast, or west, not the best in the US, but the best in the world! It follows Blackhat Las Vegas which is held at Caesars Palace just before the Defcon weekend (July 30-August 1). It will certainly be a great time this year, there are some really great looking talks. If any of my past students make it out, I'd like to buy a round of drinks so contact me if you're going!
