About the Show:

IT Security news, research, vulnerability discussions and interviews, now with entertainment! Larry and Paul try to cut through all of the fodder. They try to pick the stories that really matter, while thinking with their black hats on but offering security advise with the white hat on. Larry and Paul deliver the security news in a light hearted manner, but with enough meat and potatoes that the listener can take away valuable concepts (and propeller beanie is not required).
