Episode 25 is here.  Today’s podcast is different than our usual.  Instead of having Jim, Dan, and Michael spout off and pontificate, we have Michael interviewing Wesley McGrew from McGrew Security.  Wesley is a security researcher at Mississippi State University’s Critical Infrastructure Protection Center, where he works to find vulnerabilities in SCADA software.  He also operates mcgrewsecurity.com , where he blogs about information security topics.

Wesley caught a script-kiddie back in June trying to do some pretty weak SCADA hacking at a Dallas-area hospital.  He and Michael talked about the adventure.  They also discussed some of Wesley’s future plan (not much since he couldn’t divulge a lot- oooo, mysterious!).  So enjoy the show.  Links to the blog posts from Wesley’s script kiddie adventure are below.
