We recorded our first episode yesterday, and I thought it went great, however, there is a small issue with the audio. I failed to change the switch on the back of the Snowball Microphone to setting '3', which makes the mic take audio from both the front and the back. So my co-host sounds great, as he was in the 'front', but I sound like I'm 10 feet away.
We aren't audio engineers... if we were, we would not be doing security. So I get to add to my repertoire of vast and varied skills. One of these days, we'll be doing video editing for technical segments... I can only imagine how that's going to do.
Also, there was some content issues we'd like to address as well. Our first podcast is on the subject of Hashes, what they are, how they are used, and we even talked about how to make them more difficult to find any info from them (e.g. passwords, PII, etc). We talked about collisions, hash stretching, and adding salt to make them resistant to rainbow tables.
So my colleague will listen to it, and if he is okay with it, I'll post it on Monday. Don't expect a ton of production values, Probably intro and outro music. And we probably won't have our first interview for a couple of weeks.
If you are interested in doing a 10-20 minute interview about a security topic near and dear to your heart, please let me know. Twitter is probably the best way. I can be found @bryanbrake, or you can message me on LinkedIn.
This blog will still be used to put up the show notes, which will have links to information that we talked about. We will try to find real info, and not just a ton of Wikipedia articles. :) Also, we will use this for additional opinion articles that could be podcast episodes later on...
Have a great weekend, or hope you had a good one (depending on when you read this)...

#10: It's really happening folks...
Hell yea! The new podcast "Brakeing Down Security" will happen on 10 January 2014. Also, I'll have a co-host!
Before you go "Aw hell, ANOTHER security podcast", don't you fret my army of followers. I have been following the "I am the Calvary" mailing list for a while (and if you aren't, you should be), and there is a real need out there for training and awareness. Both those in the IT industry who do it on a daily basis, that maybe don't understand why they are doing what they are doing, or maybe that college student looking to expand her/his knowledge of Information Security and may not have a good place to go.
In the past year or so, I have seen many excellent speakers at the Capital of Texas ISSA chapter, talk about the difficulties of getting people to understand something as simple as password complexity or why we can't have Post-its on our monitors. This podcast is to be for folks like that, so if you're looking for techniques on how to reverse engineer Windows binaries, or creating malware for fun and profit, this won't be your bag. Ideally, I'd like to get up to that point, but that is probably many years in the future.
We are hoping to bring you interviews from people in the industry, people from the Privacy realm, from Healthcare, from Legal, you name it... What we want to show is how vast the industry truly is, so we may have a pentester on one month, and a lawyer specializing in Privacy law next month, or a compliance "check box weasel" the next month (I apologize to all the Compliance Officers out there). We want to do multimedia stuff as well, but just learning the sound editing is gonna be a pain, not even sure how video editing will do.
We're not trying to be the next Pauldotcom or Network Security Podcast (who am I kidding, that'd be awesome!), but we just want to put ourselves out there to be another reference for people who may not want a deep technical discussion.
This is going to be a labor of love, plus, we get CPEs for doing research and preparing for the podcast, so there is a plus in that.
So look here, or on my Twitter feed @bryanbrake, or on my LinkedIn for the post to the podcast. We'll most likely be using LibSyn for hosting, since I've been told by more than one person that they are pretty awesome.
I hope you enjoy it, we definitely want feedback and emails and constructive criticism
