On this week's show we'll be chatting with Forbes' London bureau chief Parmy Olson. Parmy did a great job of covering the whole LulzSec fiasco last year for Forbes, but she's gone one better and written a book about the whole thing. It's called We Are Anonymous: Inside the hacker world of LulzSec and you know what? It's pretty good! Actually, it's really, really good. I'm about a third of the way through a review copy. Parmy will joins us to talk about what it was like to stitch a story like this together.

If people are wondering why on Earth Wikileaks' chief Julian Assange is apparently being pursued by the US Department of Justice, a new book by Forbes' London Bureau chief Parmy Olson might help to clear things up for you. Assange likes to proclaim that the DoJ investigation is a case of the big bad gummint being out to persecute him for being a truth-teller, but if Olson's book (Amazon) is to be believed it looks like he's been a very naughty boy.

The following is the closing session from AusCERT's 2012 conference, the speed debate. It's a chance to have a bit of a laugh at all things security and it's hosted by ABC personality Adam Spencer. Enjoy!

The following is a recording Susan Landau's plenary presentation. She's a Visiting Scholar in the Computer Science Department at Harvard University. Prior to that she worked as a Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems, and held faculty positions at the University of Massachusetts and Wesleyan University. Her talk is titled Surveillance or Security? The Risks Posed by New Wiretapping Technologies.

Yesterday I caught up with SCADA security expert and AusCERT speaker Mark Fabro of Lofty Perch. We spoke about attempts by governments to mandate minimum security requirements for critical infrastructure through regulation. I started off by asking him what regulation attempts in North America look like now.

In this sponsor podcast we're chatting with Declan Ingram, Principal Security Consultant with Datacom TSS. Datacom TSS is a relatively new Aussie company that offers all the usual services, like penetration testing and app review, and we're going to chat with Declan about when those types of services can be best deployed. Dropping massive amounts of budget on pentesting might not be the best way to use your resources, he says.

In this sponsored Arbor Networks founder and CTO Rob Malan. If you're lucky enough to have met Rob, you'd know that not only has he built a crazily successful business, but he's one of the most technologically savvy people you will ever meet. He lives and breathes his business, and lately he's been focussing on what he sees as a future problem area: Denial of service attacks against mobile 3G and 4G/LTE networks. As you'll hear, Rob says the average mobile network is a bit of a disaster and there'll be plenty of opportunities for miscreants to wreak havoc on them.

In this interview we chat with Juniper Networks' chief security architect Christopher Hoff. I posted the audio of Chris's plenary talk yesterday... it was very interesting stuff, so check it out if you get a chance. He basically outlined his vision for security automation -- security at scale. A part of that vision is advocating a more communication and integration between apps and infrastructure. He says apps should be able to interact directly with networking infrastructure through APIs. It sounds great, but could it be a disaster?

The following is a complete recording of Christopher Hoff's AusCERT presentation. He's the chief security architect with Juniper Networks. He has a vendor-heavy background, but don't hold that against him -- he's got some very interesting ideas around virtualisation, cloud computing and deperimiterisation. His talk is about automating security at scale, but he starts off, off all things, with a history innovation in toilets, which surprisingly works pretty well.
