Smashing Security, episode 39.

Whoa, are we talking to a cyborg with Carol Terry O and Graham Cluley?

Hello, hello, and welcome to episode 39 of Smashing Security for the 24th of August 2017.

My name is Graham Clooney, and I am joined as always by my good friend and co-host Kurole, Terrio. Hello, Kirol, how are you? I'm great, thank you. I can't believe we're going to have a 40th episode next week. I know, 40th episode next week. We haven't missed one week. Can I just say, in 40 weeks, we haven't missed a week? We have been flipping awesome, haven't we? And I'm sure someone who's been listening to every episode, every week, is our special guest this week. Isn't that right, Scott Helm? Hello, Scott. How are you? That's right. I'm good. Thank you. Was that definitely him saying he had listened to every episode? I'm not sure. Yes. Yeah, there's definitely what I said. 100%. 100%. He's worth every single word. Scott, for folks who don't know who you are and what you do, tell us about yourself. So the title that I go by is security researcher, which is kind of the posh way of saying hacker.

So I spent most of my time trying to break into systems and find security flaws with them

so that we can learn about them, fix them, and make everything better as a result.

Ooh, you're going to like my topic this week then.

But just to make clear, you're one of the good guys, right?

Yes.

So you're hacking into things with permission. He always wears white t-shirts, I'm sure. Yes, I do. And my face doesn't pixelate when you point a camera at me, so I'm definitely one of the good guys. So what we do every week is we look at what's been going on in the computer security news, things which have tickled our nostrils and made us interested and things which we thought that you might

want to hear our opinions about. And this week I thought, hey guys, I thought let's start off

with a little game, all right? Your games are always so boring. No, games aren't boring.

No, yours are. Okay, that's true. I'm going to, like, okay, here is Graham's little quiz, and it's called acronym time. Uh-oh. So, guys, I'm going to put a little clock on, right? I've got a, I've got a bing and a buzz, right? So I've got a bing like that, which means success, and I have a buzz. You don't get it wrong, right? I'm going to give you some acronyms, and I want you to tell me

what they stand for, okay? Are you up for us?

All right, number one, Teotwake. Teotwarki.

Is that an acronym or are you saying something in another language? I'm not'm not confused. This is the really marvelous industry of computer security that thinks this is really fun. I even, I'm, I think I've probably said this word talking to the press before and I can't for the life of me remember what it stands for. No. So it's T-E-O-T-W-K-I. Teot-T-O-T-W-A-W-K-I.

Teot-T-O-T-O-T-W-K-I.
