Over some drinks at the last CERT.AT meeting in Vienna, the topic of security podcasts came up. It’s a topic that seems to be discussed a lot, and everybody has there own set of favourite podcasts that they listen to. So I’ve finally had time to sit down and go through my podcast list to pull out some of the ones I feel are worth listening to. Podcasts are a personal thing. Some people like highly technical podcasts, other like more operational style topics. I try to mix them up a little to get a bit of everything. Hope you enjoy, and if there’s something good that’s not on my list, please let me know. I can’t promise I’ll listen, but I’d be happy to try it out.

Well there it is, my shortened list of security podcasts (currently). I tend to switch and change depending on whats happening at the time and what my schedule is like. I’ve also skipped a few that don’t seem to be updating very regularly as their is a chance they’re off the air (blue box podcast, sploitcast spring to mind). I also snuck in one non-security podcast at the end. Give it a shot, it’s hilarious in an educational and strange way.If you’re into Linux as well, checkout the guys at Jupiter Broadcasting.
As I said before, if you’ve got some podcasts (good ones that is. Please don’t link me to Security NOW) that aren’t on my list, just let me know, and I’ll give them a shot.
