Customer Reviews
Security Now
I have been listening to this program or watching it as either an audio podcast or a video one.
This show has been going on since 2005. There have indeed been 806 episodes up to this week. This is Friday, the 19th of February, 2021.
Steve Gibson and Leo Leporte work well together. There have been so many great security notifications and explanations of attacks and bugs and CVE’s and all of it.
There have been many great products I have been introduced to. A long time ago there was a firewall called Astaro. Steve and Leo point out great products that are either advertisers on the show or that are products they have and personally do use.
I bought myself a new firewall for home, pFsense/netgate. I also purchased the best disk tool ever created in my mind, SpinRite v 6.0. If you never have listened to someone that has so many of the inside stories and the real answers to burning questions, then you are really missing something. This one of the best Podcasts that I have ever and probably will ever listen to.
I get my security news and happenings about vulnerabilities in everything imaginable.
I am a UNIX/Linux Engineer. I have been working with UNIX since 1982. I have been involved with security since the beginning.
I was in Cupertino California in 2005, working at Sun Microsystems and I heard the first episode of security now, Aug 19, 2005, “As the Worm Turns - the first Internet Worms of 2005”.
So if you have never listened to this Podcast, you need to get on it. You can go back to the first episode by going to the Gibson Research Corporation, grc.com.
Thank you Steve and Leo. Thank you Apple for letting them be on your service as a Podcast. Thank you to all the people that makes this podcast possible. I have learned so many things since 2005.
Sincerely
Bill Branson
Very informative podcast
