Welcome to Hacker Medley! We decided to try podcasting.
In our pilot show, Nat Friedman shares what he learned about mobile phone security at the 26th annual Chaos Communications Congress in Berlin.
It’s our first effort, so it’s a little rough. But please let us know what you think so we can decide whether or not to keep making these!
If you want to learn more about the stuff Nat was describing, here are some handy links:
- GSM — SRSLY? Karsten Nohl’s talk in which he revealed his project to generate rainbow tables for A5/1.
- OpenBSC Harald Welte’s project to create a GPL’d GSM Base Station Controller (and associated pieces) as a platform for security research.
- A $250 Alcatel/Lucent BST on eBay. Use this to provide OpenBSC with a radio link.
- OpenBTS Another effort to create an open source GSM network using a USRP (universal software radio peripheral).
- A description of the baseband processor / application processor split in mobile phones.
- Interesting information about GSM security from the folks at CryptoPhone.
- Airprobe — a GSM sniffer project.
- Wikipedia’s explanation of rainbow tables.

good idea and true actors; @orph and @nat
hacker medley have a great long life.
we will be waiting for the newest article.
Pretty cool – better intros (who you are, why I care) would be good. Otherwise it’s two geeky dudes talking about geeky stuff.
Ogg vorbis please!
Great Episode0. The format works very well, sounds like a couple of hackers just chatting over a cup of coffee. Very free flowing and natural sounding, Sound quality was great too.
As for episode length i think 15mins is good. especially considering the detail you manage to squeeze in. The explanations and detail was very good, and even someone with minimal hacking experience can follow easily.
Great production quaility
quality, your birds are sub par
Great 1st show… rockin’ to hear you guys musing about interesting stuff again.
nice show, looking forward to the newest stuff!
Good show
Rocking!
Really enjoy the pod guys- interesting material delivered well.
Keep it up!

I remember reading a story quite some time ago about a guy who built bluetooth antennas, put a few of them at different locations in the town (asking his friends) and was logging information about the devices of people passing by. He was able to identify patterns like where people were going and at what time…
love to hear about the future of javascript.
I just wanted to thank you for making such a great podcast. It gets me to think and makes my drive to work very enjoyable. I look forward to hearing more.
I really enjoy this very unique podcast. I really appreciate its technical, detailed nature, and good expository dialogue. Thanks very much for your episodes thus far.
Just listened to your first episode by chance while exploring Mint 9 and wanted to say: Congrats! Very concise and interesting.
This is the best netsec/developer-oriented podcast out there; you guys are easy on the ears, the presentation is clear, the sound quality is good, the intro music is good, and the material is interesting; I look forward to more podcasts in the future.
This is a great tip particularly to those fresh to the blogosphere.
Simple but very accurate information… Thanks for sharing this one.
A must read article!

Hi there, You have done a great job. I will certainly digg it and personally recommend to my friends.

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which
I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the
hang of it!
