Security Now 19
OpenVPN
Security Now! with Steve Gibson, Episode 19 is out early.
Steve finishes out his search for a way to secure hotspot Internet access with a look at OpenVPN. But first, he responds to some issues from previous shows...
Steve offers newsgroup style security discussions on his site at grc.com/discussions.htm. He uses Gravity for Windows to read them.
Has WPA been cracked? Despite Seth Fogie's article earlier this year in InformIT.com, it has not. The crack is nothing more than a brute force attack that is easily thwarted by a good password, like those Steve offers on his page.
He also talked about another very good freeVPN implementation called iPIG. Bad name, but an excellent implementation. Read the thread Steve started on the iPig Forums.
