[Offtopic] AirPlay on the home network

Aside

Just a quick share on something that made me very happy this week (that’s what happens when the wife is not around): Enabling AirPlay on a non-apple device to stream both music as well as video to my Boxee (on an Xtreamer Ultra Linux box).

Pascal Widdershoven has published a really simple and quick to install script here: Airplayer

Albert Zeyer has the equivalent one for playing audio: Shairport

Installation of both is fairly straightforward (just read the readme/install files) and worked flawlessly on my rig. Have fun!

Radio Interview with Galatz [Hebrew]

Following is my radio interview with Galatz’s “Security Belt” programme where we discuss Cyber Security issues, the political and diplomatic aspects of them, and the recent attacks on Israeli sites as a result of the Terror attacks on Israel and the resulting conflicts it spawned.

The show’s website can be found here.

Remembering “The Shoe”

If you have been listening to any security podcasts in the past year or so, I’m sure you must have stumbled across the ISDPodcast (InfoSec Daily). If you haven’t, now’s the time to do so.

Matthew Shoemaker, one of the podcasters along with Rick Hayes, has passed away last Friday. He left a wife and two kids behind him.
I have had the great honor of being on the podcast, and to have a great conversation (on, and off the air) with both Rick and Matthew.

For donations to the Matthew Shoemaker memorial fund which would help out his wife and kids, Rick has set up a PayPal page – http://bit.ly/cVDsID.
