		<title>Practical Cellphone Spying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Slides (OpenOffice) from my Defcon talk &#8211; hopefully video will be coming soon as well. A few notes about the demo and results. Firstly, power output. I was transmitting a total of 25 milliwatts &#8211; for a point of comparison that&#8217;s about as much power as a typical LED while a small flashlight consumes over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Extreme-Range RFID</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I&#8217;ve given the first of my Vegas talks I wanted to post everything online for anyone who couldn&#8217;t attend in person. Slides are here (OpenOffice format) Whitepaper is here (PDF) ID-Me source code is&#8230;currently kinda ugly. If anyone actually wants a copy let me know and I&#8217;ll clean it up for release. 217 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Defcon update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, I’ve heard that AT&#038;T may be considering suing me to stop my talk. I can’t understand why this would be the case, and I hope that if it’s true, they will contact me first to discuss their concerns. Let me clarify some things about my talk. First, I’m not doing anything to AT&#038;T’s or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Privacy concerns at Defcon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m planning to give a pretty spectacular demonstration of cellphone insecurity at Defcon, where I will intercept the cellular phone calls of the audience without any action required on their part. As you can imagine, intercepting cellphone calls is a Very Big Deal so I wanted to announce at least some of the plan to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Illegally detained by Costco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never been a fan of &#8220;bag-checkers&#8221; at store exits &#8211; I value the rights that the 4th amendment gives me and I object to waiting in line to be searched like a criminal. So, when leaving the Costco in Mountain View today I ignored the queue for the search squad and walked straight out [...]]]></description>

		<title>AT&amp;T do it right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an article at the Wall Street Journal about the iPad ICCID breach, AT&#038;T CEO Randall Stephenson said that they will give a new SIM card to anyone who asks. This is absolutely the right thing to do – kudos is due to both Mr Stephenson and to AT&#038;T for their response here. Thankyou &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>ICCIDs IMSIs and iPads, Oh My!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago Apple suffered a security breach &#8211; the ICCIDs and email adresses for 114,000 iPad users were hacked, leading to widespread press coverage and speculation. The general consensus seems to be that the ICCID (being the serial number that&#8217;s printed onto the SIM card) has no real security consequences to its disclosure, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Comcast Business Services</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My consulting company just moved into a new office in Redwood City. One of the first tasks for such a move is to establish Internet connectivity; I&#8217;ve been reasonably happy with Comcast at home (the occasional glitch but nothing too serious) so I decided to sign up with them again for the office. I started [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenBTS on Droid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To repeat what I said on Twitter, it&#8217;s somewhat pointless but a neat hack nonetheless &#8211; running a GSM base station from a CDMA handset. With minimal work it&#8217;s possible to get gnuradio and OpenBTS working on the ARMEL architecture used on the Droid, allowing my Droid to act as a base station to which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Credit card &#8220;security&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;m supposed to be writing up the OpenBTS thing (it&#8217;s coming) but this was a quick thought that I had to get out in the meantime. I hear a lot of people talking about PCI, discussing whether or not it actually does anything for security, whether it was a move on the part [...]]]></description>
