Welcome to Blue Box: The VoIP Security Podcast show #36, a 83-minute podcast  from Dan York and Jonathan Zar with news and commentary about the world of VoIP security. This is a special edition focusing on the 2006 Black Hat Briefing in Las Vegas and the voice security talks that were given at the conference.

NOTE:  As explained in the show, this podcast #36 is being released before show #35, which will be released next week.  You didn't miss #35... it just hasn't been released yet.

NOTE: As I will explain in more detail on our next show (#37), there were a number of issues with the audio in this show both in the recording as well as in the post-production.  One of the issues was some very annoying noise artifacts in the Endler/Collier interview that sound like cell phone interference.  There are also a couple of gaps... and those with finally attuned ears will hear some clipping of the audio.  Suffice it to say that I would not want our podcast to be judged by the audio quality of this episode!  I'll explain more in our next episode about exactly why this episode didn't hit our usual quality level.
