Episode Synopsis

Every year at DEFCON, Riverside runs the Wall of Sheep - exposing the shame of attendees who log into the conference network as root. But in addition to embarrassment, Riverside's crew offers enlightenment - they're available in person to show you the setup that's sniffing out your mistakes and to educate you on the fine points of hardening your box for the rigors of public computing.

This year, Black Hat attendees will have the same learning/shaming opportunities as the Wall makes its way to Black Hat for the first time. Compute accordingly.

Here's a link to an old article in MAKE that lays it out for you.
