Sorry for editing the post, but rouge/rogue is one of my pet peeves.
|
Hmm, red hackers?
For anyone who doesn't know, rouge is french for red.
The way English speaking people pronounce GENRE annoys me 
|
Hoping there's more shootouts and car chases in episode 2.

Seeing how this is posted on the front page...I'm taking my coments from the coffee house post and put it here.
Good to see the code room hasn't been cancelled like I thought it had last week. 
Dude Joe Stagner's in this episode.....he's one of the best security guys I know. Check out his digital black belt series from last year.
From the episode....
"3 million dollars" in a black duffel bag...and that's the level of excitement?!?!? Developers sure are bad actors....but we already knew that. 
From the episode.....
Casino manager...."I'm concerned:.....wait you just lost 3 million dollars and your just "concerned"?!?! wow.....poor acting strikes again.
Best line from the whole episode: "can you toss me the cookie"
Lastly....it's called the code room....in this episode I saw very little actual code....actually was this a java app, or a .NET app? I don't even know what Microsoft technologies were profiled, if any?
I hope this isn't a troubling trend for future episodes. |

damn hackers , lol
zeo, that .net app btw
|
ummmm..
how was this a code room? cause they happened to be gathered in a hotel room? and no real description of tools or anything.
this was weak. if i wanted cop drama, i'd turn on the t.v.
|
Duh, guys. I think the video was about the concepts and the details don't matter.
The funny thing for me was the style of production. It was done like the kind of 'educational' clips you might see on early morning TV, like at 3 AM, LOL. Hilarious and difficult to take seriously unless you know about the reality of what they were trying to convey.

EXACTLY!!! We did this show this way because talking about security is like talking about 'diet and exercise',  nobody wants to hear about it. If we can make it a little more fun then hopefully more people will get the message and want to begin to learn more about writing more secure software.
|
i think the second one was the best.
the acting in this one was bad but why is there acting anyway? i thought the code room was more reality based. it was better when you put dev's in a room and gave them a task.
|
First, I thought it was very well done, and interesting. But, where's the code? That's what I'd like to see. I realize that the subject matter is too broad to do that in this case, but the first 2 epsiodes focussed on that a bit.

boys, you are missing the point entirely (well maybe not Toast). Okay, so the show is called The Code Room, and you didn't see a lot of coding in the episode. But the whole point of the episode is that WEB DEVELOPERS (you know, the folks who WRITE CODE) need to design their applications to defend against these kinds of attacks before they happen. In this viewer's opinion, the episode wasn't designed to be a 30 minute How To Code Secure Web Applications lesson but to show what web devs are up against - SQL Injection, session hijacking, etc regardless of whose technology solutions they are using. I suspect the goal was to motivate web devs (and the people who manage them, and the people who care about protecting their data) to go learn more about how to defend against these attack techniques.
Sure, the screenplay won't win an emmy award. But it was definitely edutainment. And wouldn't you have been more annoyed if they'd used a bunch of know-nothing actors who can't tell a program from a process?
just enjoy the ride.

I just went to order the Security resource kit, but it's only available for US people only 
The link on the page for Australia has absolutely not mention of this kit anywhere.
Can we poor backward folk from DownUnder order a copy, or are we going to be left to hassle our australian MS contacts ?

I'll check into this. I was working with the MS Australia team on this and thought we had it available there.
Sorry for the troubles.
