Hackfest Podcast

This week, for the second Hackfest Podcast of January, we have a special edition for you.

Interview with Mr. Al-Khabaz from Dawson College


Together with Richer and, specially, Ben from the LiquidMatrix.org Podcast, we interview Mr. Al-Kahbaz from Dawson College after he was expelled from his school for "finding a vulnerability in the omnivox system".

Hear his side of the story, based on the technical facts of the discovery of the Omnivox vulnerabilities (by Skytech) and on the exchanges between Mr. Al-Khabaz, Skytech and Dawson College.
