Paul's Security Weekly - Special Edition - Mike Poor & Ed Skoudis Interview - Part I

We are very excited to present to our listeners an exclusive interview with Mike Poor & Ed Skoudis of Intelguardians and The SANS Institute. Larry, The Mason, and myself spoke with Mike and Ed about a wide range of information security topics. This is part I of a two part interview. In part I we discuss:

• First computers that Mike and Ed owned (NOT 0wn3d, see part II for that, kidding of course :)
• How Mike and Ed got their start in the information technology field
