[geeks] Tiger Team: new CourtTV show on penetration testing

[Chad McAuley]

Looks like CourtTV has a new series starting soon that follows a group 
of penetration testers as they go around doing their job.  There's not a 
lot of information about the show yet, but here's what I've been able to 
  put together so far.  The team is made up of Chris Nickerson, Luke 
McOmie, and Ryan Jones, and they'll be employing social engineering 
attacks as well as the usual attacks on computers/networks and physical 
security against their clients.  From what I can tell each episode will 
be 30 minutes, and there will be a new client every week.   I'm 
definitely interested to see what they do with this show.  I'm sure 
it'll be light on technical details since they're probably aiming this 
at the general public and not just us geeks, but I won't mind as long as 
they don't dumb it down too much.


The first episode airs at 11pm e/p (and then again at 11:30) on 
Christmas Day.  No clue why they chose that date for the premiere, since 
a lot of people will be spending time with their families, but I'm sure 
they'll be repeating it in the week between Christmas and New Year's. 
And if not, that's what DVRs and torrent sites are for. :)
