- Firetalks!
Presentation Title: Securing Wireless Channels in the Mobile Space
Abstract: Secure channels are a cornerstone to individuals and employees on the go. The mobile environment adds additional pressures to securely delivering content to users - irregardless of whether its an email service delivering personal messages to a user, an organization providing company secrets to a mobile workforce, or a content provider streaming protected media to a subscriber. This talk will discuss the mobile environment, challenges to securely delivering content, examine past failures, offer remediation for issues in the environment, provide sample code for Android, iOS, .Net, OpenSSL, and discuss initiatives to address known issues.

Presentation Title: Automating (Some) Android Security Testing
Abstract: Dynamically assessing an Android application for security issues requires examining many different layers. Some areas are extremely feasible to automate, while some areas may lend themselves better to manual analysis or semi-automated analysis. This presentation will present a more semi-automated approach to assessing applications rather than 'fire and forget' testing. We'll also look at some of the prerequisites for performing Android testing as well as some of the essentials for things you'll want in your testing environment (such as coffee and Red Bull).

- Firetalks!
Presentation Title: Benchmarking Web Application Scanners for YOUR Organization
Abstract: Web applications pose significant risks for organizations. The selection of an appropriate scanning product or service can be challenging because every organization develops their web applications differently and decisions made by developers can cause wide swings in the value of different scanning technologies. To make a solid, informed decision, organizations need to create development team- and organization-specific benchmarks for the effectiveness of potential scanning technologies. This involves creating a comprehensive model of false positives, false negatives and other factors prior to mandating analysis technologies and making decisions about application risk management. This presentation provides a model for evaluating application analysis technologies, introduces an open source tool for benchmarking and comparing tool effectiveness, and outlines a process for making organization-specific decisions about analysis technology selection.
Speaker Bio: Dan Cornell has over 15 years experience architecting and developing web-based software systems. As CTO, he leads Denim Group's security research team in investigating the application of secure coding and development techniques to improve web-based software development methodologies. He also heads the Denim Group security research team, investigating the application of secure coding and development techniques to the improvement of web-based software development methodologies. Dan currently serves as the OWASP San Antonio chapter leader, member of the OWASP Global Membership Committee and co-lead of the OWASP Open Review Project. Dan has spoken at numerous security conferences, such as RSA in San Francisco, OWASP EU Research in Athens and OWASP AppSec USA in Minneapolis.

- Talk: John Steven - "Password Storage Security"
- Firetalks!
Presentation Title: "Password Storage Security" Storage Security.pdf
Abstract: During the June meeting we discussed the LinkedIn password theft which was just beginning its the news cycle. We'll use the July chapter meeting to discuss issues around password hashing and a solution. While wholly different schemes for protecting passwords at rest are preferable, it's instructive to look at hashing passwords as a threat modeling exercise and take the time to follow through to a fix.
To read up on the issue, look at my latest blog post on the topic: League Blog - Securing Password Storage
For those who were sufficiently intrigued, mystified, or inspired by the presentation on password protection at the last chapter meeting, Coursera is offering a free 6-week Stanford course on cryptography that begins on August 27th ("Learn about the inner workings of cryptographic primitives and how to apply this knowledge in real-world applications!"): Course

- Talk: "Malicious Code Detection or BRIC Breaking Through Static Analysis" by Masha Khainson (Cigital)
- Firetalks!
- ISSA NoVA Social @Champps! :)
Presentation Title: "Malicious Code Detection or BRIC Breaking Through Static Analysis"
Abstract: Malicious Code Detection or BRIC Breaking Through Static Analysis: As organizations outsource development to less trustworthy providers malware becomes as much a problem as introduction of honest vulnerability by one's own development shop. Assessment practices currently look for vulnerability within source code and a running systems but these are but a few of windows of opportunity for malware introduction. This presentation demonstrates an approach for augmenting an existing security practice with the capability to detect potentially malicious code through secure code review. First, we show how to break malicious intent--often quite subtle--into concrete patterns we can reliably detect. The framework then demonstrates how to build suspicion around reliance of particular patterns' use in concert which, increasingly, imply malicious intent. These techniques will be explained through a demonstration in a real world application.
Bio Masha (a.k.a Marina) has dreamed of becoming a security consultant before she ever knew what a ballerina was, and that's a good thing - because she does not intend her talk to be a ballet recital. Having been in software security for over seven years, Ms. Khainson has delivered Architecture Risk Assessment, Secure Code Review, and Ethical Hacking on many architectures, platforms and technologies. Marina has also developed training materials for clients and led remediation assistance teams.
Prior to joining Cigital, Marina was a member of a research team at a leading security research provider, where using disassembly as well as protocol and source code analysis, she provided key information on newly released vulnerabilities. Before that, Marina assisted the same research team in producing detailed reports on critical malware and spyware threats, as well as developing and testing content for network security devices from some of the top providers of intrusion detection and prevention technologies.

# News / Updates # Talk: "Lessons Learned from the SQL Injection Challenge" by Ryan Barnett (Trustwave SpiderLabs) # Firetalks! :)
Presentation Title: "Lessons Learned from the SQL Injection Challenge"
Abstract: How effective are blacklist filters vs. SQL Injection attacks? What is the failure rate vs. automated scanning or manual testing? Are there any "Time-to-Bypass" metrics? In an attempt to answer these questions, Trustwave SpiderLabs' Research Team (the development team behind the ModSecurity WAF and the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set) held a community "SQL Injection Challenge" to test the effectiveness of the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set protections. This presentation will provide an overview of the challenge, a step-by-step walk-through of the bypass tactics used by the winners, as well as, present a new approach to attack detection using ModSecurity's Lua API to perform Bayesian analysis.
Speaker Bio: Ryan C. Barnett (Twitter: @ryancbarnett) is a senior security researcher on Trustwave's SpiderLabs Team. He is a SANS Institute certified instructor and a member of both the Top 20 Vulnerabilities and CWE/SANS Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors teams.

Speaker: Ben Tomhave
Title: The Unintended Consequences of Beating Users with Carrot Sticks: Radical Thoughts on Security Reform
Description: What we're doing today is not working and isn't sustainable. The fundamental culture of the average business does not encourage making good security decisions. Software shops continue to focus on functionality and timelines, neglecting information security. In spite of regulations like PCI and HIPAA+HITECH, which are levying fines against organizations for their security failures, the tipping point has clearly not been reached to cause meaningful change. Much of this problem can be attributed to the excessive use of negative incentives (sticks) instead of providing positive incentives (carrots) that inspire better decision making and motivate true change. Fortunately, it's not too late to change tactics and start achieving demonstrable success.
Speaker Bio: Ben Tomhave is a Senior Security Analyst with Gemini Security Solutions in Chantilly, VA, specializing in solutions architecture, security planning, program development and management, and other strategic security solutions. He holds a MS in Engineering Management with an Information Security Management concentration from The George Washington University and is a CISSP.

A redux of the presentation that Alex delivered at B-Sides San Francisco during RSA 2010. "Now that the industry is trying to formalize the concept of risk management into neat little compartments like standards (ISO 27005/31000), certifications (CRISC) and products (GRC) guess what? We're doing it wrong. Fundamentally wrong. This talk will discuss why all this current risk management stuff is goofy and what sort of alternatives we have that might help us understand our ability to protect, our tendency towards failure, and how to match that up with what management will stomach."

TOPIC: "Conducting Application Assessment"
SPEAKER: Jeremy Epstein, SRI
After the 2000 election, many states launched headlong into electronic voting systems to avoid the problems with "hanging chads". Once problems with those systems started appearing, many localities started moving to optical scan, which was used by a majority of US voters in the 2008 election. There are other technologies in use around the country, including lever machines, vote-by-mail, vote-by-phone, and Internet voting. What are the tradeoffs among these technologies? Particularly relevant to OWASP, what are the security issues associated with different types of equipment, and what measures do vendors of voting equipment use to try to address the security problems? Are software security problems important, or can non-technical measures protect against them? In this talk, we'll discuss a wide variety of voting technologies, and their pros and cons from both a technical and societal perspective.
Jeremy Epstein is Senior Computer Scientist at SRI International. His background includes more than 20 years experience in computer security research, product development, and consulting. Prior to joining SRI International, he was Principal Consultant with Cigital, and before that spent nine years as Senior Director of Product Security at Software AG, an international business software company. Within the area of voting systems, Jeremy has been involved for over five years in voting technology and advocacy, both as an employee and as an independent consultant.

TOPIC: "Ounce's 02"
SPEAKER(S): Dinis Cruz, OWASP, Ounce Labs.
DESCRIPTION: So what is O2?
Well in my mind O2 is a combination of advanced tools (Technology) which are designed to be used on a particular way (Process) by knowledgeable Individuals (People)
Think about it as a Fighter Jet who is able to go very fast, has tons of controls, needs to be piloted by somebody who knows what they are doing and needs to have a purpose (i.e. mission).
Basically what I did with O2 was to automate the workflow that I have when I'm engaged on a source-code security review.
Now, here is the catch, this version is NOT for the faint-of-heart. I designed this to suit my needs, which although are the same as most other security consultants, have its own particularities :)
The whole model of O2 development is based around the concept of automating a security consultant's brain, so I basically ensure that the main O2 Developer (Dinis Cruz) has a very good understanding of the feature requirements of the targeted Security Consultant (Dinis Cruz) :) . And this proved (even to my surprise) spectacularly productive, since suddenly I (i.e. the security consultant) didn't had to wait months for new features to be added to its toolkit. If there was something that needed to be added, it would just be added in days or hours.

Ryan C. Barnett, Breach Security: Patching Challenge: Securing WebGoat with ModSecurity
Identification of web application vulnerabilities is only half the battle with remediation efforts as the other. Let's face the facts, there are many real world business scenarios where it is not possible to update web application code in either a timely manner or at all. This is where the tactical use-case of implementing a web application firewall to address identified issues proves its worth.
This talk will provide an overview of the recommended practices for utilizing a web application firewall for virtual patching. After discussing the framework to use, we will then present a very interesting OWASP Summer of Code Project where the challenge was to attempt to mitigate as many of the OWASP WebGoat vulnerabilities as possible using the open source ModSecurity web application firewall. During the talk, we will discuss both WebGoat and ModSecurity and provide in-depth walk-throughs of some of the complex fixes. Examples will include addressing not only attacks but the underlying vulnerabilities, using data persistence for multiple-step processes, content injection and even examples of the new LUA programming language API. The goal of this talk is to both highlight cutting edge mitigation options using a web application firewall and to show how it can effectively be used by security consultants who traditionally could only offer source code fixes.
Ryan C. Barnett is the Director of Application Security Research at Breach Security and leads Breach Security Labs. He is also a Faculty Member for the SANS Institute, Team Lead for the Center for Internet Security Apache Benchmark Project and a Member of the Web Application Security Consortium where he leads the Distributed Open Proxy Honeypot Project. Mr. Barnett has also authored a web security book for Addison/Wesley Publishing entitled "Preventing Web Attacks with Apache."

January 2009
To kick off 2009, our January meeting featured a discussion of the relationship between application security and CMMI, and an overview of the OWASP ASVS project.
Michele Moss, Booz Allen Hamilton: Evolutions In The Relationship Between Application Security And The CMMI
Addressing new and complex threats and IT security challenges requires repeatable, reliable, rapid, and cost effective solutions. To implement these solutions, organizations have begun to align their security improvement efforts with their system and software development practices. During a "Birds of a Feather" at the March 2007 SEPG, a group of industry representatives initiated an effort which led to the definition of assurance practices that can be applied in the context of the CMMI. This presentation will provide an understanding how applying the assurance practices in the context of security contribute to the overall increased quality of products and services, illustrate how the a focus on assurance in the context of CMMI practices is related to application security practices, and present and approach to evaluate and improve the repeatability and reliability of assurance practices.
Michele Moss, CISSP, is a security engineer with more than 12 years of experience in process improvement. She specializes in integrating assurance processes and practices into project lifecycles. Michele is the Co-Chair of the DHS Software Assurance Working Group on Processes & Practices. She has assisted numerous organizations with maturing their information technology, information assurance, project management, and support practices through the use of the capability maturity models including the CMMI, and the SSE-CMM. She is one of the key contributors in an effort to apply an assurance focus to CMMI.

Mike Boberski, Booz Allen Hamilton: About OWASP ASVS
The primary aim of the OWASP ASVS Project is to normalize the range of coverage and level of rigor available in the market when it comes to performing application-level security verification. The goal is to create a set of commercially-workable open standards that are tailored to specific web-based technologies.
Mike Boberski works at Booz Allen Hamilton. He has a background in application security and the use of cryptography by applications. He is experienced in trusted product evaluation, security-related software development and integration, and cryptomodule testing. For OWASP, he is the project lead and a co-author of the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard, the first OWASP standard.

November 2008
For our November 2008 meeting, we had two great presentations on software assurance and security testing.
Nadya Bartol, Booz Allen Hamilton: Framework for Software Assurance
Nadya's presentation will provide an update on the Software Assurance Forum efforts to establish a comprehensive framework for software assurance (SwA) and security measurement. The Framework addresses measuring achievement of SwA goals and objectives within the context of individual projects, programs, or enterprises. It targets a variety of audiences including executives, developers, vendors, suppliers, and buyers. The Framework leverages existing measurement methodologies, including Practical Software and System Measurement (PSM); CMMI Goal, Question, Indicator, Measure (GQ(I)M); NIST SP 800-55 Rev1; and ISO/IEC 27004 and identifies commonalities among the methodologies to help organizations integrate SwA measurement in their overall measurement efforts cost-effectively and as seamlessly as possible, rather than establish a standalone SwA measurement effort within an organization. The presentation will provide an update on the SwA Forum Measurement Working Group work, present the current version of the Framework and underlying measures development and implementation processes, and propose example SwA measures applicable to a variety of SwA stakeholders. The presentation will update the group on the latest NIST and ISO standards on information security measurement that are being integrated into the Framework as the standards are being developed.

Paco Hope, Cigital: The Web Security Testing Cookbook
The Web Security Testing Cookbook (O'Reilly & Associates, October 2008) gives developers and testers the tools they need to make security testing a regular part of their development lifecycle. Its recipe style approach covers manual, exploratory testing as well automated techniques that you can make part of your unit tests or regression cycle. The recipes cover the basics like observing messages between clients and servers, to multi-phase tests that script the login and execution of web application features. This book complements many of the security texts in the market that tell you what a vulnerability is, but not how to systematically test it day in and day out. Leverage the recipes in this book to add significant security coverage to your testing without adding significant time and cost to your effort.

The latest in a series of occasional posts on authors who praise each other's work
Gloria Steinem on J. Courtney Sullivan's Commencement:
"Take Mary McCarthy's The Group, add a new feminist generation striving to understand everything from themselves and their mothers to the notion of masculinity that fuels sex trafficking, and you get this generous-hearted, brave first novel. Commencement makes clear that the feminist revolution is just beginning."
J. Courtney Sullivan on Gloria Steinem in Commencement:
From the acknowledgments for Commencement: "For helping me understand the reality of sex trafficking in America, I owe thanks to … Gloria Steinem."
From the pages of Commencement: "I came here because it was the alma mater of Gloria Steinem and Molly Ivins. I thought it was the most effective place to fight the patriarchy in this godforsaken country." — A character named April on why she wanted to attend Smith College
Also from Commencement: "Her ultimate hero was Gloria Steinem. She had improved countless lives , with actions as simple as setting up networks of women who would otherwise never have found one another and starting a magazine devoted to feminism. She always stood up for what was right and never compromised her principles, but she also didn't offend the average person's sensibilities and wasn't afraid to highlight her hair. She liked men! She dated. She got married, though it ended tragically. She was a real woman who believed in equality. Wasn't that a hundred times more powerful than the contributions of someone who was divisive and scary. …? — A Smith alumna named Sally on the different types of activism

Spokane toddler gets state-of-the-art bionic arms, hands
PORTLAND (KPTV) -- Eighteen-month-old Jameson Davis was born with only partial arms, but now he may be the youngest person ever to get a set of state-of-the-art bionic arms and hands.
Jameson and his parents, Brooke and Jim, live in Spokane, but recently visited Advanced Arm Dynamics in Portland, where engineers and technicians designed and built Jameson's new arms.
It's not easy to design artificial limbs for a toddler because he can't tell you what he needs and wants.
But Kerstin Baum, a rehab coordinator, worked with Jameson, learning about what he likes to do and which toys he prefers.
She also had to figure out what he'll want to do in the near future; for instance, riding a tricycle.
Braun gave that information to Mac Lang and his design team at Advanced Arm Dynamics. Their challenge was to make arms that Jameson would find comfortable and that he could eventually operate himself.
"We wanted to make it as functional as possible to give him the best ability to use it and to want to use it," Lang said.
FOX 12 watched Jameson as he tried out his right and left arms for the first time, and started to figure out how to use them. Grabbing and gripping, Jameson tried to pick up everything, even tiny M&Ms.
For now, these artificial limbs may be more like toys to Jameson, but his parents hope he'll someday see how these new tools can help him live life to the fullest.
"Imagine where prosthetics will be when he's in high school. I mean, imagine the possibilities. So why not give him the tools available so that as he grows up, that's what he knows," said Jim Davis, Jameson's father.

NEW ORLEANS – BP bears most of the blame for the disastrous 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico because it cut corners and put profits ahead of safety, a U.S. Justice Department attorney charged Monday at the opening of a high-stakes trial that could result in the oil company and its partners being forced to pay billions more in damages.
The London-based oil giant acknowledged it made "errors in judgment" before the deadly blowout, but it also cast blame on the owner of the drilling rig and the contractor involved in cementing the well.
The civil case went to trial after attempts to reach an 11th-hour settlement failed.
Eleven workers were killed when the Deepwater Horizon rig leased by the BP exploded on April 20, 2010. An estimated 172 millions of gallons (651 million litres) of crude spilled into the Gulf over the three months that followed.
Justice Department attorney Mike Underhill said the catastrophe resulted from BP's "culture of corporate recklessness."
"The evidence will show that BP put profits before people, profits before safety and profits before the environment," Underhill said in opening statements. He added: "Despite BP's attempts to shift the blame to other parties, by far the primary fault for this disaster belongs to BP."
BP attorney Mike Brock acknowledged that the oil company made mistakes. But he accused rig owner Transocean Ltd. of failing to properly maintain the rig's blowout preventer and claimed cement contractor Halliburton used a "bad slurry" that failed to prevent oil and gas from travelling up the well.
BP has already pleaded guilty to manslaughter and other criminal charges and has racked up more than $24 billion in spill-related expenses, including compensation for businesses and individuals, cleanup costs and $4 billion in criminal penalties.
But the federal government, Gulf Coast states and individuals and businesses hope to convince a judge that the company and its partners in the ill-fated drilling project are liable for much more in civil damages under the federal Clean Water Act and other environmental regulations.
U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier is hearing the case without a jury and — barring a settlement — will decide months from now how much more money BP and the other companies must pay.
During opening statements, attorney Jim Roy, who represents individuals and businesses hurt by the spill, said BP executives applied "huge financial pressure" to "cut costs and rush the job." The project was more than $50 million over budget and behind schedule at the time of the blowout, Roy said.
"BP repeatedly chose speed over safety," Roy said, quoting from a report by an expert who may testify.
Roy said the spill also resulted from Transocean's "woeful" safety culture and failure to properly train its crew. And Roy said Halliburton provided BP with a product that was "poorly designed, not properly tested and was unstable."
BP's partners pointed the finger at the oil company and at each other.
Brad Brian, a lawyer for Transocean, said the company had an experienced, well-trained crew on the rig. He said the Transocean workers' worst mistake may have been placing too much trust in the BP supervisors on the rig.
"And they paid for that trust with their lives," Brian said. "They died not because they weren't trained properly. They died because critical information was withheld from them."
A lawyer for Halliburton defended the company's work and tried to pin the blame on BP and Transocean.
"If BP had shut in the well, we would not be here today," Halliburton's Donald Godwin said.
Underhill, the Justice Department attorney, heaped blame on BP for cost-cutting decisions made in the months and weeks leading up the disaster. He said two BP rig supervisors, Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine, disregarded abnormally high pressure readings that should have been glaring indications of trouble.
Kaluza and Vidrine have been indicted on federal manslaughter charges.
Hundreds of attorneys have worked on the case, generating roughly 90 million pages of documents, logging nearly 9,000 docket entries and taking more than 300 depositions from witnesses who could testify at trial.
"In terms of sheer dollar amounts and public attention, this is one of the most complex and massive disputes ever faced by the courts," said Fordham University law professor Howard Erichson, an expert in complex litigation.
One of the biggest questions facing the judge is whether BP acted with gross negligence.
Under the Clean Water Act, a polluter can be forced to pay a minimum of $1,100 per barrel of spilled oil; the fines nearly quadruple to about $4,300 a barrel for companies found grossly negligent, meaning BP could be on the hook for nearly $18 billion.
The judge plans to hold the trial in at least two phases. The first phase, which could last three months, is designed to determine what caused the blowout and assign percentages of blame to the companies involved. The second phase will determine how much crude spilled into the Gulf.
The spill fouled marshes, killed wildlife and closed fishing grounds. Scientists warn that the disaster's full effect may not be known for years. But they have reported dying coral reefs and fish afflicted with lesions and illnesses that might be oil-related.

By our count, the massive Ultimate FAQ that Sony posted today regarding the PS4 answers 191 questions about the system, ranging from the essential ("When does PS4 come out in different countries and regions?") to the trivial ("Does PS4's graphical user interface have a name like the PS3 system's 'Cross Media Bar'?").
You can read through the whole thing yourself, but you'll end up wasting a lot of time on things that are obvious, already well-known, or simply inessential marketing speak. To help save you the trouble, here is our list of 17 good, bad, and ugly things we learned from the FAQ. While not all of these items are strictly new information, they are all important or interesting, and they're presented here to counteract the slow drip of information Sony has been putting out for months now.
The good
You can be logged in to two PS4 systems at once
As long as one of the systems is the "primary" system for a given PSN account, you can simultaneously log in on another PS4 without kicking out the first user. This will give you access to all the same games, cloud saves, and any other information from the second system—no fuss, no muss. This is potentially a killer feature for multi-system homes.
The PS4 supports system-level voice commands
With the PlayStation Camera or the included mono headset, you can "control key PS4 functions using [voice] commands such as starting up a game or taking a screenshot." I'm sure Sony has mentioned this in the past, but the company has generally buried any talk of this feature. Microsoft, on the other hand, has been trumpeting the Xbox One Kinect's support for voice commands from the highest rooftops for months now.
The PS4 is designed to stand upright or be laid flat
This is in contrast to the Xbox One, which Microsoft says you should only stack vertically "at your own risk." Sony is even selling an official stand for $14 to make sure your vertical system stays stable.
You don't need to reset the PS4's video settings when moving a system to a new TV
Anyone who ever took their PS3 to a friend's house, only to end up struggling to even get a picture to show up on a TV with different display settings or resolution, faced this annoyance. Apparently, Sony has fixed the problem this time around.
The PS4 uses an internal power supply rather than a bulky external power brick
This is a nice holdover from the PlayStation 3 and an advantage over the Xbox One, which has a power brick that's actually bigger than the one on the current Xbox 360.
The bad
The PS4 doesn't support external hard drives
We had some idea this one was coming—Sony's Shuhei Yoshida tweeted about it a few months ago, but the official confirmation is a big deal. One possible reason: all PS4 games have to be cached to the hard drive "to ensure a smooth gaming experience," according to Sony. Trying to stream that cached game data over a USB connection might be too slow to provide the desired smoothness.
It should be noted that the Xbox One also won't have this feature at launch, but Microsoft says that it is working on adding it in a future update. Sony's answer doesn't suggest any similar future update is coming. On the plus side, Sony reconfirmed that the included 500GB hard drive inside the PS4 is fully replaceable with another standard hard drive, just as it was on the PS3. The Xbox One, on the other hand, doesn't allow for the internal hard drive to be replaced.
The PS4 can't play MP3s or audio CDs, and it doesn't have an audio visualizer
Some of the most surprising revelations in the FAQ have to do with the removal of a lot of audio media support functions that were in the PlayStation 3 (and have been in the PlayStation line since the original system, in the case of audio CD and visualizer support). This might seem like a baffling thing to remove until you scroll down a bit in the FAQ and read about Sony's own Music Unlimited service, which is now the only way for PS4 owners to "create the soundtrack of their choice to listen to while playing their favorite games"—as long as users pay $10 a month for the privilege. We can't say for sure that these two facts are linked, but it is rather suspicious.
The PS4 can't stream audio and video files from a PC over DLNA
Another PS3 media feature that's missing from the PS4 is the lack of DLNA support, which will be disappointing to anyone who planned to use their PS4 as a media hub for their living room. These days, chances are good that you have some other devices hooked up to your TV that do largely the same thing. Still, it's a disappointing rollback.
The PS4 needs a one-time online activation before it can play DVDs and Blu-ray movies
We've actually known about this since last week, when Sony first announced the day-one downloadable update that will activate many of the PS4's launch features. Still, we find it a little amusing (and baffling) that the PlayStation 2 could play DVDs right out of the box back in 2000, but its successor's successor can't do the same 13 years later. This is progress?
The official Blu-ray remote for the PlayStation 3 won't work on the PlayStation 4
We can understand why Sony would want to cut off support for the old DualShock 3 controller, which is missing a few key features that are built in to the DualShock 4. Removing the functionality of the old remote, though, is more mystifying.
You can't add a voiceover to a shared gameplay clip on the PS4
While you can talk over a livestream of your gameplay, you can't add audio to a recorded gameplay video clip before you share it to Facebook or PSN. Voiceovers can be added after the fact on the Xbox One using the system's Upload Studio software.
Players can't export PS4 gameplay clips directly to a PC
While this feature is being promised for a future update, it will be missing at launch. Combined with the lack of an external HDMI-capture solution until another future update means it's going to be hard to get video off of the PS4 in a form that's of much use to YouTubers and others who need it at launch.
The ugly
PS4 games no longer come on DVD?
That's the implication from an answer indicating that "physical PS4 games come on Blu-ray Disc, the best form of media capable of handling the large amounts of data that PS4 requires." We suppose there's no reason to continue to support plain-old DVD-based games any longer, but it's still the end of an era if the format is on its way out for game storage.
The PS4 allows for firmware update from a "safe mode"
Like the PS3 before it, you'll be able to boot the PS4 to a "safe mode" by holding down the power button for seven seconds. This will allow users to install firmware updates from a USB memory stick, but Sony warns that "Users should only update using official files downloaded from PlayStation.com." How long do you think it will be before hackers try to use this safe mode installation to their own advantage?
The PS4 only supports four controllers being connected at one time
This is technically a downgrade from the PS3, which allowed for seven DualShock controllers to be synced at once. That said, I can't think of any PS3 games that allow for seven-player local multiplayer, so this isn't that much of a downgrade.
Vita Remote Play "may or may not work" outside of the home.
Sony warns heavily that playing PS4 games on a Vita while on the go requires "a robust and stable Wi-Fi connection and broadband Internet connection," and Sony "strongly recommends" that you use the feature only when the Vita and PS4 are on the same local network. This is pretty different from Sony's marketing messages, which show happy, bright-eyed young people easily accessing Remote Play without a care as they go about their days.
There's no system level support for USB or Bluetooth mice
This isn't that surprising, but it was still interesting to see it directly addressed. USB and Bluetooth keyboards will work, though, and "certain games" may support mouse control, Sony says.

Kurt Eichenwald and Ari Fleischer go head-to-head in a heated debate over whether the Bush administration ignored intelligence before the Sept. 11 attacks.
The problem with these kind of debates, since they are short, is that we don't diddle on facts. Mr. Fleischer, whom credibility is questionable on the matter, simply throws out the whole article without stating which part. Even if he was right, I don't know how he can prove it. I haven't read the 9-11 commission report or this guys NYT article, so I am at a disadvantage.
The fact that Ari – blindly name calls him a 'truther' does not help him. I do understand the difficulty in having to shoot down conspiracies, see birthers. I just wish we had links to more information instead of listening to these 2 guys bicker back and forth.
I am a proud Independent, but if I was a Democrat I would keep my mouth shut and let Mr. Fleischer speak. He is doing as good a job as he can to lose this election for the Republican party. Almost everything that comes out of his mouth is negative and in some cases not true. He is the perfect example of why we can't get anything done in Washington. To disregard what someone says because they don't belong to your party is ridiculous and shouldn't be allowed. Not all Democrats and Republicans are wrong all of the time. Mr. Fleischer and others like him should not have a world wide platform to speak their minds.
Maybe if people could look at issues from a common sense view and not a partisan view we could get some business done to help the country.
Mr. Blanton, your treatment at the memorial was disgraceful. I hope you have not been treated like this all of the time. Your service should be applauded and saluted.
Everyone wants to quote the 9/11 Commision Report as gospile to explaine what happened on that day. Unfotunatly when you spend more money impeaching Bill Clinton the you do on the Commision that is investigating the worst terror attack in the history of our country then we have a major problem. The investigation was handled poorly, underfunded and was a insault to the American people along with those who lost family and friends on 9/11. A new investigation needs to be done and it needs to be done right in order to put any doubt to rest in regurds to who knew what and when they knew it, along with why there was so many failures in communication that occured
Thank you, Eichenwald! Someone defending actual journalism. What is it about Republican messengers, that they demand everything be funneled through a PR or Business person's perspective? They do this to Scientists, Doctors, Social Workers, Teachers - they demand that everything be defined, every drop of information and human experience, solely on their terms and cleared by them, first, before it becomes our shared reality.
Maybe if Republicans respected other people, more, they would see the value in what different people, with different training, responsibilities and experiences, can bring to the table. You can't PR your way out of everything, even by referring to shoddy sources and resources that bear fancy names (i.e., "The Heritage Foundation"). Yep, that's a partisan opinion, albeit, not "rabidly" so. I'm partial to anything other than the mendacious stupidity that modern Republicans and their messengers proudly display, while demanding we respect and obey them, without question.
Allowing Ari Fleischer to have any voice in American politics is bad enough, but to allow him a stage on your show, out-and-out-lying, and not answering the one fact that Eichenwald was wrong about, is absolutely the most disgusting thing I have witnessed on CNN in a while...
That's okay: Wolfe B is now allowing war criminal Dan Senor justify Romney's war mongering remarks on Libya.
Ari Fleischer, like the entire Bush Cheney New American Century thugs, should be in prison, not on television telling the world their disgusting view of the world.
Ari Fleischer got destroyed. Seriously destroyed. I think you could put your volume on mute and easily see that
Anderson, I question whether it's exactly balanced to have a PR spokesman for the last administration facing off against Eichenwald instead of someone who was involved in those Presidential briefings or someone who made policy in the Bush administration. It might make for a lively fight, but viewers want facts not showmanship. This is not the Jerry Springer show!
Eichenwald. There is a guy who can argue. He should be teaching everyone to deal with the Hannity boys.
If Ari Fleischer was British, he would now be in charge of a daisy farm.
Nobody in the U.K. would listen to the man who let Bush delay his immediate return to N.Y.C on 9/11,
and fly with the equally cowardlly Cheney over Canadiian borders.
I misquote ,but should you not ride to the sound of the guns .What is disturbing is that Bush became a hero
after this debacle
Regards R.M .Young
I assume this liberal writer also believed the CIA when they told us that Saddam Hussein had WMD.
It is curious that Kurt only chose to write about the Bush years when it came to 9/11, and totally ignored any blame that could be laid at the feet of Bill Clinton and other agencies. It seems this far left author had a political agenda that many in the media are only too happy to let him spew. He should be ashamed that he would release this trash on the very day of 9/11, and that so many in the media have given him face time today.
As Bill Clinton also told us, Saddam Hussein had WMD and would use them one day. (It's interesting how Democrats conveniently forget those words of Bill Clinton).
This segment is an excellent example of the partisan politics we live in today. It is hard to watch. I'd like CNN to use a respected third party fact checker and report back to the viewers what the facts are. This us v them state of American politics embarrasses me as a constituent. I quit watching the partisan channels last year and now occasionnally turn on CNN. I feel that the lack of respect politicians show us as citizens is reason enough for me to show the same lack of respect to them. I recall learning in 3rd grade politics includes a heavy dose of compromise. Obviously that no longer applies. What a joke. Or embarrassment. Pick your adjective. Thank Goodness Football has resumed – an American institution still worthy. And now prognosticators say its shelf life is limited. Oh Boy!!!!!
Can't believe you would have a story like this on on the Anniversary of 9/11! To debate the fact of whether the attacks were "missed", or "aware of" by the Bush Administration is disappointing. How dare you question the intentions, response, or decisions made by the President at that time. People are still trying to process the grief of the horrific day, and you are politicizing it. Anderson had to lead Mr. Eichenweld through most of the interview anyway. When he couldn't wiggle his way out of Ari Fleisher's facts, Anderson would say, "Is what you mean, Mr. Eichenweld,.........?" Unbelievable how far left CNN had gone. It so apparent now it's not worth watching anymore.
Now this is the type of debate lacking on most other news stations. Not only was this informative and entertaining, it kept me glued to the TV and wanting more!!!! Take this as a lesson AC, good debate between credible people that is not arbitrarily scripted or cut-off for sake of a commercial break is the type of entertainment that your "key" demo is looking for. Hope this wasn't a fluke.
Wow, watching Kurt Eichenwald and Ari Fleicher and I have to say that I am deeply offended. I am fiercely independent and without a partisan view here. Mr. Eichenwald's tone and non-specifics only made it appear extremely personal, even more than partisan. Mostly, doing this on 9-11 is simply deeply offensive. Lastly, if you publish something like this, as he has deliberately sought to do, and on this particular day, grow a thicker skin when you go on TV and let someone else talk. What did you expect? Shame on CNN, shame on New York Times. You could have waited a day to let this blowhard partisan expose himself for what he is – a partisan commentator not adding anything but riskier views of that day to people that incredibly, think it was a conspiracy.
I won't be watching this show anymore. Should have cut him off, certainly waited until tomorrow at least. Too bad, I had a high level of respect for Anderson Cooper, if not CNN.
Review your tape and time each speaker. It appears to me that you allowed Ari to filibuster.
The fact that you allowed that conversation to take place is embarassing to all who suffered a loss on 9/11. That was embarassing. Shame on CNN.
Thank you so much for this – it is entirely appropriate to still seek the truth on our behalf on this momentous day – bless you Mr. Eichenwald. I actually feel sorry for Mr. Fleischer that he must still keep up the lies.
Did you know that if you go to the 911 Memorial in New York City you must have reservations. I did not know this and was not allowed to enter the memorial. I as a Veteran pre and post 911 was appalled to know that I as a citizen could be denied access to a national monument. I was however allowed to pay taxes to support and build it.
