[This show is sponsored by The Pragmatic Studio. The Pragmatic Studio has been teaching iOS development since November of 2008. They have a 4-day hands-on course where you'll learn all the tools, APIs, and techniques to build iOS Apps with confidence and understand how all the pieces work together. They have two courses coming up: the first one is in July, from the 22nd - 25th, in Western Virginia, and you can get early registration up through June 21st; you can also sign up for their August course, and that's August 26th - 29th in Denver, Colorado, and you can get early registration through July 26th.

CHUCK: Hey everybody and welcome to Episode 16 of the iPhreaks Show! This week on our panel, we have Andrew Madsen.

ANDREW: Hi from Salt Lake City!

CHUCK: Pete Hodgson.

PETE: Hello from San Francisco where BART is not striking here.

BEN: [Chuckles]

CHUCK: Where what is not striking?

BEN: BART.

CHUCK: BART.

PETE: Bay Area Rapid Transit.

CHUCK: Rod!

ROD: Hello from Salt Lake City!

CHUCK: And we also have Ben Scheirman.

BEN: Hello from Houston where it's 180 degrees!

[Laughter]

CHUCK: I'm Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. Real quickly, one of the reasons that I do this show is so that I can get work. So if you need backend work for your iPhone application and you're interested in using Ruby on Rails, I am available for hire!

Alright, well let's get to the show! This week, we were talking about and having a discussion on the "Apple Developer Portal", when it's working.

[Chuckles]

ANDREW: Which is, sort of mostly right now.

BEN: Yeah. We'll be back soon [laughs].

CHUCK: Yup.

PETE: Except not soon.

[Laughter]

PETE: For some definition to see.

CHUCK: Yeah.

ANDREW: Oh, man!

BEN: Yeah. They have a very loose definition of soon, I think.

PETE: [Chuckles]

BEN: Do we want to start off by just talking about what happened there? I don't know if anybody has any like behind the scenes info on the portal being down, but from what I heard, they detected some sort of hack attempt. And then shortly there after, this, I think he was an Israeli hacker, or I shouldn't say hacker, security researcher, came out and said --

CHUCK: [Laughs]

BEN: "I successfully exploited this thing, and I told you about it and filed a radar. I just wanted to see how deep it went," so he pulled out, I don't remember how many users' contact info from the Dev Portal, and he posted a little screencast on the type of data he got and the level. I don't know if that -- they seem to be related because it was like around the exact same time.
