For anyone who doesn't know, rouge is french for red.
The way English speaking people pronounce GENRE annoys me
Seeing how this is posted on the front page...I'm taking my coments from the coffee house post and put it here.
Dude Joe Stagner's in this episode.....he's one of the best security guys I know. Check out his digital black belt series from last year.
From the episode....
"3 million dollars" in a black duffel bag...and that's the level of excitement?!?!? Developers sure are bad actors....but we already knew that.
From the episode.....
Casino manager...."I'm concerned:.....wait you just lost 3 million dollars and your just "concerned"?!?! wow.....poor acting strikes again.
Best line from the whole episode: "can you toss me the cookie"
Lastly....it's called the code room....in this episode I saw very little actual code....actually was this a java app, or a .NET app? I don't even know what Microsoft technologies were profiled, if any?
I hope this isn't a troubling trend for future episodes.
zeo, that .net app btw
how was this a code room? cause they happened to be gathered in a hotel room? and no real description of tools or anything.
this was weak. if i wanted cop drama, i'd turn on the t.v.
The funny thing for me was the style of production. It was done like the kind of 'educational' clips you might see on early morning TV, like at 3 AM, LOL. Hilarious and difficult to take seriously unless you know about the reality of what they were trying to convey.
EXACTLY!!! We did this show this way because talking about security is like talking about 'diet and exercise',
the acting in this one was bad but why is there acting anyway? i thought the code room was more reality based. it was better when you put dev's in a room and gave them a task.
Sure, the screenplay won't win an emmy award. But it was definitely edutainment. And wouldn't you have been more annoyed if they'd used a bunch of know-nothing actors who can't tell a program from a process?
just enjoy the ride.

The link on the page for Australia has absolutely not mention of this kit anywhere.
Can we poor backward folk from DownUnder order a copy, or are we going to be left to hassle our australian MS contacts ?
I'll check into this. I was working with the MS Australia team on this and thought we had it available there.
Sorry for the troubles.
I thought it was very good. Gave me some info that I will watch for in my code. It's too easy to have a script-kiddie coder come in and right a quick web site for a cheap price. One of the first things I was told when I started asking questions was 'Parameterized Queries'!!!
I think when it comes to demos for code, string queries SHOULD BE BANNED. I've seen to many demos where they drop in a SQL string, tie it to an adapter and some controls... and there's the page. I know they are trying to demo how the controls work, but I think security should be part of every demo, even if it's not mentioned. Don't show SQL strings in code, show your demos using parameters.
Yes, the acting was hardly Oscar-winning, but I totally agree that acting is not the point of that episode and highlighting security risks is the point.
I find it amazing how weak the security can be in some big corporations, especially considering the wealth of resources that are out there to help improve the situation. I feel sorry for those companies who have to go through entire system rewrites and not just bug-fixes like the ones in episode 3.
By the way, Jessi Knapp is really attractive!
That was really good I want to see some more videos like that!
Greetings All,
I thought this Episode of The Code Room was very good. I can't say I was at all worried about the acting but all in all, it's the content that matters and in reality, this scenario is real and unfotunately monetary-fueled crime is common nowadays so, in terms of true-to-life concepts, I couldn't have thought of a better plot myself.I thought the addition of Joel Scambray in this Episode was excellent, he is an excellent Security Evangelist, Speaker and Co-Author of many a book on system Security and it was enjoyable to see his expertise being put to work.
I would have appreciated detailed explainations of the techniques being used but overall, I think the Episode is easy to understand and follow regardless of whether you're interested in Security or not, it's user-friendly and if we want to help others and educate
others about Security, then video-based scenarios are ideal.
Alternatively allow them to read "Secrets & Lies" by Bruce Schneier and tell you with a straight face that they are not at all worried about the Security of their home computer. It's an excellent book; I fully recommend it.
Regards,
Scott Sutton
Bravo for the style and presentation.
This episode was good in terms of what its trying to teach to the developer community in terms of security concerns. They have made it quite interesting by taking in picture a real life scenario.
But, second episode was the best one as it also focussed on the team work, some small mistakes they were making while coding...so in all it was giving an actual feel of The Code Room, people in pressure, making mistakes, team behaviour in pressure etc...
and hey, are you able to access thecoderoom.com?? ...me not

I ask the same question "Where is episode 4?"
Great Show, dying to see more.
Its nice to see a informational video with decent quality and set out nice and easy.
When I go to http://www.thecoderoom.com/ I get the error message "This IP address cannot be used for browsing."
Why is it restricted? and to who?
Fixed that for you.
