Was there a question this week?

[PaulDotCom - Hi BJ, The questions of the week are only for the regular PaulDotCom Security Weekly show and not for interviews or special editions. Thanks for listening!]

You mentioned some "0wned" books - owning the network or something like that - do you have any more details on the book as I can't find them in the library or amazon.
