clarified shuffling
Feb 6, 2015 at 23:46 comment added amoeba @Jeromy, you are absolutely right about the confidence interval on the difference. In fact, I had the bootstrapping part written in my answer all this time, until I edited it out yesterday when reviewing this thread. As you mentioned it now, I have returned the bootstrapping back in right now (and also reformatted the answer a bit). Take a look.

edited the bootstrapping bit back in
Feb 6, 2015 at 23:38 comment added Jeromy Anglim The permutation test seems like a reasonable way of testing the null hypothesis. My default would probably be to try a bootstrapping approach instead where you sample with replacement. I think the benefit of a bootstrapping approach would be that you'd also get a confidence interval on the size of the difference between the two variances. My sense is that you wouldn't get that with the permutation approach.
