[SGVLUG] UUASC-OC September 2005 Program

[Hershel Remer]

I just forwarded a reminder about tonight's SGVLUG meeting to UUASC, so
turnabout is fair play  :-)

UUASC's Linux security expert Mike Sweeney wrote a book,
http://www.lulu.com/content/91905 , and we thought it would be really cool to
have him speak to us about it.

At the September meeting of UUASC-OC, Mike will share with us his book's
coverage of Linux security in regards to TCP/IP, IPv4, IPv6, routers,
commercial and home brew firewalls, and log files. He will discuss layered
security, the open source security model, and Snort.

Mike plans to demonstrate for us Firestarter, SSH and Bastille. He will bring
copies of "Network Security Using Linux", and after the presentation, Mike
will be available to sell and sign the book for those in attendance.

Mike specializes in network design, troubleshooting, security, and analysis.
His company, Packetattack.com, produces custom training videos and online
product demonstrations. Mike's prior published works include contributing to
"Cisco Specialist Guide to PIX Firewalls", "Building DMZs for Enterprise
Networks", and "Cisco Security Professional's Guide to Secure Intrusion
Detection Systems". He is also a contributing author on the TechRepublic and
TechGuild web sites.
