TAG Security SIG April Meeting at LinuxFestNW: The Next Stage in Linux IDS - Prelude-IDS and Audit
Please join us at LinuxFestNW on Saturday, April 25th, as Gary Smith of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory presents "The Next Stage in Linux IDS - Prelude-IDS and Auditd". Last year at LinuxFestNW, Gary presented a paper on a Linux host intrusion detection system (HIDS). In that paper, he alluded to the next stage in HIDS based on Prelude-IDS and Auditd. Well, the stage has arrived! This paper explains the benefits of Prelude-IDS and Auditd and why this next stage leaves the old one at the depot.
When: Saturday, April 25th, 11:00am-11:45am
At noon, the Bellingham Technical College Culinary Arts Chef's Club will once again serve its traditional salmon BBQ lunch for $8. All proceeds benefit the Chef's Club.
Where: 10th Annual LinuxFestNW 2009
Bellingham Technical College, Haskell Building, Room 204
3028 Lindbergh Avenue
Bellingham, WA 98225
About the Presenter:
Gary Smith started out his professional career as a chemist/materials engineer. His start down the Dark Side of Computing began when he wrote a program to design an optimal extruder screw rather than face thousands of calculations with a slide rule (yes, a slide rule.) Since then, he's a lot of different things in computing: microprocessor cross assemblers and simulators, disk device drivers, communication device drivers, TCP/IP hacking and multi-threaded printer spoolers. Around 1993, Gary started doing computer security when the semiconductor company we was working for was forced to get on the Internet to send/receive IC designs faster and a firewall/Internet gateway was needed. Since then, Gary's been involved in firewalls, intrusion detection and analysis, vulnerability assessments, system and application hardening, and anti-spam filters. Gary really does computer security to support his bicycling habit. He has more bikes than most other people have computers. And they're a lot more expensive. Gary says "Bikes are like computers: both can crash, sometimes with disastrous results to the user."
About LinuxFestNW:
If you are involved or curious to learn more about open source technologies, check out the Bellingham Linux Users Group. BLUG is an independent group that meets monthly to discuss various open source technologies. For more information contact Carl Symons. BLUG organizes the annual LinuxfestNW. Linux user groups from across the Pacific Northwest come together at LinuxFestNW the fourth weekend of April each year at the Bellingham Technical College in Bellingham WA. The event is free and open to the public. This year, BLUG and Technology Alliance Group (TAG) Security Special Interest Group (SIG) are co-promoting the security program at LinuxFestNW. For more details go to the LinuxFestNW website.
About TAG's Security SIG:
TAG's special interest group (SIG) on Security is targeted to people that are interested in advancing their knowledge about information technology security. Special Interest Groups (SIGs) meet to discuss a common interest in a particular topic. SIGs provide excellent opportunities for developing and maintaining professional contacts, promoting industry awareness and extending the technical knowledge of members. SIG meetings are free and open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
For questions on the TAG Security SIG, contact Security SIG leader Bart Pestarino.
