A local representative of SANS, Mike Pilkington, gave a sample module of his Wireless Security course at our last HLUG meeting. SANS is a group that gives computer administration and security classes nationwide and beyond, and from what I saw, at a high level of technical detail and competence. A highlight of the talk (for me at least) was when he used the venerable BackTrack 3 in the testing of various aspects of the local network. I was quite pleased that he did so noninvasively, so as to prevent anyone official from bursting into the room and demanding an explanation. Video of the talk should show up here before too long. Also, Mike's class, Security 617, is detailed here.
Next Meeting:
On Saturday, May 9 at 2pm at the Hal-PC offices, I'll deliver a demonstration of what I'll style THE WORST LINUX DISTRIBUTION IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE. Airsickness bags will be provided.
