[ILUG] [slightly-OT] OpenBSD lectures in UCD

[David Cathcart]

OT but some people might be interested. 

We're (UCD Internet Society) having a series of lectures by three
members of the OpenBSD development team, Theo de Raadt, Henning Brauer,
Ryan McBride. It will be a gruelling 3hour+ session but there'll
hopefully be a free bar afterwards (we wanted to intersperse the
lectures with beer but couldn't get the proper license). All free to
anyone. Come and heckle if you like. We'll be putting videos online
afterwards. 

Time & Location: 2nd March 6.30 pm Theatre M Arts Block UCD

----Information Follows----
The UCD Internet Society is proud to present a series of public talks by the
people who bring you OpenBSD, OpenSSH, OpenBGPd and OpenNTPd. These guys are
well known around the world for their multiple contributions to the security
and networking domains. Their software is used in products from many high
profile companies, such as Sun Microsystems, IBM, Microsoft and Cisco.

This is a rare chance to get to see their presentations and ask them your own
questions in Ireland. Certainly not to be missed by anybody who has an interest
in networking or security! Tell everyone you know, friends don't let friends
miss an event of this calibre.

The talks are: 
    * Theo de Raadt  - Exploit Mitigation; reducing vulnerabilities to stop
                       crackers in their tracks.
                       
    * Henning Brauer - OpenBGPd; industrial strength routing, pro-actively
                       secure.
                       
    * Ryan McBride   - Network Randomness; predictability is bad, how to reduce
                       it.
                     - PF; highly advanced packet filtering.

The talk will take place in Theatre M in the UCD Arts Block, starting at 18:30
Wednesday the 2nd of March 2005. We will be holding a reception after the talks

The talk is FREE and open to everybody.
