Security

[Wayne Bow]

YES!

> Wow, the list has been quiet this weekend.

> I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a meeting about linux
> security?  I was thinking we could start the meeting with a short
> class in how to secure a default install (turning off services,
> turning on SSH, enabling firewall).  Do a short class in security
> assessment (how to use NMAP and other tools like NESSUS or SAINT). 
> Finally play a game of "Capture the Flag".  Take the newly secured box
> and a default install and hack into them.  Therefore showing users how
> much harder it is to break into th e secured box than the default
> install.  Maybe we could get some of the 2600 guys to come and help
> out with that portion.

> I have always felt that by actually showing someone that you really
