I could write up an outline of the topics to be covered and put together some simple slides, unless someone already has something put together.  I know Devin just did something on Linux security for ISSA.  I Think we should use Redhat Linux as the lesson since so many people use it and they typically have more exploits than M$.  

Anyone want to give any of these presentations?

1. Intro to Securing Redhat Linux
2. Intro to Redhat Security Assessment
3. Intro to Hacking Redhat 

I can bring a couple systems we can use for the demos and my attack box (OpenBSD with way too many hacking tools) to show people how easy it is for a script kiddie to gain access to their unprotected box, and a 16 port switch for the "Capture the Flag" game.  I could probally teach all of these classes if someone else more qualified won't.  

I was thinking these should be pretty basic and not more than 30 minutes each.  Are any of our 2600 buddies on this list that would be willing and able to talk about "Intro to hacking redhat"?  Devin or anyone, would you do a short class on securing Redhat?  I could then do the Assessment class.

Let me know,
Dusty

PS - I am taking my Olelo classes right now, so I can't do anything immediately.

Sorry about your clothes dude.  I can let you borrow some of my ribon cables and some power cables and about 500 feet of cat5 if you want to weave clothes out of them!!! :)
