However, as with all systems, there are certain considerations to be made when rolling out a HA implementation. This talk will focus on the security considerations when rolling out a BSD HA implementation. The talk will cover the following: * An explanation of the BSD HA environment (CARP, pfsync, sasyncd) * How these components, specifically CARP, function at a lower level * Current and potential attacks against the HA environment, including some demos * Security considerations when rolling out a HA implementation and applicable work-arounds * Ideas on how to improve the security and flexibility of the BSD HA tool suite Speaker Biograpy Sam hails from a small country in the middle of nowhere called New Zealand, where people live in mud huts and rub sticks together to produce fire. When not foraging for berries and miscellaneous woodland creatures, Sam works for Lateral Security as a security consultant (a more CEO-friendly word for hacker) where he breaks into systems for a living. Previous to that, he spent several years in programming and system administration roles. He caught the BSD bug many years ago when his friend enlightened him to the fact that he too could have a solid block cursor at the terminal. * * * May Meeting: The Unix Method of Development Management with William Baxter * * * BSDCan is next month. BSDCan, a BSD conference held in Ottawa, Canada, has quickly established itself as the technical conference for people working on and with 4.4BSD based operating systems and related projects. The organizers have found a fantastic formula that appeals to a wide range of people from extreme novices to advanced developers. You know you`ll like it. BSDCan 2011 will be held on 13-14 May 2011 at University of Ottawa, and will be preceded by two days of Tutorials on 11-12 May 2011.
