Hi all, The topic of Monday's (3/5) lecture is:
How to protect your home/office network? Using IPTables and building a firewall - background, motivation and concepts Lecture slides are available at http://www.haifux.org/lectures/98-sil/IPTablesPresentation.pdf and in a sxi (OpenOffice) format: http://www.haifux.org/lectures/98-sil/IPTablesPresentation.sxi The lecture will deal with some background - what happens inside your computer even when you just don't "do anything". What are the risks in not securing your home/network computer(s); how anybody can easily gather information regarding your computer; firewalls, and especially packet filtering ones; how they work (basically); filtering specifications (how to use iptables), and an example in the end. I tried to put a great effort to insert "motivation" into the slides, so people will start to take care more about their home and office computer security, yet they will not be afraid to try new things, in case they have not done so. At least, this is what I'll try to achieve from my lecture and the slides. This is a SiL lecture, which means that it doesn't require prior knowledge in security, and tries to show in a friendly way, why it is good to be (a bit) paranoid regarding your home/office network security. However, it is also good for people who are using IPtables, since this lecture tries to make some order with the (many) options that are out there, with a simple explanation (I hope :). The lecture will take place in lecture room 3 in the Technion's computer science building (Taub) at 18:30, on Monday (3/5/2004). For more details, see http://www.haifux.org I hope to see you all in my lecture. Best regards, Adir. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
