hey im hoping to be able to make it for this talk about IPv6. you should deffinetly do it. <br><br>it is a very hot topic atm and has reintroduced some old attacks mainly DOS attacks(these where the main techniques used by lolsec, anonymous and the jester in recent attacks). There are a few ways to defend against all of these on Linux and BSD would be great to hear another local persons take on defending against them. <br>
<br>Macs are safe atm from these it would appear. Microsoft has decided not to patch a POST attack!! they have said they will patch it for windows 8 and server 2012 tho so better rush out and get these on release day lol.<br>
<br>however il shut up now as im sure ul go over all of this<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 4:33 PM, Terry Froy <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tez+lincoln-lug@spilsby.net" target="_blank">tez+lincoln-lug@spilsby.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
My name is Terry and I am the Technical Director/Owner of a local Lincolnshire-based ISP.<br>
<br>
We use Linux almost exclusively in our network and use FreeBSD and OpenBSD where we don't use Linux.<br>
<br>
I have been a personal user of Linux since 1996 with my first distro being Slackware and Red Hat Linux 4.0 primarily because I was still on 14.4k dialup and the only readily-available source of Linux was Lasermoon's CD-ROM compilation of current distros with source archives.<br>
<br>
Since 2004, I have been involved with the operation and running of a small ISP called Spilsby Internet Solutions which was formed out of my frustration through lack of co-location facilities in Lincolnshire and then ADSL/FTTC came later after seeing the current state of the market and a lack of focus on users who are technically competent in such matters.<br>
<br>
Therefore, I would very much like to attend the Lincoln LUG meeting on August 15th and give a talk on IPv6.<br>
<br>
As we have been running a production IPv6 network since 2004, I think I know enough about it from a theoretical and practical sense to be able to answer any questions that anyone may have on the topic.<br>
<br>
The talk would consist of some of the things you need to know about IPv6:<br>
<br>
* What it is.<br>
* Why it won't bite you.<br>
* The questions you should be asking your ISP.<br>
* The security implications of introducing IPv6 to a network<br>
* The 'gotchas' you need to watch out for when configuring a Linux box for IPv6.<br>
<br>
Naturally, I will be around afterwards to partake in refreshments and answer any in-depth questions...<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Terry<br>
