[Wylug-announce] Next Meeting - Monday 13th June 2005

[Jim Jackson]

Greetings All,

Thanks to Last months speakers, Felix and Rob.

At Mondays meeting Nick Efford is talking about "Secure Coding for Linux".
I think all sorts of people will find it interesting, as it will explain 
some of the general security issues involved.

There is a small chance there maybe a second talk on security.

Unfortunately I have no talks for July 11th, and as I'm away for 2 weeks,
I suggest any potential speakers volunteer by email to wylug-discuss
and thrash it out by email if there are too many of you (yeah - likely :-)

I am away on holiday next week, so Mark Conmy will be your host and MC.

all the best
Jim

                          -----------------------
                                Nick Efford
                  School of Computing, University of Leeds

        Nick will explore the security consequences of various types of
    programming errors made by those developing on Linux and other systems.
     Ways of avoiding such mistakes will be discussed, and I will consider
     some of the protective technologies currently available for Linux. The
    talk will be illustrated with live demonstrations of attack techniques.

    Nick teaches software engineering and computer security to students in
    the School of Computing at the University of Leeds. He has a particular
    interest in secure programming techniques and the security features of
              modern platforms such as Java and .NET/Mono.
