[olug] Hacking Linux Exposed or Real World Linux Security?

[Brian Wiese]

hrmmm...
They did do that once or twice with the SANS UG here in omaha.
http://www.synaxis.org/around/sansug/

but not lately... our UNO ACM group 'might' be able to set something like
that up in the future.  I know my information assurance professor at UNO,
Dr. Burnham, would like to see something like that... he was trying to get
ahold of some of the 'game engine' software that they use for the capture
the flag (CTF) contest at the Defcon conferences.  (looks like a stock
market ticker, and if youre gettn attacked successfully... your stock
value goes down)
