Forwarded From: The SANS Institute <sansat_private> The SANS institute Invites you to participate next Tuesday in a pair of free web broadcasts on Intrusion Detection. You don't have to leave your office or home, but you must register in advance to receive the user name and password. You can listen to both presentations or just one of them. Date: Tuesday June 1, 1999 Time: 1 pm EDT, 12 noon, CDT, 11 am MDT, 10 am PDT, 5 pm GMT FIRST HOUR: What The Attackers Know About You, Part Five: Watching An Attacker At Work SECOND HOUR: The first SANS ToolTalk: How To use TripWire Effectively This month's expanded Web Briefing offers a unique and fascinating opportunity to watch over the shoulder of an attacker as he prepares a compromised system to be used to launch attacks on other computers on the Internet. Stephen Northcutt (author of the new "Incident Response, An Analyst's Handbook") will show you how the attacker worked, the phases and process he used, the complexity of the process, and what to look for when monitoring for attackers. He'll also give you additional real-world information to help educate your managers on why even systems that do not hold critical data need to have protection. The attack is real, recorded during Christmas of 1998. In the second hour of this month's briefing, SANS first ToolTalk will help you conquer the challenges involved in deploying TripWire to instrument your important systems to ensure that no critical files have been altered. Many errors are too easily made in using this important and popular tool; this briefing will help you learn the lessons of the pioneers. [Note from Rob: As prep for Tuesday, I've just listened in on the tapes. Stephen's talk taking one through the wanderings of the attacker is absolutely fascinating!] Register today; there's no cost: http://www.sans.org/jun1.htm Just fill in your e-mail address if you're already on this mailing list.
