San Jose State University presents Securing Unix/Linux A SANS Institute Training Event Monday, June 25th through Saturday, June 30th, 2007 Price: $1,400 for course and daily lunch/ $1,750 for course, lunch and lodging. To register for this event go to www.sjsu.edu/sans SJSU is hosting this discounted training event for government employees only. Typically this exact course would cost $3,245 per person. It will be held at the SJSU Event Center. Course Description: Experience in-depth coverage of Unix security issues. Examine how to mitigate or eliminate general problems that apply to all Unix-like operating systems including vulnerabilities in the password authentication system, file system, virtual memory system, and in common network protocols such as NFS, NIS, and the Unix RPC mechanism. Learn the exact steps necessary to secure the two most common Unix flavors-- Solaris and Linux-- and get specific advice for securing some of the most common Internet services on the Unix platform, including Apache, WU-FTPD, Sendmail, and BIND. Throughout this course, you will become skilled at utilizing freely available tools to handle security issues, including SSH, AIDE, sudo, lsof, and many others. SANS' practical approach with "hands-on" exercises every day ensures that you can start using these tools as soon as you return to work. We will also put these tools to work in a special section that covers simple Forensic techniques for investigating compromised systems. Sample topics include: Network-Based Attacks, Memory Attacks, Buffer Overflows, File System Attacks, Race Conditions, Trojan Horse Programs and Rootkits, Monitoring and Alerting Tools, Network Security Tools, SSH for Secure Administration, Forensic Investigation, Unix Logging and Kernel-Level Auditing, Network Time Protocol, Constructing Secure Solaris and Linux Hosts and Secure Configuration of BIND, Sendmail, Apache. GIAC certification costs are not included in this event. For GIAC certification, go to http://www.giac.org/certifications/ For questions, contact Susan Kintana at (408)924-2328.
