iii) WEB BRIEFING: March 2, 1999 This note announces the March 2 SANS web-based briefing on security: ``What the Hackers Know About Your Site, III''. For one hour, Rob Kolstad and Steven Northcutt will interview H. D. Moore (developer of nlog, the database interface to nmap) and John Green, member of the Shadow Intrusion Detection Team (John discovered the multi-national attack reported by CNN and ABC). As with all SANS web-based briefings, you don't have to leave your office or home, and can tap in at any time 24 hours a day (though only at the time below will the presentation be live!). Participants during the live briefing can e-mail questions to be answered during the broadcast (time permitting, of course). When: Tuesday, March 2, 1999 (and later for `reruns') 10 am Pacific Time, 11 am Mountain, noon Central, 1 pm Eastern, 18:00 GMT Duration: 60 minutes Cost: Free How: Register at http://www.sans.org/mar2.htm The website should reply within a minute or two with some background literature from our sponsor and the URL and password for the free broadcast. If you don't get a reply, please let me know at <sans () clark net>. Feel free to share this announcement with any potentially interested parties. ====================================================================== During my 20-minute spot, I plan on covering the how the different types of nmap scans work, a tidbit on OS identification, database integration, log data interpretation, as well as discussing some of the more 'white hat' uses of nmap. This is a perfect opportunity for those not too familiar with the different nmap options to a better understanding of how versatile this tool really is. If anyone would like to contribute some ideas, share their experiences with using nmap as a 'defensive tool', or have anything else they want to add to the presentation, email be back ASAP. -HD
