Connect At The Louisville Geek Dinner: A Tech Community Gathering

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

The purpose of this site is to organize a social networking event for geeks in Louisville and surrounding areas. The geek dinner concept came from listening to London Geek Dinner podcasts. London Geek Dinners have attracted crowds over 175. Hopefully we can pull strong numbers in Louisville. Who is invited, and what does it mean to be a geek? Wikipedia defines geek as the following, "a person who is fascinated, perhaps obsessively, by obscure or very specific areas of knowledge and imagination." The simple fact is that we love technology. We need a social event where everyone speaks our language for a change. All geeks are invited. Please encourage your geek friends to Signup. The best way to ensure that you will have a good time is to invite other geeks that you know.

Call for Papers: New Security Paradigms Workshop Insights

NSPW is a unique workshop that is devoted to the critical examination of new paradigms in security. Each year, since 1995, we examine proposals for new principles upon which information security can be rebuilt from the ground up. We conduct extensive, highly interactive discussions of these proposals, from which we hope both the audience and the authors emerge with a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of what has been discussed.

Analysis Of CERT Report On Linux Vulnerabilities Tallying Issues

Linux supporters have roundly criticized a recent report from the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT), which reported that during 2005, Linux and Unix combined had 2,328 vulnerabilities, compared with 812 vulnerabilities for Microsoft Windows. Linux practitioners say the counts are skewed because they count the same vulnerability each time it appeared last year in any given Linux distribution. By doing this, they say, one bug could actually show up in the list dozens of times, depending on the number of Linux variants it appeared in. The CERT stats also appear to include problems with scripting languages such as PHP or even applications that are not part of the core Linux operating system but instead are used with it.

Comprehending Hacking Techniques For Effective Security Design

The term "Hacker" describes "one who creatively overcomes obstacles". Today in the digital age, this term has been shrouded with mystery, confusion and misconceptions. How can one expect to defend a stronghold, without first understanding the methods and methodologies of attack? How can one expect to design, implement and defend an architecture, without a deep understanding of a hackers' frame of mind? These are basic questions every Technical Security Designer and Coordinator should ask.

Cisco, Symantec, Qualys: New Grading System For Patching Security Flaws

A joint system for reporting and grading security vulnerabilities is going to be launched today. With an eye to guiding companies on which software problems to patch first, Cisco, Symantec and Qualys plan to launch a joint grading system for security vulnerabilities. The ratings will consist of three numbers, Gerhard Eschelbeck, the chief technology officer at security information provider Qualys said on Tuesday. The first will be a baseline estimate of the severity of the flaw. The second will rate the bug depending on how long it has been around, and therefore how likely it is that companies have patched against it.
