Sessions at Open Source Bridge 2010 about Network

Thursday 3rd June 2010

• Your Internets are Leaking

  by Reid Beels and Michael Schwern

  Using FTP, telnet (some of you must still be using telnet), sending mail, surfing gopher, and visiting web sites can all give away personal information and passwords.

  We'll show how easy it is for your traffic to be intercepted (using open source tools) and what you can do to protect yourself (also using open source tools).

  Including such excitement as:
  * Packet sniffers and you
  * The dark and ancient magic of SSL certificates
  * Man/woman in the middle attacks
  * Working around and tunneling through insecure networks
  * Quitting passwords cold turkey with public keys and other tools
  * Charts! Graphs!
  * Public shaming!
  * (and possibly more)

  At 4:45pm to 5:30pm, Thursday 3rd June
