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.
