The Tel Aviv Univeristy Security Forum - meeting #6 -19/12/04

[Gadi Evron <ge () linuxbox org>]

Hello!

The next, non-commercial, technological Security Forum will take place
on Sunday, the 19th of December, 2004, at Tel Aviv University's Lev
Auditorium.

112 people came to our last meeting on the 17th of October. The air
conditioner worked well, but it wasn't cold enough (at least for me
personally).

Schedule
--------
17:45 - Gathering - hot and cold drinks will be served.

18:00 - Golan Brener, Director - B.GRG LTD.
  Lecture: Wireless hacking & technology.
  Level: Technological. There will be a discussion of protocols and
         techniques.

  Golan will discuss different wireless protocols, their weaknesses,
  implementations and ways of protecting and breaking them.

  There will be wireless hacking demonstrations, but the bulk of the
  lecture will be about the technology itself - and not necessarily just
  the protocols and/or vulnerabilities we are all familiar with.

19:20 - We will break for a short recess, as well as for
  refreshments and networking between members - hot and cold
  drinks will be served.

19:40 - Ofir Liber, adv. Information Security Dept. Manager, Internet
  Zahav.
  Lecture: The Trojan horse defense.
  Level: This lecture will be suited for all levels.

  In his lecture, Ofir will discuss the legal defense known as "the
  Trojan horse defense". I.e., "I didn't do it! It was the evil hacker
  who broke into my PC!".

  Ofir will provide with a general overview, legal issues, defending and
  prosecuting with that pretense, is it even viable? etc.

Hot and cold drinks will be freely available.

Attendance is free.

Who we are
----------
The Security Forum, hosted by the Tel Aviv University, started when a
few of us talked about there being an (almost) complete lack of
professional and social events on security in Israel which are not
completely commercial and about "sticking products down out throats".

We decided to do instead of complain, and here we are.

In previous meetings we had over a hundred arrivals, varying from
soldiers and students, through programmers and government CSO's, all the
way to CEO's and CTO's of different companies, banks and other
institutions. Some have been part of our community since the 70's and
some are just people who are interested in the subject.

Have a good week,

        Gadi Evron.
