                                 PRESENTATION

                     Adventures in Computer Non-Security

                                      by

                                 David Mandel
                            <dmandel at pdxLinux.org>


      Most system users and administrators aren't security experts
      and don't want to be; but they have to deal with security
      in order to get other things done.  And they have to do this
      within very tight budgets for both in terms of time and money.

      David Mandel fits this situation.

      He has had a number of systems invaded over the years including
      two in the last year.  David will describe a number of techniques
      he uses and/or recommends to protect systems and data on
      the systems; and where these techniques have worked and where
      they have failed.  He will also discuss tools that have proven
      useful in examining invasions and repairing the damage.

      *******************************************************************
