PLUG Advanced Topics Meeting 
June 18th, 2008 at 7pm - 9pm
Jax Bar 
826 SW 2nd Avenue

Speaker:   Timothy D. Morgan
                 Virtual Security Research, LLC.

Subject: IPv6

IPv6 is the next generation Internet protocol designed to expand usable
address space and implement evolutionary improvements to the current
IPv4 protocol.  As the address space shortage looms near, it is becoming
increasingly clear that the networking and systems communities remain
ill-prepared for this transition.  This talk provides a broad overview
of IPv6, it's features and transition technologies, and follows with a
demonstration of how to set up an IPv6-enabled firewall for a simple
network using Linux.

And a basic BIO:

Timothy D. Morgan is a long-time programmer, systems administrator,
security consultant, and Linux user.  Tim's work in IPv6 has consisted
of home networking experiments and research in utilizing the expanded
IPv6 address space for spoofed attack mitigation.  Tim currently works
as an application security specialist and digital forensic investigator
at Virtual Security Research, LLC.

Remember to buy food and drinks and tip your waitress well.
Jax has been very good to us over the years and we want to make sure they 
survive.
