FYI - this may be of interest to some of you. Theo's presentations are always worth the time. Non members welcome. There is a small fee for pizza and pop, or you can join CUUG for $50/year. Unfortunately I will be out of town for this one. wgk -----------------------------------------------
CUUG October General Meeting Topic: Exploit Mitigation Techniques CUUG is proud to announce, Calgary's own, Speaker: Theo de Raadt Theo de Raadt (http://www.theos.com/deraadt), is a "kernel hacker, for fun and work" and is the lead developer on the OpenBSD project (http://www.openbsd.org/). He will speak to us about Exploit Mitigation Techniques, a talk that he just gave in Australia and Malaysia. "Exploit Mitigation Techniques are small (normally simple) changes we can make to our operating system to foil the exploitation of program errors. We will never have entirely bug free code, so the goal of these techniques is to make exploitation of many types of bugs extremely difficult, if not impossible. At the same time we ensure that our changes do not break any existing applications." Location: Calgary Public Library Central branch 616 Macleod Tr. S.E.
