Instructor: Barbara Fraser |
|
Who should attend? The intended audience of this tutorial includes system and network administrators at Internet sites as well as individuals from sites that are in the process of connecting to the Internet. The tutorial is especially pertinent to individuals from organizations who are, or who are planning to become, Internet service providers since the security of their organization’s infrastructure may affect the security of their customers. |
|
Description: The CERT Coordination Center has handled thousands of computer security incidents within the Internet community since its creation in 1988. During that period of time, we have identified many essential computer security issues relevant to people trying to secure their information infrastructures.The main objective of this tutorial is to help system and network administrators understand what needs to be done to ensure that their computer systems and networks are as securely configured as possible when operating within the Internet community. |
|
Topics will include:
|
|
After completing this tutorial: Attendees will have a greater understanding of the possible security threats, policies, techniques, and technologies, which can address those threats, and ways in which to respond to security incidents. |
|
Instructor: Paul Vixie |
|
Who should attend? System and network administrators responsible for name server installation and maintenance and name server administrators and software developers who need a deeper understanding of the DNS protocol and the internals of BIND. Participants ought to have some familiarity with UNIX, Internet addressing, TCP, UDP and should be able to recognize C code when they see it (which they will). |
|
Description: This tutorial will teach you everything you need to know to install a new name server or to maintain an existing one and will survey the DNS protocol. In addition, upcoming extensions to both DNS and BIND will be discussed and implementation issues in BIND will be examined. |
|
Topics will include:
|
|
After completing this tutorial: Participants will be qualified to act as “HOSTMASTER” for their sites, to allocate host names and addresses, to determine an appropriate sub-domain naming convention, design and implement a server topology and will know what the IETF has been up to lately and what to expect in upcoming BIND releases. |
|
Instructor: Scott Bradner |
|
Who should attend? This tutorial is intended for network engineers and software developers interested in learning about IPv6 in depth. |
|
Description: IP Version 6 is the planned successor to the current version of IP running on today’s Internet. This tutorial will explain the status of work on IPV6, how it compares with current protocols, the problems it solves, and the challenges still to be faced. |
|
Topics will include:
|
|
|
After completing this tutorial: Attendees will have a thorough understanding of the issues involved in the development of IPv6, the IPv6 architecture, and the current status of IPv6. |
|
Instructor: Gene Deutsch |
|
Who should attend? Network administrators and engineers contemplating the use of IP and ATM technologies separately or together. |
|
Description: This course surveys each of the technologies, characterizes their strengths and weaknesses, and explains the various ways IP and ATM can be integrated. ATM is discussed as a both a conceptual long-term approach to internetworking and an emerging short-term approach that uses standards specified by the ITU, ATM forum, IETF, and other standards bodies. IP version 4 is currently the defining technology for internetworking and the global Internet; the proposed next generation, version 6, adds additional functionality. The course considers ways that IPv4 is being used with ATM. It analyzes tradeoffs, and shows situations in which each combination is appropriate. The course examines the likely future as IP evolves to version 6, as more of the ATM promise is realized, and as alternative technologies such as Fast Ethernet and direct access to SONET evolve. The course does not have any prerequisites. |
|
Topics will include:
|
After completing this tutorial:
Attendees will have an understanding of ATM technologies, the techniques used to transmit IP based traffic over it, and the current and likely future
state of ATM deployment.
|
Instructor: Hugh Irvine |
|
Who should attend? Individuals responsible for designing, implementing and managing the routing system for a large or Internet connected network. Pre-requisites: basic knowledge of TCP/IP and routing. |
|
Description: This tutorial will cover the fundamentals of IP addresses and IP address reachability. Topics addressed will include classfull and classless IP addresses, routing theory, basic routing using static addresses, principles of dynamic routing, distance-vector and link-state protocols, and interior and exterior routing protocols. |
|
Topics will include:
|
|
After completing this tutorial: Attendees will be able to design, deploy, and manage the routing of a medium scale network |
|
Instructor: Evi Nemeth |
Who should attend?
System and network administrators interested in learning the latest tools and techniques for managing Unix systems.
|
Description: System Administration Power Tools - Often times, system administrators are caught saying "if only I had time to learn how to use that nifty new program". Unfortunately, system administrators usually do so much firefighting that they don't have time to stop and try out the new administration tools. In this overview of readily-available UNIX system administration power tools, we'll discuss packages that are likely to save you time and are free. |
Topics will include:
- Discover features and usage of programs like flexfax(1), rc.config(5), addhost(8), amanda(8), adduser(8), sudo(8), glimpse(1), patch(1), cksendml(8), majordomo(8), top(1), tcpdump(1), and more.
- Intro to expect - Perhaps the greatest system administration tool to come along since PERL, expect(1) is a high-powered interpreted dialogue language which can act like your hands on the keyboard to perform tricky tasks while you're away, asleep or at play. We'll talk about the basic constructs of the language and write some sample programs.
- Syslog - Writing your programs so that they exploit the network-oriented logging protocol can greatly ease debugging and site maintenance. Modern BSD syslog includes facilities for forwarding selective error and debugging information to one or more other hosts. This section discusses how to configure a central syslog host for your network to assist SA's in monitoring the status of a variety of machines simultaneously.
|
After completing this tutorial: Attendees will be able to manage small to medium scale networks of Unix systems. |
Instructor: Bob Berger, Andrew Khoo, Butch Anton, Sam Ramadan
Who should attend?
Operators and architects of current and future Internet technology based networks.
Description:
The Internet is still very young. It promises to continue to grow and assimilate legacy WANs and application services as well as be the breeding grounds for entirely new services, marketplaces and industries. This tutorial will cover trends and developments in high bandwidth network infrastructure, high volume server farms and Value Added services that are being deployed in the US.
Topics will include:
Scalable Dedicated Access Services using xDSL, T1/E1, T3/E3, Frame Relay ATM and Gigabit Routing Core Backbone Infrastructure that can support high growth, next generation dedicated access services (with frame relay, ATM and POS over T3/E3 and SDH/SONET backbones)
- Integrating Voice over IP into ISP infrastructure
- Next Generation Transparent Caching, Special Purpose Proxy Servers, Web Replication and ServerFarm architectures that help you improve performance to customers and reduce load on your WAN/Backbone networks
- How to incorporate International Roaming Services into your service offerings
- Value Added Services integration and billing.
After completing this tutorial:
Attendees will have been exposed to the techniques and technologies used to scale the provision of Internet services as the demands for those services grow.
