Presentation:  Social Engineering Attacks

Speaker:  Kevin Fenzi <kevin at scrye.com>

Abstract: A computer network is only as secure as it's weakest link.
          More and more that link is becoming the natural tendency to
          trust others that we all have. In this talk I will go over
          how social engineering attacks against your networks work,
          and what you can do to reduce your exposure to them.

Demo Speaker: Rob Riggs <RRiggs at doubleclick.net>

Demo:     configuring the PAM console module, which is used to manage
          device ownership & permissions so that the console user has
          access to the various devices on a workstation.

Driving directions (from the Dark Horse):
         * Go west on Baseline and turn right on Broadway.
         * Turn right on Regent Drive.
         * Take the first right that is not a parking lot. This is
           before you get to the pedestrian crosswalk and the
           Planetarium.
         * Go straight until you get to the parking lot. Parking is
           free after 5:00.  Tennis courts will be to the northeast.
           You'll be very close to the intersection of Baseline and
           Broadway.
         * The building will be directly to the north, enter through
           the door on the right. Follow the penguins.
         * The room is on the left side of the hallway as you go
           straight in.
