From announce at lists.nycbug.org Mon Apr 6 11:22:13 2015 From: announce at lists.nycbug.org (NYC*BUG Announcements) Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:22:13 -0400 Subject: [announce] NYC*BUG: April 8 Christos Z on Blacklistd Message-ID: Lots of upcoming meetings planned and set. Blacklistd, Christos Zoulas 18:45, Stone Creek Bar & Lounge 140 E 27th St Abstract Today's systems expose multiple network daemons and are constantly attacked by a fleet of zombie bots or determined attackers. Scanning logs to determine if an attack is in place in order to modify a firewall to block an attack is an ad-hoc inelegant solution. Blacklistd is a daemon and a library interface that attempts to correct this problem. Speaker Bio Christos' first experience with Unix was in 1983 while studying at Cornell. He currently maintains a few Unix programs (file, tcsh, libedit, rdist6) and he contributes to many others. He is a board member of the NetBSD Foundation and a recipient of the Usenix Lifetime Achievement Award for contributions to the Unix operating system. His day job is in Finance. ***** Other Upcoming May 6 - Bitrig, John C Vernaleo June 3 - FreeBSD's NUMA, John Baldwin BSDCan, June 12-13, Ottawa, Canada July 1 - Staying in sync with the Precision Time Protocol, Steven Kreuzer Aug 5 - What's New with OpenBSD, Brian Callahan From announce at lists.nycbug.org Tue Apr 7 11:51:28 2015 From: announce at lists.nycbug.org (NYC*BUG Announcements) Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2015 11:51:28 -0400 Subject: [announce] OPNsense Added to NYC*BUG Mirrors Message-ID: The New York City *BSD User Group (NYC*BUG) is proud to announce mirror hosting for the OPNsense project.

First, NYC*BUG hosts a lot of resources for the broader *BSD community, but we tend to not publicize it widely. A few days ago, we set up a mailing list for a new BUG in Poland. It's the "Subcarpathian BSD Users Group" (Podkarpacka grupa u?ytkownik?w BSD) based in southeast Poland. http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/sbug **** We have a great list of upcoming meetings set for the next few months. May 6 - "Bitrig" John C. Vernaleo June 3 - "FreeBSD's NUMA" John Baldwin ->June 12-13, BSDCan, Ottawa, Canada June 18 - "mandoc: from scratch to the standard BSD documentation toolkit in 6 years" Ingo Schwarze June 19 - social event with Ingo (location TBA) July 1 - "Staying in sync with the Precision Time Protocol" Steven Kreuzer August 5 - "What's New with OpenBSD" Brian Callahan ->October 1-2, EuroBSDCon, Stockholm, Sweden Rumor has it, another vBSDCon is being planned for the fall in Virginia. **** All the NYC*BUG meetings are at Stone Creek, except for the special June 18th meeting with Ingo Schwarze on mandoc. Let us know if you have any good leads. A place without RSVPs and with food/drinks is ideal. The September meeting is looking like it will feature a veteran of the Bell Labs/Bellcore days, whose work continued into Plan 9. It's a meeting we're extremely excited for. NYC*BUG has always emphasized the larger Unix thread that we see the *BSDs as a fundamental part of. **** The video for Christos' Blacklistd meeting is posted at https://youtu.be/0UKCAsezF3Q.
