Advanced Wireless Networks Workshop: The State of Wireless 2007
- Bill Wiecking

Wireless networking is about to undergo major changes, with 802.11n, or Airport Extreme X2 and X4. Starting with the basics of wireless networks, we will show how to design, deploy and test wireless networks using both current 802.11 flavors then expanding to the next generation: 802.11n. Comprehensive security tools will be explained and demonstrated hands-on, with samples of the latest security tools implemented: WPA2, RADIUS, 802.1X and the tools hackers use to intercept wireless networks. Extreme wireless will take this to the limit, demonstrating amplifier and antenna uses for your network, and the implications 802.11n will have on your present network, as well as what it will enable us to do beyond present solutions.

Audience
  • CIO, CTO
  • IT Manager, Administrator, Executive
  • Network Manager, Administrator, Technician
  • Member of Technical Staff
  • Apple Consultant
  • Consultant
  • Lab Manager, Administrator, Technician
  • Small office/home office (SOHO) user
  • Campus user
  • Business user
Prerequisites:

Familiarity with basic networking terms is desirable but not necessary as well will cover wireless networking from basics to advanced. Participants bringing their own laptops will be able to use them to test out the various wireless tools and techniques. We will provide a CD as well as a resource website with all the tools you will need to become a wireless guru.

    Extreme OS X Administration: Developing Advanced Automation Workflows
    - Scott Neal

    You image multiple computers, you fix Directory Services problems, you proactively ensure that your machines are secure... Now it is time to step up into workflow automation! In this session, you will go deeper into OS X, learning how to automate your flow with programs and scripts, WITHOUT becoming a full-blown programmer or scripter (who has the time?). Programmers get to wield the OS to do repetitive tasks like importing users, auto-configuring new OS installs, creating and deploying packages--why can't you?

    We will first focus on Property Lists, the Defaults Preferences system, and launched, the underpinnings to automation. We will then move into Automator, AppleScript, and shell scripting. At the end of day 1, we will select amongst the class some important real-world workflow problems, and then focus on day 2 with solving those problems. You WILL be able to leave this session with the techniques you need to get started automating.

    Audience:
    • CIO, CTO, IT Managers
    • Apple System Administrators
    • Network Administrators
    • Lab Managers
    • Apple Consultants wishing to deploy such technologies
    Prerequisites:

    Familiarity with the Mac OS X operating system, and a desire to automate tasks using scripts and other techniques-knowledge of scripting or programming is NOT required. UNIX background is suggested but not required. For one of the session, knowledge of HTML is also suggested but not required.

    Introduction to Macintosh Forensics
    - Derrick Donnelly

    Have you ever had a rogue employee leave shortly with all the data on your Macs? Does it look like your employees spend more time on eBay and MySpace than on the company business plan on budgets? Do you think an employee might be doing something illegal on your company computer systems? You might need to do some analysis on those systems in question, but first you need to properly handle data on the systems that might be used in some form of civil or criminal litigation. Learn how to properly preserve data from a hard drive, not contaminating potential evidence and performing basic analysis on Internet activity, e-mail communications, log analysis and timeline reconstructions of computer events.

  • Prepare a Mac to be Forensically sound
  • Build a toolkit of of applications and techniques for computer forensic analysis
  • Learn to properly image a computer hard so the evidence can be used in a court of law
  • Practice building custom systems and partitions for data acquisition
  • Get familiar working with the .dmg image format, master open source imaging and analysis tools
  • See where evidence is usually stored on a Mac
  • Learn about all those little logs and plists that may tell you what the user was doing with their computer
