SUMMARY:Boston Red Hat March Meetup\, Security Edition #1 - Stack Magic Exp
 lained
DESCRIPTION:The Boston Red Hat Meetup Group\n\nHi Guys\,\nI've come up with
  a new angle for the meetup this month. People really want in-depth technol
 ogy presentations - to learn things.  So you asked for it\, here it is...\n
 \nThe next 5 meetups will focus on running Red Hat systems securely.  Anyon
 e who wants to protect thier network and systems from hackers should find t
 his series very interesting - particularly since the number and frequency o
 f bold-faced attacks on the Internet seems to be on the rise. This will be 
 the first of the series.\n\nFor the March 2 meetup\, I will be presenting a
 nd opening a discussion on the famous Phrack article called "SMASHING THE S
 TACK FOR FUN AND PROFIT"\, by Aleph One. If you haven't read the article\, 
 it's here:\n\nhttp://www.insecure.org/stf/smashstack.txt\n\nBackground: Phr
 ack is an online\, underground magazine written by hackers. The article exp
 lains how buffer overflow attacks are performed at a low level. These attac
 ks are commonly used to break into computer systems - and if you've been ru
 nning Red Hat in the public for awhile\, you've been hacked.  (No. I really
  think I can make that statement \;)). \n\nPlease scan the article before y
 ou arrive. (WARNING: The topic could be dry\, or "low level" for some\, but
  beers after should help.) The meetup will be at the Neptune office\, run e
 xactly 6-7:15\, with beers after at a Davis Square pub.\n\nIf you host anyt
 hing on a public IP and want to protect yourself from these attacks\, you n
 eed to understand how these attacks are done. This stuff can really appear 
 to be magic - still does to me.  My presentation will cover the article - s
 o that you don't have to pour through every detail - and with a few real-wo
 rld bits thrown in. Then I'm going to ask the audience a few questions\, be
 cause I still don't understand assembly language very well.\n\nSomerville\,
