Segment Two- Hack Our guest– Very Secure
Servers using Adaptive Firewall alternatives

Tonight on the show we will be joined by Bob
Toxen
of Fly-By-Day Consulting, Inc. The focus will be
adaptive firewalls. This is a continuation of a show that started
on December 17th, continued on January 7th and hopefully will
conclude tonight.

As a part of this segment, we will also be issuing a challenge
to Bob to let us hack his server as a test. Come by at show start
and join us as we launch a Hack Attack. We will
even hand out prizes if you can hack their server, including a copy
of BRU 17.0 Desktop edition.
Listen to the show for details on the Hack
Attack
.

Bob’s company specializes in building inexpensive Linux-based
Adaptive Firewalls with Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) and
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for mixed-OS networks. Their
Cracker Trap (TM) Adaptive Firewall detects
cracker attacks and probes automatically and lock them out
(hopefully) permanently and before they can do any damage.

Bob also bring to this conversation the credential as the author
of Real World Linux
Security, 2nd edition
, which was just published this past
October.
