Announcing, "Unix and Networking Security" Sunday, 12 May, 1991, 9:00AM - 5:00PM California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Sponsored by Cal Poly Student Chapter, ACM Featuring Eugene Spafford Computer security is more than preventing breakins. It also involvs cleaning up after a breakin. CLeanup may involve restoration of the system, finding alterations and changes, determining disclosures, finding the cause of the breakin and fixing it, and initiating legal action. Dr. Spafford will discuss how to prepare for a breakin, and how to go about cleaning up a UNIX system adfter such a breakin has occured. He will include material on common things to check for (backdoors, trojan horses, altered audit logs), and how to determine what needs to be done next. Pete Shipley With the advent of larger numbers of computers connected to networks, both local and internet, the problem of maintaining a secure environment becomes an increasingly larger and more complex job. "NetSweep" is a network security test sweep. The purpose of this system to detect possible security problems on a remote system and generate a written report. The "NetSweep" network security system's design and implementation will be described. Romy Myers AT&T and The Wollongong Group have joined efforts to develop a Secure TCP/IP, called TCP/MLS, to be used on AT&T's B1 rated secure operating system, called MLS UNIX. MLS UNIX provides security by labeling all data on a system with a sensitivity label, restricting users and devices to a clearance range, and recording security relevant information in a security audit trail. This development effort involved changing the current TCP/IP protocol suite to adhere to the security polocies enforced by MLS UNIX as well as the polocies defined by the National Computer Security Center in the Trusted Network Interpretation (Red Book). Cost for the symposium is $25, or $20 for ACM and IEEE members. Members of local student chapters qualify. Attendance is limited, so respond as soon as possible.
