<p>Atlanta, GA - September 12, 2005 - Big Nerd Ranch Announces New<br />
Network Security Bootcamp for Fall, November 7- 11, 2005</p>
<p>Big Nerd Ranch announces the newest addition to its roster of classes,<br />
Network Security Bootcamp, featuring instructor Keith Murphy. The Network<br />
Security Bootcamp is a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to tools and<br />
techniques for maintaining data integrity in a networked environment.</p>
<p>In five days, instructor Keith Murphy will train the student to:</p>
<p>Choose the right encryption algorithm for the job<br />
Perform port scans with nmap and Netcat<br />
Create and implement a routing policy<br />
Set up and use ssh<br />
Sniff packets with Ethereal<br />
Build firewalls using Linux systems<br />
Create Virtual Private Networks<br />
Harden Unix systems<br />
Monitor and log network activity from a single location<br />
Configure and deploy proxy servers<br />
Scan email for spam and viruses<br />
Configure secure web servers with Apache<br />
Protect database servers<br />
Control access to LDAP servers<br />
Create and use digital certificates<br />
Secure wireless access points<br />
Create and monitor honeypots<br />
The Network Security Bootcamp deftly navigates students through the<br />
treacherous waters of network security. This course will ensure that<br />
you are well versed in all of the network security fundamentals and<br />
empower you with the most up-to-date skills such as: TCP/IP, password<br />
security, firewalls/VPNs and proxy servers, and being able to<br />
recognize the many ways in which a hacker could penetrate your<br />
network. Although the course is technical and hands-on, each task is<br />
modeled after a set of twelve basic security principles.</p>
<p>Whenever possible, the Network Security Bootcamp uses Open Source tools.<br />
Besides the huge cost savings, we have found that using Open Source<br />
solutions results in the the most powerful and flexible toolkit for the<br />
network security professional.</p>
<p>"At a time when a large part of any business's assets are digital, I'm<br />
constantly alarmed by how insecure most networks are," said Aaron<br />
Hillegass, Big Nerd Ranch founder. "The problem is primarily ignorance. By<br />
understanding the most advanced security tools available (both barriers and<br />
weapons), a business can radically change the risk that it faces in a<br />
networked world. Most network administrators are embarrassed to admit that<br />
their security knowledge is out-of-date, but without taking a class like<br />
the Network Security Bootcamp, how could a system administrator learn about<br />
the new techniques and tools while still doing the day-to-day tasks that<br />
keep a working network working?"</p>
<p>Keith Murphy has been a system and network administrator for ten years,<br />
primarily working with Linux and Solaris, but also HP-UX, IBM AIX, Windows<br />
NT and 2000. He cut his security teeth when starting and operating a<br />
dial-up Internet Service Provider. Not wanting his company to show up in<br />
the news for all the wrong reasons, he stayed up late and worked hard to<br />
keep the network-crackers at bay. Keith sold the ISP after two years of<br />
successful operation and ZERO intrusions.</p>

OS X programmers in a retreat setting outside Atlanta, GA. Class price of<br />
$3500 includes lodging, all meals, original instruction materials, 24-hour<br />
lab access, and transportation to and from the Atlanta airport. Students<br />

from classmates and individual instructor attention. For more information,<br />
