Presentation on Computer Security by Chris Adams
Intrustion detection systems (IDS) detect intrusions by monitoring all network traffic. They can capture and signal alerts when a user-defined, rule-based "intrusion signature" occurs. The tutorial will cover setting up a low-cost IDS device for the home or office.
SNORT is a portable and widely adopted open source IDS that "combines the benefits of signature, protocol and anomaly based inspection methods". The presentation introduces installing SNORT on Debian GNU/Linux using Apache, PHP and MySQL to make managing the system as easy as using a Web site.
Chris Adams works in a PHP/MySQL development shop in Burlington, Vermont. He previously lived in Florida where he worked as a computer consultant in the Tampa Bay region. He lives with his wife and young daughter whose birthday was on October 12.

Directions and Parking
The Waterman Building is on the corner of Prospect and College streets. UVM Visitor parking is located across College street. The parking attendant's work shift usually ends by late afternoon, so parking fees should be avoidable. Parking, including handicap parking, is also available directly behind and to the north of the building. This lot is permit-only employee parking. It allows other permit passes after 6:00pm. Experience has it that tickets aren't issued after this time, but UVM is always looking for fundraiser ideas for all the campus construction.
The south entrance of the building on College street has wheelchair access. The building's public elevator is at the center of the building.
Memorial Lounge (room 338) is on the third floor of the building. Entering from the parking lot and College street entrances, the third floor is one floor up from ground level. Doors at the front of the building, facing Prospect street, enter to the third floor level.
Memorial lounge is at the middle of the hall, essentially, behind the UVM information desk.
