*BASE* Topic:*An adventure in starting network "sniffing".* Episode 1 of
a series!
Presenter: Grant Taylor & Lee Lammert
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sluug.org/bio/Lee_Lammert&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw1zJdyS9F6qtGRX3OETuxUW>
Just starting to "sniff" to see what is going on at that network
interface?
Is it: ... fast? ...Slow? ...Screwed up? ...HACKED??
What are you looking for?
What are the tools (WireShark, Sniffer, etc...)?
How to start sniffing...?
Have you ever:
- "sniffed" a network?
- Searched for specific traffic (e.g.DNS)?
- Captured that traffic without taking disk space on that source system?
- Analyzed that traffic in clear text?
Be sure to attend the tutorial on Wednesday and get these questions
answered, and more!
But wait!! This is only the *FIRST tutorial in a series* of increasing
complexity with members of the "SLUUG Sysadmin team" contributing different
perspectives to diagnose issues with one of our serves.
Tease: If you're curious what *"tcpdump"*, *"Wireshark"*,
*"tshark"*, and
*"snoop"* have to do with network sniffing, then you're going to want to
make sure to attend ....
And, if you thought sniffing *un*encrypted traffic was
impressive, wait until you can do and SEE with *encrypted traffic.* Yes,
you read that correct, we're going to look into encrypted traffic from a
network sniffer. (More likely eencrypted will be in future month's
presentation, but tonite will lead you to it.)
~7:15pm
*MAIN* Topic:* "Cybersecurity & AI" , a review. *

Reviewing where we are and what we need to look out for both positive vs.
negative (IE. *AI *as used *in attacks* *vs.* *in defense*)

The *Saint Louis Unix Users Group *(*SLUUG*) is an IRS 501c(6) designated
not-for-profit professional association dedicated to education and
communication among computer users. SLUUG members include many Linux and
UNIX professionals, Networking experts, System experts, hobbyists,
retirees, students, plus many others who are interested in Unix, Unix-like
Operating Systems, Linux, BSD and other Free Open Source Software (FOSS)
applications, products, projects and services.
*SLUUG* is your forum for exchanging information about OPEN standards, OPEN
systems, OPEN source, products, services and architectures.
We usually start the general meeting with our *BASE* introductory level
session (often focused on personal computing), which may include either
simple tutorials, displays of newly discovered web sites, command line
wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, amazing graphical packages,
major resolution of long standing anomalies, blinking lights, or quantum
shifts in both time and space. Then we will have our usually quick welcome,
introduction, administrative announcements, and a Call For Help - Questions
and Answers Period. After all that, we may take a break before our *MAIN*
event.
