Hello WellyLUGgers!

I've introduced myself in a previous
post<http://lists.wellylug.org.nz/pipermail/wellylug/2007-June/017485.html>,
but the short version is that I'm a South African Linux geek, I run a small
open source consulting company, and my wife and I are coming to visit NZ in
Aug, to meet the tech community, make friends and potential business
connections. (We're giving serious thought to immigration - want to raise
our kids somewhere safe!)

I'd love to attend the WellyLUG meeting in August, I'm assuming it'll be
towards the middle of the month?

I'm no super-guru, but I've had some experience in various open source /
tech segments, and I could give a presentation, if you'd have me?

I was thinking about some of the items I could speak on, and came up with
the following list. (also on my
blog<http://dave.blogs.funkypenguin.co.za/2007/07/10/professor-penguin-i-could-give-a-talk-on/>
)

   - Creating a "super-router" with OpenWRT : How to take a regular
   Linksys router, flash the firmware with open source software, and end up
   with a far more powerful product, capable of enterprise WPA2->Radius
   authentication, WDS, VPN, etc.
   - Penetration testing on a wireless network: How to break the
   encryption on WEP and WPA, via brute force or packet injection. How insecure
   is your network?
   - How to secure your network against WEP / WPA intrusion by using
   Radius authentication, on your "super-router". (above)
   - How to setup a simple Asterisk PBX, using Trixbox.
   - DIY PVR using MythTV.
   - Setup a great blog, using open source software.
   - Setting up a Squid Proxy Server with Active Directory authentication
   to generate internet usage reports by user.

Will ya have me? ;)
