Hello WellyLUGgers!<br><br>I've introduced myself in a <a href="http://lists.wellylug.org.nz/pipermail/wellylug/2007-June/017485.html">previous post</a>, 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!)
<br><br>I'd love to attend the WellyLUG meeting in August, I'm assuming it'll be towards the middle of the month?<br><br>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?
<br><br>I was thinking about some of the items I could speak on, and came up with the following list. (also on my <a href="http://dave.blogs.funkypenguin.co.za/2007/07/10/professor-penguin-i-could-give-a-talk-on/">blog</a>
)<br><ul><li>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.</li><li>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?</li><li>How to secure your network against WEP / WPA intrusion by using Radius authentication, on your "super-router". (above)</li><li>How to setup a simple Asterisk PBX, using Trixbox.</li><li>
DIY PVR using MythTV.</li><li>Setup a great blog, using open source software.</li><li>Setting up a Squid Proxy Server with Active Directory authentication to generate internet usage reports by user.</li></ul>Will ya have me? ;)
