Keeping FreeBSD Up-to-Date in BSD Magazine
December 12th, 2009 admin
Keep your eyes open for the latest printed BSD Magazine , with my article Keeping FreeBSD Up-To-Date: OS Essentials. This article is something like 18 pages long, because at the last minute the publishers had several authors withdraw articles. The publishers decided to print the extended version of my article, so it’s far longer than I expected! We’re currently edited the companion piece on keeping FreeBSD applications up-to-date. I expect to also submit an article on running Sguil on FreeBSD 8.0 when I get a chance to test the latest version in

Kris Moore: PC-BSD - Making FreeBSD...AsiaBSDCon 2009 Paper Session. Abstract: FreeBSD has a reputation for its rock-solid reliability, and top-notch performance in the server world, but is noticeably absent when it comes to the vast market of desktop computing. Why is this? FreeBSD offers many, if not almost all of the same open-source packages and software that can be found in the more popular Linux desktop distributions, yet even with the speed and reliability FreeBSD offers, a relative few number of users are deploying it on their desktops. In this presentation we will take a look at some of the reasons why FreeBSD has not been as widely adopted in the desktop market as it has on the server side. Several of the desktop weaknesses of FreeBSD will be shown, along with how we are trying to fix these short-comings through a desktopcentric version of FreeBSD, known as PCBSD. We will also take a look at the package management system employed by all open-source operating systems alike, and some of the pitfalls it brings, which may hinder widespread desktop adoption. Author: Kris Moore is the founder of the PC-BSD project, and currently serves as its lead developer. He is a strong advocate of promoting BSD for desktop systems. Kris has been working on UNIX based-systems for over a decade, in the areas of networking, data recovery, and application development. He and his family currently live in eastern Tennessee.
Mohamad Dikshie Fauzie: FreeBSD and...AsiaBSDCon 2009 Paper Session. Abstract: In this paper we describe usage of FreeBSD operating system for IPv6 Multicast routing platform in SOI-Asia Project. SOI-Asia project is platform to deliver realtime lecture via UniDirectional Link of satellite to several countries in Asia. Because of limited bandwidth in satellite, we use IPv6 multicast to deliver material of lecture and realtime video and audio lecture. We also describe human resources development of operational aspect of the project in several countries in Asia. Author: Mohamad Dikshie Fauzie got bachelor and master degree from Institute of Technology Bandung, Indonesia. Currently graduate student at Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus. FreeBSD user since FreeBSD-2.2.8-RELEASE.

AFCERT circa 2000...This video shows the United States Air Force Computer Emergency Response Team (AFCERT) in 2000. Kelly AFB, Security Hill, and Air Intelligence Agency appear. The colonel who leads the camera crew into room 215 is James Massaro, then commander of the Air Force Information Warfare Center. The old Web-based interface to the Automated Security Incident Measurement (ASIM) sensor is shown, along with a demo of the "TCP reset" capability to terminate TCP-based sessions. We have a classic quote about a "digital Pearl Harbor" from Winn Schwartau, "the nation's top information security analyst." Hilarious, although Winn nails the attribution and national leadership problems; note also the references to terrorists in this pre-9/11 video. "Stop the technology madness!" Incidentally, if the programs shown were "highly classified," they wouldn't be in this video!
