Please RSVP if you're planning to come (see further below).
For our 2009-06-16 BALUG meeting, we're excited to have Kyle Rankin[1] on forensics.
In this talk Kyle Rankin will provide an introduction to performing forensics analysis on Linux machines using the popular Sleuth Kit[2] tools with their easy-to-use Autopsy[3] web-based front-end. The talk will cover initial installation and configuration of Sleuthkit and Autopsy, basic concepts and considerations for a forensics investigation, and at the end there will be a demo with a real, compromised Linux image.
Kyle Rankin is a systems architect for Quinstreet, Inc.[4], the current president of the North Bay Linux Users Group[5], the author of Knoppix Hacks[6], Knoppix Pocket Reference[7], Linux Multimedia Hacks[8], and Ubuntu Hacks[9] and has contributed to a number of other O'Reilly[10] books. Kyle is also a columnist for Linux Journal[11] and has had articles featured in PC Magazine[12], TechTarget[13] and other publications.
