[ale] [Fwd: June Meeting of The Atlanta UNIX Users Group (AUUG)]

[Michael H. Warfield]

All,

	A few months back I gave my "Brave New World of IPv6 Talk" at ALE.
That's my introductory IPv6 talk.  At the time I mentioned that I was
going to give the somewhat more technical and more security focused talk
"The Security Implications of IPv6" at AUUG in an upcoming month.  That
will be this coming Monday, June 1.

	Several people indicated that they wanted to know when that was
scheduled and I promptly forgot who asked.  I know many of those who
attended my ALE talk are familiar with AUUG and are probably on the
announcement list, and already received this, but there are some who are
not.  So, attached below, is the meeting announcement for this Monday's
AUUG meeting.  My apologies to those for whom this is a duplicate.

	There is some overlap between the two talks but they are very
distinctly NOT the same talks.

	Regards,
	Mike

(Our speaker has supplied the following)

  IPv6 is the "Next Generation" IP protocol but has been largely
  ignored in areas of the world rich in IPv4 addressing capacity.

  However, IPv6 is available anywhere the Internet is available,
  whether end users realize it or not.  IPv6 carries with it a
  number of security implications for the Internet in general, IPv4
  or IPv6, and transitional mechanisms have implications and impact
  even on pure IPv4 environments.

  Michael Warfield is a Senior Researcher and Analyst for the X-
  Force Threat Analysis Team of IBM Internet Security Systems, Inc.
  (IBM-ISS).  He is responsible for doing research into security
  vulnerabilities and intrusion protection techniques for IBM-ISS
  X-Force, the research division of IBM-ISS.
