PING? PONG!

After a brief silence, I am posting to say the group still has the willing to meet but we should change our location. I would be keen to go somewhere in Marietta, or Smyrna, but this will be decided by the poll again. Personally the location in Optimus is too far for everybody.

Also if you would like to donate a meeting room with projector for the meetings in Marietta surroundings please let me know.

Thanks

Meeting

Thanks to all that showed up on the meeting last night. It seems that the interest to the group is pretty high and we will try to keep the ball rolling. Our next meeting will be in January 7th 2008.

Our guest speaker will be posted here by Dec 25th.

Thanks to all again, see you on the January meeting.

Meeting Monday Dec 10th

The topic of the meeting will be "Open Source management tools for your network". The speaker will be Radi Tzvetkov from Prenova Corp. The meeting will start at 19:00h and prior to it there will be a discussion on various hot topics.

See you all there!

Security Testing Framework

Looking for a methodologies on security testing i found a very interesting paper called "Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM)" The current version is 2.1 but version 3 is expected soon . Here is the official web site of the people making it - http://www.isecom.org/. They provide training and i guess that is not very bad idea. Most of the companies out there hire external security audits every now and then, well here is a framework that will help you keep this internal. And of-course if you are lazy like me here is the wikipedia.org article about the framework.

We have a meeting place

Good news! Bob Warren from Optimus solutions was so kind to offer a room for our first meeting. We have a room reserved at their office in Norcross. The address is:

22 Technology Parkway South
Norcross, GA 30092

Thanks for the support and we are looking forward to see you there on the second Monday of December 10-Dec-2007 at 19:00h.

First Meeting

As i have posted the meetings are going to be once a month, every second Monday. Due to some difficulties the first meeting is scheduled for December 10th. We still have no place to meet or invited speaker so if you have any particular subject that is in your interest area please post a comment.
