meeting is today folks!<br><br>
See you at Tiny's in Santa Fe at 11:30 am.<br><br>
Our speaker is Oban Lambie, Principal, Brownrice Internet Inc.

<b>"Profiling a modern server hack: Who, Why,
How?!?"<br>
</b><br>
Back in the good old days hackers attacked your servers for geek fame,
used tools to attack the operating system directly, were mostly located
within the US, and simply enjoyed "owning" servers. Times
have changed. Now the bad guys are in it for very different
reasons, use vastly different tools to access your system, and rarely
originate from within the US. Oban's been massaging servers for
years and he's had to deal with more than a few hacks. He'll walk
you through who's getting into your systems, how they are doing it, how
to protect your machines, and what you can effectively do if your machine
does get taken down.<br><br>

Oban was born and raised in San Francisco but spent significant portions
of his childhood in Northern New Mexico. He began his computer career at
the age of twelve during summer computer programming camps programming

. Oban's computer career took flight with the emergence of the Internet.
Since then he's become an accomplished Web Programmer, Database Engineer
and Systems Administrator. He's been the lead Systems Administrator for
ISP's, programmed for startups during the dot com heyday, built the back
end of many enterprise level web sites, and lead teams of programmers and
systems administrators through completion of countless successful
projects. He now manages the Brownrice Internet staff, keeps
<a href="http://hosting.brownrice.com/services">the network</a> humming,
and chases his wife and twin boys around during his time off.<br><br>
Also, we're pleased to announce Mike Friestad and Mike Kruchoski have
been nominated as Board candidates for next year.<br><br>
It's not too late to pay online still, or bring cash or check to the
lunch.<br><br>
