 A network telescope is a portion of routed IP address space with little 
 or no legitimate traffic. By monitoring unexpected traffic arriving at a
  telescope\, we can determine remote victims of DoS or hosts infected by
  a worm. This talk covers trends in DoS attacks and victims over the pas

DESCRIPTION:Coping with the Erosion of Network Boundaries\nSpeaker: Peyt
 on Engel\, Berbee\nSession Chair: Lynda True\, Northrop Grumman\n\nIt's 
 getting more and more difficult for administrators of networks\, servers
 \, and applications to tell where their duties begin and end. Technologi
 es such as wireless networking\, VPNs\, distributed computing\, and load
 -balancing gear are eroding the boundaries that have defined some tradit
 ional I/T roles. As organizations begin to incorporate these new technol
 ogies\, security is frequently a casualty\, simply because these tools c
 an undermine the familiar conceptual frameworks we use for evaluating ri
 sk. This talk will demonstrate that the techniques needed to cope with t
 he present family of emerging threats have existed for some time\, and w
 ill offer insight into the kind of networked services that will be best 
 positioned to prosper in an atmosphere where familiar defenses continue 
 to erode.\n

DESCRIPTION:Security vs. Science: Changing the Security Culture of a Nat
 ional Lab\nSpeaker: RŽmy Evard\, Argonne National Laboratory\nSession Ch
 air: Elizabeth Zwicky\, Great Circle Associates\n\nTwo years ago\, Argon
 ne National Laboratory had continual security problems and was rated ver
 y poorly in several federal security audits\, with potentially devastati
 ng consequences. Today\, the Laboratory has a strong security environmen
 t that passed its most recent audit with flying colors. And\, despite ma
 ny fears\, Argonne scientists are still able to collaborate with colleag
 ues around the world. This talk will tell the story of the Laboratory's 
 about-face. It will cover tools\, practical techniques\, policies\, less
 ons learned\, and mistakes to avoid.\n

DESCRIPTION:Talking to the Walls (Again)\nSpeaker: Mark Burgess\, Oslo U
 niversity College\nSession Chair: David Blank-Edelman\, Northeastern Uni
 versity\n\nWithin a decade the dream of pervasive computing will be a re
 ality. Computers will be built into almost every device. Houses will be 
 designed like computing ecologies\, wired throughout. Surfaces will be i
 nteractive\, and wireless communication will bind us to this infra-struc
 ture. What scientific and technological principles will be required to r
 emain in control of this scenario\, and what are its security implicatio
 ns? This kind of highly distributed environment has not only technologic
 al but social implications as we see technology increasingly being used 
 to bolster established social structures\, as well as create new ones.\n

  and its origins. A good portion of it comes from popular culture: movie
 s\, television\, and other mass media. Movie clips and other source mate
 rial will entertain you\, and more important\, give you new insight into
  just what ways much of the world views our profession.\n

DESCRIPTION:Security Lessons from \"Best in Class\" Organizations\nSpeak
 er: Gene Kim\, Tripwire\, Inc.\nSession Chair: Deeann Mikula\, Consultan
 t\n\nA few organizations have somehow figured out how to get Operations\
 , Security\, Audit\, and Management to work together to meet common obje
 ctives\, resulting in the highest service levels (e.g.\, lowest MTBF)\, 
 earliest integration of security into the ops lifecycle\, and the highes
 t spans of controls (best automation allows assigning more servers per s
 ysadmin). What makes these \"best in class\" organizations so different 
 from the rest of the herd\, quantitatively\, qualitatively\, and behavio
 rally?\n\nIn this talk\, I will present some of my research results and 
 their surprising conclusions. I'll also talk about the passions I've dev
 eloped as a result of this work\, including repeatable and verifiable pr
 ocesses and process improvement.\n
