A Day Over the Edge in System Administration

Full Day
(9:00 am-5:00 pm)

Marina 2

David N. Blank-Edelman, Northeastern University College of Computer and Information Science
Description: 

It's time to learn how to break the rules, abuse the tools, and generally turn your system administration knowledge inside out. This class is a cornucopia of ideas for creative ways to take the standard (and sometimes not-so-standard) system administration tools and techniques and use them in ways no one would expect. We'll also cover some tools you may have missed.

Note: The teacher takes no responsibility should your head explode during this class.

Who should attend: 

Old-timers who think they've already seen it all and those who want to develop inventive thinking early in their career. Join us and be prepared to be delighted, disgusted, and amazed. Most of all, be ready to enrich your network and system administration by learning to be different.

Take back to work: 

New approaches to old problems, along with some ways to solve the insolubles.

Topics include: 
  • How to (ab)use perfectly good network transports by using them for purposes never dreamed of by their authors
  • How to improve your network services by intentionally throwing away data
  • How Powerpoint karaoke can make you a better sysadmin
  • And much, much more!
