First up, Jerod Lycett gave a talk on some security basics, including information about passwords, wireless and a few other items of interest.

Second, Jeff Best talked about security and compliance, including the 5 W’s of security. He has a wiki page posted at http://cplug.pbwiki.com/Security-Stuff.

After pizza, John Place talked about SSH, its history, some of its more overlooked but very useful features, and a bit into ~/.ssh/config, and how you can make your SSH life easier using it.

Finally, Chris Moates gave an impromptu talk about the yubikey, a device from Yubico that generates one time passwords. More information on the yubikey can be found at http://www.yubico.com.

Here’s some pictures of each speaker:

The next meeting will be on March 10th.
