The Bro team and the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab are pleased to announce a further "Bro Workshop", a 2.5-day Bro training event that will take place in Berkeley, CA, on October 13-15, 2009.
The workshop is primarily targeted at site security personnel wishing to learn more about how Bro works, how to use its scripting language and how to generally customize the system based on a site's local policy.
Similar to previous workshops, the agenda will be an informal mix of tutorial-style presentations and hands-on lab sessions. No prior knowledge about using Bro is assumed though attendees should be familiar with Unix shell usage as well as with typical networking tools like tcpdump and Wireshark.
All participants are expected to bring a Unix-based (Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD) laptop with a working Bro configuration. For the workshop, we'll be using a pre-release version of 1.5, which you can download here. Please make sure this version compiles without problems on your laptop. In addition to that, we will provide sample trace files to work with.
This workshop will again be hosted by the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, and it will be located at the Hotel Durant in Berkeley. We will soon provide a web site with more detailed registration and location information. To facilitate a productive lab environment, the number of attendees will be limited to 30 people. A registration fee of $125 will be charged.
The registration for the workshop is no longer possible.
Here's the final agenda.
The workshop will be located in Berkeley at the Hotel Durant on 2600 Durant Ave, right off the campus.
If you have any further questions about the workshop, feel free to send a mail to Robin Sommer.
