Netfilter workshop 2003, Budapest
Just got back from the netfilter workshop in Budapest, and there is most definitely a lot of interesting things going on right now. In short, <A
HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nf-hipac/">nf-hipac/hipac</A> looks extremely interesting, so does pkttables and the current development on the connection tracking systems. It was a couple of days filled with information. Hopefully there will be a protocol of some kind up at <A

Nebraska CERT conf 2003 presentation
I attended the Nebraska CERT conference 2003 after a lot of troubles getting there. The presentation has been added under the presentation tab. Overall, the conference was really good, and if nothing else, it was worth attending only for the excellent food they served. My only resignation must have been the troubles I had with security while entering the states, and with United Airlines. United Airlines kept delaying the flight from Chicago to Omaha for 10-15 minutes during 7 hours, and finally cancelled it. They where unable to get me another seat for 2 days, so I winded up driving by car together with 12 others for 8 hours through the night. Big kudos to the people I went with! Of course, a big military boot to UA for being a nightmare.
