AUUG is pleased to present the 2005 Unix Systems Administration Symposium,
and chance to gather and discuss the administration of Unix, Linux and
related systems.
 
The symposium will be held in Sydney on Wednesday 6 July 2005.
 
In association with the symposium AUUG is pleased to present Abe Singer of
the Security Technologies Group at the San Diego Supercomputer Center who
will give a tutorial on Logging Infrastructure and Log Analysis. This
tutorial will be presented in Sydney on Tuesday 5 July 2005, and in
Melbourne on Tuesday 12 July 2005.
 
This tutorial will describe how to build an infrastructure to collect,
preserve, and extract useful information from computer operating system and
application logs - ultimately to help the system administrator learn more
about what is happening on their systems and network.
 
Abe Singer is a member of the Security Technologies Group at the San Diego
Supercomputer Center. In providing operational security for the Center, he
participates in incident response and forensics, and is expanding the SDSC
logging infrastructure. His research is in pattern analysis of syslog data
for data mining. Mr. Singer is the author of "Building a Logging
Infrastructure" (SAGE, 2004. http://www.sage.org ), and is currently writing
a book on Log Analysis, due out around January 2006.
