fwknop Presentation at BARcamp Chicago
23 August, 2008
Scott Beatty recently prepared a
talk about fwknop
at the 2008 BARcamp gathering in Chicago. It is nice
to see fwknop getting some additional publicity, and Scott emphasizes Single Packet Authorization
(SPA) mode communications over the legacy port knocking mode (which often seem to be confused as the
same thing). Scott's talk is entitled Protect Your SSH Port (and Others) With fwknop, and
has a lot of excellent supporting graphics - including screenshots of both the Nmap cross-platform
frontend Zenmap and the
fwknop Windows UI
in action - to help illustrate authentication concepts and fwknop usage.
From the BARcamp Chicago website: A BARcamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants. The name BARcamp was inspired as a complement to FOOcamp, a private tech gathering run by Tim O'Reilly.
