April Presentations

A couple of CPD Opportunities this month

I am presenting a talk on Wireless Networking on the 18th April at the Herts branch of the Institute of Measurement and Control, see their web site for details of the talk http://bit.ly/GHN0Xm,

Synopsis

Although the 802.11 protocol was released in 1997 by the IEEE and is by computing timelines is a mature technology with a large take-up of the technology by manufactures and users, there are still issues in implementing a practical network using wireless, especially in the non-commercial environment.
This talk will look at the issues of implementing 802.11 networks, the tools that can be used and how these apply to the home environment. The talk will include practical demonstrations of the tools and techniques discussed in the presentation

Also presenting my talk on Hollywood forensics on the 24th April at the Herts Branch of the British Computer Society, see their web site for details of the talk  http://bit.ly/AcZ3TC 

Synopsis

The success of forensics-based dramas like CSI, Numb3rs, and NCIS has ensured there is no shortage of applicants to study forensics. Hollywood and its public are enamoured by the apparently supernatural potency of the discipline. The ludicrous feats of deduction often scored by the stars of these shows have convinced many that modern forensics is fast-paced, glamorous work. The "CSI effect" has given the public and particularly some members of juries inflated expectations of computer forensic analysis. This talk looks at Hollywood and the TV interpretation of digital forensics and gives an insight into to how it is really done.
