Welcome to the Unix Hobbyists' Administrators' & Coders' Club

Avast!

U.H.A.C.C. be the saltiest sea-dogs ta ever set sail upon the seven seas! And if ya be doubt'n us, we'll fire a shot across yer bow!

At our meetings in the secret UHACC cove, where we hide our plunder, ya can discuss wit' us the best ways to navigate waters both deep and shallow, ta avoid the shoals and reef! Ta find us, follow the map ta to the big "X", run the 'roger up the mizzenmast and heave hard ta starboard! Drop anchor and take the longboats ashore!

Sound interestin', ya filthy bilge rats?
We'd love to see you. Love to see ya be walkin' the plank, eh, me hearties? Meetings are open ta anyone, even landlubbers, so if ya be sailin' by our coast why don't ya be droppin' anchor in our lagoon? All us pirates, buckaneers, smugglers, and blockade-runners meet every Wednesday evening, 7-9pm at Illinois Wesleyan University's Hanson Student Center's main dock in Bloomington, Illinois. (see directions)
Here be even more info about UHACC, and our ship, the S.S. O.S.S. Ya can beg parley from the Capt'n fer more info.

Talk like a Pirate Day!

Presentation: Net Forensics: Tools & Techniques

Presented by Phil Buescher & Chuck Geigner,
September 22, 7:30pm

- IWU Hansen Center, room 200. [directions]

Ever have a server come under seige? Or get weird TCP wrapper messages, annoying spam, or strange snort logs? Phil & Chuck will discuss how to take your fragments of evidence and trace events back to their source. They will be discussing using common tools such as nmap, lsof, whois, traceroute, logfiles, ping, netstat, dig, telnet and more to diagnose problems and sniff that trail.

Presentation: Scientific Computation Using the PlayStation 2 Game Console

Presented by Craig Steffen,
October 20, 7:30pm

- IWU Hansen Center, room 200. [directions]

The Emotion Engine CPU of the Sony Playstation 2 game console has a unique architecture that makes it interesting for matrix calculations. Using available hardware and the PS2 Linux kit, Craig participated in team at the U of I that experimented with adapting it to scientific computation tasks. The kits, the matrix multiply software, and the 70-node cluster of PlayStations 2s will be discussed.

Thanks to Craig for presenting! --CG
