It’s just one weekend, dirt cheap, and going to be loads of fun. It’s in Edmonton at the School of Library and Information Studies (University of Alberta).
Taught by Lisa Yeo, formerly of The Alberta Library, now a Ph.D. student, and author of “Personal Firewalls for Administrators and Remote Users” (and very cool person). The bonus is that yours-truely, Cloned Milkmen, will be giving demonstrations. RFID hacking, barcode hacking, wifi man-in-the-middle, and more.
Here’s an excerpt:
To introduce students to the theory and practice of information security – the protection of information and information systems. The course will focus on foundational concepts, assessment and evaluation of information security practices in the library and information studies context.
