I attended the CALUG (Columbia Area Linux Users Group) meeting tonight. The presentation was on Single Packet Authentication (SPA), a successor to port-knocking for granting access to selected users and hiding open ports from other users.
A somewhat scary aspect of the meeting was the fact that I could keep up with the discussion. I'm not much of a network geek (programming is my thing) yet at this meeting I quickly understood the concepts of port-knocking and SPA. Some folks knew it better than I, yet a bunch of folks asked questions that I felt I could answer. So I must be learning something about network configurations!
