     do with it using packet capture and packet construction tools
     such as libpcap and libnet, this session is for you.  doe
     will introduce, discuss and demonstrate a tool he has created
     that, as he says "pokes TCP and IP where they feel good".

---------

University of Technology, "Building 6" on Harris Street (near Central
Station), room 6.4.17 (Building 6, Level 4, Room 17).  Open from Midday
onwards, seminars begin at 1pm.

We have prepared a new map showing the exact location of the seminars
relative to Central Station and The Crystal Palace (2600 Sydney meeting
location, may be familiar to some).  Once you're on Harris Street (please
print the map and refer to it), locate the smaller of the two sets of
stairs leading into Building 6.  At the top of the stairs, a large
internal stairwell should be visible.  Go up one level and follow the
signs to room 17 on this level.

session, an intermediate session (may include hardware pull-apart
or a demonstration) and an advanced session.

We're always on the lookout for people to present a 40-60 minute
technical talk or demonstration on pretty much any topic of interest
in the area of information technology, computer security, electronic
gadgetry, communications and the like.  If you're interested in speaking
