* *Who:* Andy Bair * *What:* !WebJob * *Where:* [[MarthasExchange][Martha's Exchange]] * *Day:* Thur 16 Feb * *Time:* 6:00 PM for grub, 7:30 PM for presentation !WebJob is a client-server system, where a tiny client requests and downloads a program from a server, executes that program on the client, then uploads the results to the server. !WebJob provides a mechanism for running known good programs on damaged orpotentially compromised systems. It is ideal for remote diagnostics, incident response, and evidence collection. !WebJob also provides a centralized management framework. It thereby supports and automates a large number of common host-based tasks such as: periodic system checks, file updates, integrity monitoring, patch/package management, and so on. Andy plans to discuss the tool, its architecture, and one or more demos. * !WebJob home page: http://webjob.sourceforge.net/WebJob/index.shtml * White papers: http://webjob.sourceforge.net/WebJob/Papers.shtml * GNHLUG announcements: * http://mail.gnhlug.org/pipermail/gnhlug-announce/2006-February/000260.html * http://mail.gnhlug.org/pipermail/gnhlug-announce/2006-February/000261.html * http://mail.gnhlug.org/pipermail/gnhlug-announce/2006-February/000262.html
