AS/400: Lifting the Veil of Obscurity
StankDawg


The AS/400 system from IBM is a powerful system that is in widespread
use. Despite that, it is difficult to find information on it or learn
about it from any school. A general overview of its design and the
architecture of the OS will be presented. This will then be tied into
fundamental computing knowledge to show where "interesting" data can be
found and where possible weaknesses are in the system.


Saturday 1700
Area "B"

Is anyone here attending this conference?  I'd like to know what kind of
information/misinformation is being spread here, and just what sort of
perceived 'weaknesses' are being discussed.
