At UCB I have taught
Introduction to Communication Networks
and
Network Security.
I will next be teaching Network Security in Spring 2009.
Biography
I received my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California,
Berkeley, and have been (and continue to be)
a staff scientist with the Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory's
Network Research Group
for many years.
I began at the
ICIR
group of the
International Computer Science Institute (ICSI)
in 1999.
- Two of my main active research projects are
Bro
and CCIED (the NSF-sponsored
Collaborative Center for Internet Epidemiology and Defenses, a joint
effort with UC San Diego).
Much of the current emphasis of CCIED is on botnets and
Internet worms,
including our
network telescope project.
A significant milestone of one of my earlier projects was the
public release
of enterprise header traces: anonymized packet headers of traffic
recorded inside
LBNL.
