Bio:

Abstract:
We all use SSH, or should use it! But do you know SSH to the full extend? There is a lot more SSH can do for you apart from securing your connection. You probably use ssh keys, but have you ever played around with the ssh-agent? How about X11 forwarding using SSH? Connection compression? Tunnels? And what to do when things don’t work?

Sounds interesting? Then this workshop is meant for you!
