Thanks to those who have agreed to participate.<br>
<br>
<b>Some more information to entice others:</b><br>
When you run a program that program is typically trusted with all of
your privileges. That is, the programs you run can do anything you can
do. They have complete access to all of your personal documents. This
is unfortunate, as <b>you cannot trust programs to act on your behalf</b>.
Vulnerabilities often allow attackers to take control of the programs
you run, and some programs (malware) are designed to be malicious.<br>
<br>
By participating in this research you will learn about and use three
different Linux security mechanisms for confining applications. <b>This
is a unique opportunity to learn about and get some hands on experience
with application confinement.</b><br>
<br>
If you are interested, send me an email <font size="2">(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:c.schreuders@murdoch.edu.au">c.schreuders@murdoch.edu.au</a>)</font>.
If you have any questions then please ask.<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>

<title>Participate in research, learn about and use Linux security
systems</title>
<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<p><font size="2">Hi, my name is Cliffe Schreuders and I am currently
recruiting participants for my PhD research in order to compare the
usability of three Linux security systems.<br>
<br>
If you participate you could WIN AN IPOD NANO!<br>
<br>
Participation will involve learning about three Linux security systems,
using them, and giving feedback. Participants will attend one session
which is expected to take about 3 hours. A number of sessions will be
scheduled over the next month or so. The sessions take place at Murdoch
University, South St, Murdoch.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in participating, please send me an email
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:c.schreuders@murdoch.edu.au">c.schreuders@murdoch.edu.au</a>).<br>
<br>
The session times for the coming week are:<br>
Wednesday 19th August: 10:30 am<br>
Thursday 20th August: 1:30 pm<br>
Thursday 20th August: 6:30 pm<br>
<br>
If you would like to attend one of the above times I can reserve a
place for you. If those session times do not suit you, please let me
know what times you will be available in the coming weeks and I will
try to organise a session time which suits you.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
