Greetings:

I am currently paid to be paranoid about the networks here on beautiful 
downtown Hanscom AFB (MA). We have a mix of mainframes, mini's and PC-based 
client/server networks running a mish-mash of operating systems. While my 
primary concern is protecting our assets from the great unwashed out on the 
Internet, I also have to deal with an increasing number of bright Lieutenants 
and contractors who are far too enthusiastic about experimenting in the neat-o 
realm of TCP/IP ("Hey kids, let's set up our very own Web server!")

While I will never completely rely on an automated process to handle any facet 
of security, I am always on the lookout for tools (free or cheap, these are 
your [U.S.] tax dollars I'm spending)that will releive the tedium that exists 
between incidents.

I'll be lurking for the most part. But then, that's the kinda guy I am.

Cheers,

Andy
