Hello.  :)

As requested, I'd like to introduce myself.  My name is Jill Bowyer, and I
am a computer network engineer working in Washington, DC.

I became interested in security approximately two years ago, but I have
been a computer 'addict' since elementary school.  I spent the last
four years in the US Air Force (active duty) working in the Pentagon.
I have accumulated quite a bit of information pertaining to computer/network
security, including a massive collection of tools (like what Rick Weldon
mentioned). Recently I ended my tour and joined the world of the civilians.

My current project is to research, test, and analyze various security tools.
(Sound like a big project?  It is!)  I am focusing on IDS for now, and I
was pleased to find a mailing list dedicated to the topic.  I have been 
coordinating a couple of my own security-oriented mailing lists for the last 
year or so.  (I told them about the list as well; this may explain some of the 
recent subscribers!)  

I am very interested in any information anyone has on the status of some of
the IDS's mentioned, such as W&S/STAR, Saturne (?), IDA, and NAURS.

Jill
