Question to the group. Since this is IDS aka Intrusion Detection, is there any interest in reviewing captured cracker tool kits? I've captured plenty over the past few years. :-) I've offered the toolkits to CERT, they said "no thanks; we have probably already seen them" So.......................... Who else might be interested? NO, I don't want to just post it to a news group. Lets not debate the pros and cons of posting, I get enough e-mail as it is!!!!! thank you. I'm looking for groups that want to *review* the tool kits and post summary information that might aid sites in the future. I've already gotten all the milage I can out of them so I'm offering them to other researchers/security profesionals. Gene- your research group would be welcome to them, we go back a long way and your reputation has always been flawless. ======================================================================= Brad Powell : brad.powell@Sun.COM Sr. Network Security Consultant Sun Microsystems Inc. ======================================================================= The views expressed are those of the author and may not reflect the views of Sun Microsystems Inc. ======================================================================= Thought for the week: Vince Lombardi said "The best defence is a strong offence" maybe its time to start hiring bounty hunters to track down computer criminals instead of spending all the time/effort on firewalling....
