Wow some life, no TV, I take my hat off to you. Very impressive list of certs. Its always easier to pull someone down 
than to build them up.

Just my 0.2 cents.

Subject: Defamation and the diffculties of law on the Internet.



This post goes to those cowards who sit behind anonymity on the web and cast doubt and aspersions about people whilst 
hiding. I note that most defamatory comments are anonymous. Cowards!

An anonymous poster (not this list, but the person I suspect does subscribe to this one)  stated that there are doubts 
with my qualifications. Anonymity is the shield of cowards, it is the cover used to defend their lies. My life is open 
and I have little care for my privacy - so in my case this is an easy charge to defend.

SANS GIAC
This is the daftest to challenge and easiest to contest.
http://www.giac.org/certifications/gse-compliance.php or go to http://www.giac.org/certified_professionals/and type in 
"Craig Wright" It is not difficult to check.

As I am the ONLY GSE-Compliance (verify if you like) it is an EASY validation.
I do not use it on my title - long enough, but I am a SANS/GIAC Technical Director as well. This is harder to check, 
but email Stephen Northcutt if you like.

I have about 25 GIAC Certs - so please pick on them all you like.

ISACA.
I do not know the process to validate with ISACA. However I have a CISA and CISM.

My ISACA ID is 187312
. CISA No. 0542911
. CISM No. 0300803

ISC2
I am CISSP/ISSMP/ISSAP # 47304. This is also easy to check on the ISC2 site.
https://webportal.isc2.org/custom/certificationverification.aspx (Though I have misspelled my home address with Lasarow 
- not Lisarow Doh).

ISFCE
I am a CCE - see the site for verification. http://www.certified-computer-examiner.com/list.htm

University
I also have a write-up on:
http://www.infoage.idg.com.au/index.php/id;1151410747;fp;32768;fpid;597320227
My CSU (Charles Stuart University) student number is 11293457 (and was as I am on my 3rd masters and starting Psych) 
Http://www.csu.edu.au. I have a Masters Degree in Management, but I try not to be too pointy haired. I also have IT 
degrees from here as well.
Yes - a small University, but accredited all the same.

May be it is my Statistics study at the University of Newcastle.
Student No. 3047661.

Newcastle is considered one of Australia's primary research universities.
I have just completed my LLM (International Commercial Law) with the submission of my dissertation on "Internet 
Intermediary Liability".  This was with the University of Northumbria (UK). Student Number: 05024288

There are others, but these are the latest 3 Universities where I have been doing the last 5 post graduate degrees in 
my collection.

Am I to admit that my Associate degree in Science saw more drinking then study? Well this is true, I drank like a fish 
and turned up drunk to a couple exams. I just passed them - but there is the point. I also do not use these any longer 
as with several post graduate degrees - who cases what I did at the undergrad level?

Church and Religion
Or is the "bitch" that I am a member of the Uniting Church (and a trustee of the church) and also have qualifications 
in religion? Does being a casual pastor and planned deacon make it such that my IT degrees means less?

See: http://www.unitingfinancial.com.au/resource/summer07-08_Lr.pdf
Or: http://www.burnside.org.au/content/Caring%20newsletter%20summer%2005.pdf

Dropping Out
Maybe the issue is that I dropped out of my first degrees? In 1989 I started a B.Eng/BSci double degree. I dropped out 
of the University of Queensland in 1992 (after my 3rd year). I have a reason for this. I had cancer. I though that it 
was better to go back to my studies after I knew I would live. Sorry, but we all have priorities.
Being that I returned to University when I knew I would live, I do not have an issue with this. I dropped out. What of 
it? I also went back.

Other
I am a member of the IEEE, AIMS (Associate Fellow), ACM (1842188) and MANY other things.
I do not watch TV. I study, write and work with the church. To those cowards who want to challenge my qualifications - 
come forward and do it!
