Could have told you that a long time ago. NSP-SEC became useless the day it became so bogged down in its own self-aggrandizing paranoia that no one could possibly be bothered to actually tell anyone outside of the secret handshake club about security issues they've spotted. On the other hand, if you ARE going to sit around pissing and moaning about botnets you are too "sekure" to tell anyone else about, thus assuring they never get fixed, at least it's nice to do it in one secret place so I don't have to hear it. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
