Re: Astalavista?

[Lars <sunberg () gmail com>]

 Hi

 I happens to be one of the administrators for Astalavista.net and I
like to clarify.
 Astalavista.net is kinda neat, it has a very good forum and a large
directory for files of all inds. Lots of ebooks to, if you are looking
for something special, please tell me and I will earch to see if its
there.
 We also have a big exploit directory, but to be honest, there is many
other places you can get just as good resources for an exploit
archive. Just take a look at the front page and select the tour to see
what else it has.
 We also have war game servers/challanges for those who wants to try
out their skills.

 If you want more info, please just ask with this mail, or you can
join our irc network.  irc.astalavista.net port 6667 or 6697 for ssl.

 Thanks
   Lars
