Hi,
I'm afraid I did not find a lot of merit in these videos, and the
countermeasures suggested show that the author may not fully understand
the subject matter. Sorry to be so harsh in my criticism but I would not
suggest newbies use this resource to learn about information security
because there are too many inaccuracies and misconceptions.

I do feel that teaching by demonstraion is a very useful tool for
education.    This format is really good for teaching quickly, but a
voice-over as opposed to reading text make for shorter, punchier
demonstrations. Can I also suggest you do away with the <BLINK> tag?

Regards,
