RE: Network and Incident Symbology: Comments Wanted

["Becky Bace" <infomom () sprintmail com>]

I seem  to recall an effort to develop a standard set of such icons for
infowar. (There were panel discussions of it at the final National Infosec
Conference; perhaps a look at the proceedings - look at NIST's security
clearinghouse for an online version - would provide additional information)
I know that a small group of us were working on this, too, for use in
computer security training.
