Re: Astalavista?

[lists <lists () badfoo net>]

I have been a member at astalavista.net for several years now.  IMHO it 
falls more under the grey area as opposed to black.  Warez/Cracks are 
not allowed and any posts detailing or asking for such are trashed by 
the staff rather quickly.  There are some rather talented folk at asta, 
but for the most part, if you are looking for an advanced community, 
then you will probably be let down. 

The directory (everything that is found on the DVD is available 
piecemill from the portal itself) is rather out of date but it is slowly 
coming back into 'the now'.  The wargame servers (when they're up, which 
isn't very often anymore) are good for killing time and fun if you're 
into that kind of thing.

Overall, worth the price?  I guess that depends on how much extra cash 
you have floating around.  If you need to rid yourself of some budget 
overflow, then, sure, by all means, it's worth it.  Otherwise, I 
couldn't really recommend coming out of pocket for it.

While searching for resources I came across Astalavista.net, which I
have known about for years but never looked at it.  Any security site
can be a good resource, but does anyone have any experience with the
quality of Astalavista's membership?  Does it fall under black hat
more than neutral?

Thanks
