Hi Michael,

Yes Google groups is a really nice resource. Originally it used ot be DejaVu, was then rebranded as Deja dot com and was then bought by Google and incorporated into what is now known as Google groups.

Some of the threads there go waaaaaay back in time (even predating Google itself I believe)...

Sean

Thanks

Steve Bellovin is mentioned in that article - utterly brilliant man. I was able to learn from him back in my Bell Labs days - it's incredible the knowledge that was shared.

Check out An Evening With Berferd, in which a Cracker is Lured, Endured and Studied. Great stuff!

Thanks
