First of all... I would like to present myself, since this is my first post
in this mailing list.

My name i s Andrea Ghirardini and I'm working as security consultant in
Italy, my homeland.
I'm 30 and I begun to interest in security and "hacking" when I was about
15een.
I've ten year of experience in Networks (LAN & WAN) and Operating Systems
(Microsoft ones and various Unix flavours). I worked for various local IT
society and for Telcom Italia.

I've gained various security-related certifications and I'm studiyng hard to
gain my CISSP Certification iduring this year.

Stop presentation ... :-)

Done this I'm bit confused about this question. Where I live many people know
me as an "white-hat hacker", other than, obiuvsly, as a good security
consultant. I think that this shold be quite normal for a guy involved in
security. Recently a local magazine intervisted me and I told them that,
IMHO, a security consultant should be a good "hacker" too beacuse a trained
"dark-side" mind could be very helpfoul to do Computer Forensic and to
understand various attack  types.

Am I in wrong?

So this question, IMHO is posed in a "media" term. A better definition shold
be "Black-hat hackers" or cracker, don't you?

Best Regard

Andrea Ghirardini
