I'm probably being an idiot for posting this now that the subscriber list
suddenly swelled because of the rave reviews at SANS, but I think many
here would be interested in this.

I still find it weird that I'm reading about someone I know, but
even more weird is our favorite NIDS signature database
maintainer (along with Jim, of course) made it into the
SANS NewBites mailing --

- 24 March 2000 FBI Cyber Informant Charged with Cracking
A self-described "ethical hacker" who has been a confidential source
for the FBI stands accused of cracking into a number of government and
University computer systems, and of possessing nearly 500 passwords
belonging to customers of a California ISP.

Somewhat informative. I /really/ like the last paragraph, but I'm into
that dark humour sorta thang.
