Before we had all the great books that we had today, the SnifferU courses
were a great source for information. A lot of the low level stuff that it
is hard to find information on, like what is B8ZS, how does it work and how
does it differ from D4AMI.
I don't know if I'll go for the certification but I'm glad to see they are
bringing it back. It is definatly worth a look.

Subject: Re: Off Topic: Any interest in new Sniffer Certification?
It was a very interesting post. The poster probably should have used a
private e-mail address so it wouldn't appear to be marketing spam, but it
was still a relevant and important piece of news for the clueful people on
the list.
