Yeah, most shold understand what's taking place. The subject of the email gives it away pretty well. =)
In case you're still wondering, here's what I believe those terms mean: - HUP: Perl client for the "Uptimes Project". (http://www.uptimes.net/) - TEMPEST: Acronym has been argued. (http://www.eskimo.com/~joelm/tempest.html) - SARA: Security Auditor's Research Assistant (http://www-arc.com/sara/) You can get the relation from the first two somewhat easily if you look at it. HUP being related to "Uptime" is obvious now, I'd hope. ;) TEMPEST is known to stand for "Tremendously Endowed Men Performing Exciting Sexual Techniques". The TEMPEST relation to computer security is described on the page I mentioned above. As I said, it's true long-form has been argued. (Basic meaning: it's a code word that relates to specific standards used to reduce electromagnetic emanations.) SARA could be taken two ways. (hah, no pun intended.) Either as a female name in the simplest form, or, an inuendo on "Auditor's Research Assistant" (as in secretary). You can decide that one for yourself. -- Peace. ~G On Thu, 23 Sep 2004 22:48:02 -0400, stilist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 23 Sep 2004 19:26:40 -0700, GuidoZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Then maybe you're too young to. ;) > > I dunno...
