As always chefren, thanks for taking the time to state the contrarian point of view in spite of the risk such views possibly being unpopular in a public forum. "Fyodor" is actually quite a level headed and well thought individual. Like you, he isn't afraid to do things which are unpopular or divisive such as releasing nmap as well as other useful tools and information which can easily be misused. If I remember the story correctly, "Fyodor" was even arrested for releasing nmap because it was used by someone else in attacks on US government sites, so if he seems to have a bit of an edge when it comes to injustice and unfairness, his edge is well justified. BTW, I tend to put his pseudonym in quotes in hopes of stemming the confusion between "Fyordor" of nmap fame and Fyodor of snort fame. They are different people and the latter is the real name of the author who has helped me out on a few occasions. Needless to say, trying to make a distinction gets tedious. ;-) kind regards, jcr -- cd ~. -Almost Home
