two down, one to go
Saturday, October 6th, 2007It’s all down there …..
one down, two to go
Friday, October 5th, 2007One stinking question. I missed one … grrr. Either way, this just the first part of the Snort Certified Professional course. I still have to tackle the Snort Rules course, and it’s final exam. Then I get to take the real deal Snort CP test. I will cover the rules course tomorrow while I’m at work .. not sure when I will do the big test though. Suffice to say, I’m off to a good start.
holy packet sniffing batman!
Thursday, October 4th, 2007My request for the Sourcefire Snort Certified Professional courses/exam, that I posted about earlier, was finally approved, bathed in red tape and finally completed. I received my login information for the courses and certification exam (through vcampus.com). I nervously logged in expecting to see that the account had been created weeks ago, and that I was not going to get the full sixty days; but to my surprise, it was created today! I decided to setup my profile on the vcampus site first, and to my surprise you can change, every aspect of your account, including user name. Being as the original user name and password were sent to me clear text, being able to change them both securely, rocks.
I have not as of yet dived into the course material; I must admit, I’m a little nervous about it. This is the first certification test, that I feel like I am actually going to have to work for. So I am thankful to be able to get the full sixty day period to access the materials.

R.I.P – Colin McRae
Saturday, September 15th, 2007Autoblog is reporting here that Colin McRae and possibly part of his family have died in a helicopter crash. The Times UK is reporting it here. While neither source can confirm that he died in the crash, it seems like it’s a pretty good bet.
It saddens me to see such a loss. A pioneer in the rally sport scene and one of the best drivers I have ever witnessed. Thank you for making me love the world rally championship. Thank you for causing me to spend the better part of a paycheck buying an xbox and steering wheel setup. You will be missed Mr. McRae.
Home Depot / Lowe’s Scam
Saturday, September 15th, 2007A “heads up” for those of you who may be regular Home Depot or Lowe’s customers. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don’t be naive enough to think it couldn’t happen to you. Here’s how the scam works:
