Somethinig else, Our company just got slammed with a $10,000 fine...why?
A scan by the 59th Signal Bn. Showed that we had 21 computers, 4 of them
running the same copy of Win2k. Too bad *nix systems arn't authorized on
the nipper/sipper net. (Although our Node Centers are SunMicro Sys.
powered...) Another thing, Dose the NSA have hacker classses on the Air
base? I have heard rumors of an upcoming one, The Army pays for that
type of thing.
