Normally, I don't think having the feds involved in anything is a good thing, but with this new security push I can see a lot of positivity, assuming the tech transfer goes in both directions. DARPA seems to have realized that the major security vulnerability in America's IT infrastructure isn't the hardened systems or the systems maintained by savvy admins at big corporations like Yahoo, it's the millions of hopelessly insecure boxes out there that can be conscripted to be slave labor in sniffing, DDoS or packet-time-guessing attacks. Cheers to Robert Watson and all others who reeled this in! -- Don Wilde, President Network Lynx 866-272-5586 Email: Don@Network-Lynx.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
