Recognised as a "security authority" by who? Certainly no one in the actual security industry. Just go hang out on *any* of the major security forums. Steve's not present, and the people/companies that are there are pretty dismissive of his talents (except his self-marketing ability). Better places to get security news: www.securityFocus.com (they run the Bugtraq list amongst others) www.cert.org Cheers Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed McCarroll" <Ed at ComSimplicity.com> To: <tom at pixelmech.com>; <thelist at lists.evolt.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 9:35 AM Subject: RE: [thelist] grc.com? : > https://grc.com : : This guy is a recognized authority on the nuts & bolts of internet : security. : : Visit his freeware page at: : : https://grc.com/freepopular.htm : : and the ShieldsUp page linked from: : : https://grc.com/default.htm
