Been a while

Well, it's been a while since I've posted so I thought I had better update everyone. I have been trying my hardest to understand the SANS 560 course. I must admit doing it through SANS @ Home has made it a bit easier. You basically get a half a days normal training in an evening then you get a couple of days to digest it. You have access to the virtual lab they have created to hack away at. I've taken previous course with sans and the more I do the more the internet scares the hell out of me. I tell you if somebody wants to get into your system or network and you have internet connectivity they can do it. If they have local machine access then you are screwed guranteed. I must admit I am surprised by the mentality at work in regards to security. We are far less worried about security than safety. We have safety briefings every thursday afternoon but never have we had a security briefing. I've gotten information on several sites and I will be posting links to them for anybody that may be interested. I've decided not to take the GPEN test as I don't think I will be ready for that. So that money will be put towards my BSc course I'm starting to take. Well time for some sleep I will update again soon...
