pauldotcom are gangsters masquerading as security professionals, this is the opinion of n3td3v. they have a bad name not only because of n3td3v but its widely thought by others that pauldotcom are questionable entities, this is why n3td3v believes that its a bad thing that sans are associated with them, and in time could start to bring down the respected name of the sans institute. there are already misdemeanors who have managed to get into sans through the internet storm center door who are in support of pauldotcom enterprises. n3td3v predicts the longer sans are associated with pauldotcom the greater they eat away at the credibility and respect that sans built up before pauldotcom came onto the scene. there are good people at sans and this is why n3td3v is concerned that the good people at sans are being bought into disrepute because of pauldotcom and entities who have crept into sans through the sans handlers gateway. n3td3v suggests both sides consider their positions before moving forward and having future association with one another. there have been multiple reports on the full-disclosure list that pauldotcom hasn't been upto scratch, its time for sans to start to take feedback seriously that is being presented to them and consider dropping pauldotcom as a partner of the sans brand.
