This is an RFC 1153 digest. (1 message) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Fyodor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: [Full-disclosure] NSA tracking open source security tools Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2006 01:21:41 -0800 Of the recent U.S. political scandals, one of the most divisive is the issue of President Bush (IMHO illegally) authorizing the NSA to conduct warantless wiretaps on Americans' phone calls and emails. While I don't like the NSA tracking my phone calls, they are welcome to track Nmap release status. And apparently they are doing so :). The latest (February 6) issue of Newsweek has a picture on page 39 of George Bush visiting the NSA headquarters in Fort Meade. A wall-sized screen in the background displays the latest versions of our favorite open source security tools, including Nmap, Metasploit, Snort, Ethereal, Cain & Abel, and Kismet. Nifty. For those without the magazine, I have posted a pic at: http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_inthenews.html#bush Maybe open source software really will take over the world :). Cheers, Fyodor PS: For those who missed the announcement, Nmap 4.0 is now available: http://www.insecure.org/stf/Nmap-4.00-Release.html ------------------------------ End of this Digest ****************** -- Raj Mathur [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F It is the mind that moves _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
