[sniffer] New Web Site!

2006-03-17 Thread Pete McNeil
Hello Sniffer Folks,

  Today we are making a major transition. The old Message Sniffer web
  site will be torn down and replaced with a new WIKI:

  http://kb.armresearch.com/index.php?title=Message_Sniffer

  The top Message Sniffer page will retain it's index for a while but
  instead of sending you to the original pages the links will take you
  to appropriate pages in the new WIKI.

  Also - if you try to go directly to an old page you will be
  redirected automatically to the appropriate new page.

  The WIKI requires that you create an account and log-in before
  making any changes. We know there are blackhats out there so we will
  be watching very closely... If we find there is abuse, we will
  disable the ability to create accounts and you will need to contact
  us at support@ if you want the ability to post -- let's hope it
  doesn't come to that.

  We will continue to update, improve, and correct the wiki - it will,
  in fact, be under constant development.

  Have fun!

Thanks,

_M

JTL What is the purpose of using a WIKI site?

A few things really -

* It's fast and easy to create, update, and correct the content.
Things happen quickly here and in the messaging security business in
general. It makes sense to use tools that can adapt just as quickly
and with as little friction as possible.

* Some of our user community contribute software and technical
knowledge on a regular basis. A wiki makes that process easier. This
is particularly useful where SNF overlaps with other software - The
folks who use, develop, or maintain that software can now participate
openly in developing documentation for that work.

* We've always maintained a collaborative relationship with our
customers and this helps to enforce that point.

* One of the things we've always encouraged is the sharing of
information related to, but not necessarily about SNF. For example, it
is not uncommon for a discussion about integrating SMF with a mail
server to branch off into a wide range of loosely related topics from
DNS, to server and network performance, to handy tools and tricks.

We have a lot of experts in our community. Quite Often, difficult to
find solutions lurk in the context of the discussions on and off our
list. Now those solutions can be captured here in the natural context
in which they came up so that they will be easy to find.

--

Consider this approach part of fostering a strong user community and
providing a resource that goes beyond our own products and services.

At the end of the day we are working shoulder to shoulder with the
developers, managers, administrators, and users of all kinds of
systems. We want this wiki to be a valuable resource for anybody who
uses SNF, and lots of folks who don't (yet).

A wiki is a site that is publically editable.  Anyone can add to the site as
long as they have a valid account.

JTL Pete, while I fully understand all of what you said, allowing any one
JTL registered to edit any page is leaving things wide open for abuse. Isn't
JTL there a way to set permissions on a section basis? Example, I should not
JTL have the ability to edit the recent events page and not that I would, but I
JTL am human and humans make mistakes and do dumb things from time to time.

The facilities are already in place for the system admin (us) to lock
any page.

Also, in order to make everyone more comfortable with this I have
changed the settings so that only the system administrator can create
an account.

-- What that means is that if anyone wants to contribute they will
have to send a note to support@ to have an account created for them.

We will create an account for anyone who has something of value to
contribute. We will revoke any accounts that abuse the system.

It makes me sad to have to do this so soon after turning the system
on, but apparently there is no other way to do this without causing a
near panic.

Hope this helps,

_M
