From a simple grunt's point of view (read callcentre senior tech ;)) I would have thought it was more to the point to write reports on successful attacks. The point being that otherwise all the report writer is doing is saying "yes it's working" in a rather long-winded fashion. The only point I can really see is that where a new patch has been applied or a new configuration is being trialled to either prove or disprove its' usefulness. If however a successful attack is being documented then the writer is essentially writing a business plan to say "I need money to buy X Y and Z to stop this happening again". Probably too simplistic a viewpoint :) Kind regards, Julian
We write reports saying that we get 25 unsuccessful hacking attempts a second in a vain attmpt to convince senior management that we are actually worth employing. And so that when something does, on the odd occasion, get through, folk keep it in perspective. Likewise for spam. It's more like counselling than system administration, but career diversification is a good thing in this post-bubble day and age :) Martin -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
