Hey gary I had to delete most of your post. I want you to have a good time here but let's try to be reasonable. Posting an entire IRC log about why someone is a penis is a bit extreme.

Besides that welcome to the board everyone.

Some one has been busy, that's an impresive list. If you need help with anything just ask.

Hi all

ComSec

hi, just logged in yesterday, kewl site you guys running here, i´ll be browsing around the articles lottsa stuff i´d like to learn, my name is jigmed aka Rigpa <nick used on ircnet where i hang out. I run qnx realtime OS and still struggle a lot with learning ..oh yep, it ain´t no plug N play thingie either Just wanna thank you guys for keeping this great site up, hope i can be of some use someday when my knowledge about qnx increases...

Welcome Rigpa, thanks for the compliment on the site. The site keeps getting better and better because of the great people who have been helping me out. Lately Comsec and I have been extremly busy so dissolutions has been doing a great job manning the helm.

We can always use help and suggestions. That's what keeps this board alive!

Hey everyone, I'm Dave and just signed up yesterday. I just happened across this site (I can't remember the link I clicked and from where) and I just want to say how impressed I am! The site is well organized, it looks visually appealing, and from what I have read, people are very polite and respectful.

I'm very interested in computers, and I plan to make Network security and stuff my career. (I'm still in High School BTW, but planning on college after I graduate next year some time) I'm certainly no expert, however, as Jimi Hendrix once said, (I'm a guitar player too!) "Knowledge speaks, wisdom listens."

Most places I've been too, are just full of BS and crap and flaming and total nonsense. A great thread about encryption ends up within 3 posts turning into a bunch of ppl yelling at eachother and making derogitory comments.

Anyways, enough with my chitter chatter, I'm proud to become a member of this site, and I hope I can be part of its future!

And just remember all you fellow security minded ppl, "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you!" (A quote I picked up from a different bulliten board from someones signature, I can't remember who it was though, so I can't give them credit... sorry)

Take care, and practice 'safe hex' you all!

Welcome dstevens1958,
And on behalf of the team, thank you for the compliments. I hope we can fully satisfy your security cravings

Good Morning, My name is Steve, I have been in the IT industry 13 years and am currently working for a VAR in the St. Louis area. I have been reading your forum for a week or so now and have found some decent information. I will check back frequently and if I can add something constructive, I will.
Regards
Steve

Welcome, SgtRush. Glad you stopped by. I think you'll find this a friendly and knowledgeable board. We'd appreciate any contributions you can make.

alrite every1 i've been into this sort of stuff for only a few months. i've gt a very basic programing background, and i wanna learn more.

My name's mark by the way

Welcome! I think you'll like the board. The experience levels of the people here varies greatly, but the one thing that remains the same is how friendly the board is. Have a good time.

Howdy ho good neighbors,

My name is 'j' and I've been in security for the past decade, I use Debian Linux mostly but also have window$ boxen around that I play with as well. I'm also a packet meister and have tonnes of experience with routers, firewalls, loadbalancers, sniffers, and the like.

Hope I can help out.

--j

Welcome, packet. We'll be looking for your input. Enjoy the board.

Hi.
Some of you might have seen me around here a few times already, and I'm here to stay.

I'm quite new (depending on whom to compare with) on the general subject of security, but I've just recieved my 5 books I ordered, making it possible for me to gain and expand my knowledge.

My experiences and current cunnings are;
VB (Visual Basic 6) - Soon .NET
ASP.NET
Borland C++ Builder 6.0 (That being said, ofcourse I know some basic C++)
General Administration of Windows networking (I'm a summerpracticant on the IT-Depart. of Besam)

If there's anything else you'd like to know about me, just ask.

btw; If there's any security issues regarding Google.com you'd like to know about, ask me.. I'm an endless resource when it comes to google

H'lo all.
Don't remember how I found this site.. I think it was from google. Anyway, I found it in my bookmarks the other day, and I really enjoy it here. I think you'll be seeing more of me.

Welcome, Linuxwolf. Share what you know. Take what helps.

i will share, already started

Hey I am new. As you can probably tell. Just one question, how do you post articles and stuff? I don't see anything on any of the article pages.

Welcome skilar, If you want to post an article, all you have to do is first post it into the forum. Then depending on the quality and user feed back, I will switch it to html format and post it on the main site

Ok, sweet thanks.

No problem, make sure you send me a PM with the location. Sometimes I miss posts (ok, so I miss alot of them ) But I try to keep up.

--P.G.

Welcome, mekros. Didn't we meet somewhere before?

Welcome, indyan!

hi everybody
im new to the site as well, i just posted a new topic about what i might need to get started as a begginer, tools, what i might need to know etc. im sure you guys will be a great help.

-T

P.S. the site is awesome

What I meant was, we kinda have similar avatars, as w00dy once pointed out.

I think you're what I'd look like if I ever got drunk; likewise, perhaps I'm your sober side...

Yeah, but he doesn't have a bearded nose. Someone told me I looked like the lego guy. I don't know what he meant by that.

--P.G.

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

theres an actual introduction thread (/me likes)

ahem *puts on serious face*

I am Kuun (Kuun stands for Purifying in Higarran in the awesome game called Homeworld) I am 19 years old.. touched my first computer at the age 4. Magnavox Headstart 286 20 MHZ and a whopping 40mb harddrive! I bacame a dos monkey at a very early age. Computer have always been an interest to me.. I have spent most of my life taking every computer i could find apart and putting it backtogether.. just because i can I have perfected my method of computer hardware building.. now.. im onto the software side. I am a security freak, i want to be as secure as technologically possible. I love to learn and read about exploits, viruses, and worms.. they all fascinate me tremendously.. and lets not forget hearing someone say "im gonna hack you" i wanan know every possible way how. that way i can prevent it I have just recently gained enough "book knowledge" to say.. im not completely stupid i finally understand how the internet actually works (the 3-way handshake, protocols, exploits, pinging, ports yadda yadda) it's all very fascinating.

anyhow. i don't have much info to provide, but lots to gain

and as a brilliant man once told me
"if there is a way out, ther IS a way in"

Kuun

now thats what i call an intro....welcome KuunLB you will find most of what your searching for plus more here... we have plenty of members willing to share their time and knowledge, we never stop learning ..so you come to the right place...

Welcome to GSO Kuun!!

Never stop learning is right...its 3 am and Im stilll learning (coffee on IV is not wise )

Should really get a job, huh!

Anyho, welcome again!

you know..

i found this place by searching for "rpc dcom worm"
found the DCOM exploit.. and a detailed set of instructions...

my first thought was.. uh oh.. crackers..
but i see it's alot more complicated than that..

BTW.. if you aren't learning.. you aren't human

as my 70 yr old grandfather told me..
you always learn... even if it's RE-learning
