[NTLUG:Discuss] crackers

[Greg E]

Given this discussion I have an idea (ouch that hurt) for NTLUG.  Given the
level of security knowledge here (not mine) could NTLUG establish a service
where they could test the security of a system for a reasonable fee.  A
business or individual would request a security test of their system and
NTLUG would assign the job to someone in their official (non advertised) list
of security testers.  NTLUG could qualify (hey we've got a RH certified type
person) the testers so that we know they can do a good job.  NTLUG could
split the fee 50/50 with the tester.  I have a feeling that the new company
could generate some pretty good dollars off this.  We could then put the
proceeds towards our own technical conference.
