s/berford/berferd/
i'm assuming you mean the paper "An evening with berferd, in which
a cracker is lured, endured & studied."?
& one i forgot in my previous post. the most useful, easy to read/understand
security paper/info i have ever read. it's called "Reflections on
Trusting Trust" by Ken Thompson. i have a hard copy from an old communications
of the acm.
you can find the paper on the net at:
