Alternative resources...
 

I often use hacker sites such as icefortress and shit like that for tech info concerning box security, .htaccess, unix admin, etc.

What alternative sites do you use that I could check out...?

I find that researching the techniques the lil bastards are using against me are helpful in thwarting them.

I agree. A few years ago I was getting a lot of virus' and trojan horse's. So I spent a few hours learning how to do that stuff myself. I've only gotten one since, and that was from an automatic ActiveX download and run about a year ago.

Quite easy to stop stuff when you know exactly what they are doing.

Plus hacking icefortresses guest pass made me feel l33t!

But seriously..I'm in a reading mood today...
