In order to make this recovery possible I have setup an FTP incoming directory on my server (NL.linux.org) where people can put the packetstorm documents they might have on their disks. For UPloading: ftp://ftp.nl.linux.org/incoming/packetstorm/ For viewing/saving what's been uploaded: http://packetstorm.nl.linux.org/ This is a call for help to anybody who might have a packetstorm document nearby -- please upload it to the above repository. I have 2GB of free disk space so we should be able to save at least the most important security documents. Even if that doesn't save Ken's school career, it can save his professional career. The "show me the code" attitude combined with the best info packetstorm has produced will safeguard Ken's future. IMHO, that's the least we can do to thank Ken for the enormous effort he has put into Packetstorm and the security community over the last years. Please, upload your valuables and recreate the security archive that was... regards, Rik -- Open Source: you deserve to be in control of your data. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Le Reseau netwerksystemen BV: http://www.reseau.nl/ | | Linux Memory Management site: http://humbolt.geo.uu.nl/Linux-MM/ | | Nederlandse Linux documentatie: http://www.nl.linux.org/ | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
