And, of course, there is that all-important first job, as Kim's search suggests...

All our networks--at least, the ones without encryption keys or extremely alert administrators--are in trouble. Why? Because this is the information age, and the average computer gives up far too much information about itself. Because a network is only as strong as its weakest user.
