I haven’t posted in and I have gotten some flack. Between several major changes this has been put on the back burner. I am now back in the saddle though. I have changed roles at WWT where I have been for over a year. They have moved me into the Consulting Systems Engineering role. This has been a huge change, exciting and intense.
On the security front, I went down to LA last weekend and took my CISSP. It is pretty much what everyone everywhere has said. Not very deep but incredibly wide. Also many of the questions are poorly worded. I believe I passed but won’t find out for another week or two. I would be happy to answer questions in a broad sense if anyone has any on the CISSP.
Additionally outside of the security realm I will be tackling both the NetApp ASAP and VMWare exams here this month.
Finally in working on my GIAC GOLD paper for the Incident Handler branch I am trying to get a copy of the COFEE program from Microsoft. If I can get it I will definitely complete a write up on it.

Looking forward to hearing how your CISSP went!
Found a good article on COFEE: http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/techtracks/2008/04/looking_for_answers_on_microsofts_cofee_device.html.
Perhaps a bit like BackTrack, but with some automated scanning via efficient scripting or compiled executables?
