    OMG you are a f************* hacker. Run away! ;)

    What are some good examples of some forums above? They would be an interesting read no doubt. If they aren't appropriate, just PM them to me please.

    Thanks a lot.

    Cheers,

    i really like them because pen-testing is an important part of security. what's the point of likeing security if you can't test the exploits/software against your own system? at these forums you can ask, or just read about, how to do these things.

    anyway, here are two i like -

    Wilders for me, a nicer more helpful bunch of paranoid neurotics [said in the most loving and appreciative way] would be hard to find and they're just the type of people we need in the malware wars. It's never taken very long to find or get an answer to any problem that I've come looking for at this forum.
    Wilders - where they leave no stone unturned, or was that no tern unstoned.

    Eversince I discovered Wilders my computer has been clean. I'm no expert either but one can rely on a whole community of people who are prepared to help when someone is in trouble.

    The only negative aspect: It made me a paranoid, and I don't enjoy surfing the internet as I use to (althought this is not attributable to Wilders it is a byproduct of being 'aware' of possible threats).

    My earlier post in this thread noted my 3-way tie for 1st place. The 3 were Wilders, Gladiator, CastleCops.

    Speaking of Gladiator -- As many of you know, Gladiator forum was founded by none other than Michael (Inspector Clouseau) & was named after Gladiator Antivirus -- a freebie that Michael had in advanced beta rather a long time ago. I was one of the beta testers, checking to see if GAV was idiot proof (I was the resident idiot).

    When Michael moved on, other folks kept that forum going. Gladiator is a relatively laid-back forum -- home to BOClean & DefWall, the Sentinel, Toadbee, Hunter, plus mucho mas.

    Here's another security forum that I visit once in a while. It's not nearly so active as Wilders, but there are some interesting threads there from time to time, plus they have quite a few security *professionals* who hang out there.
