hi ya

i hear most/some of the anonymous emailers has been taken offline
( donno which ones
        http://www.linux-sec.net/Hacking/hacking_tools.gwif.html
        ( bottom of page )

some of the major news servers is now also offline ( too much load ?? )

for checking for viruses ( though not a threat inho )
        http://www.linux-sec.net/server.gwif.html#Mail

for open relay testing...
        http://www.linux-sec.net/audit_tools.gwif.html#Relay

for other server audits ... see the rest of the site
        - open port testing, firewal testing, etc

i'd guess that carnivore will be ramped up.... and most people wont be
complaining about "invasion of privacy" any more ??? 

----

i'd guess that somebody didnt tell somebody about any tidbits of
info of possible terroist acts... hate to be that somebody or
supervisor that said "dont worry about" and went home instead...

-- if you're worried... i'd suggest...its time totighten security
   on your own servers so that its not hosting or passing info
   thru your servers
