Thanks for everyone's help.

We are currently implementing some security polices
starting with our department first. By the end of the
weekend we should be a lot more secure. Again Thanks.

Just a quick note:

The professor states that he has academic freedom to
teach the class network security. He denies that he
instructed his class to attack the networking
department. But some of his class members tell a
different story.

This all came about after a security breech had been
found.

This same teacher is on a network committee to improve
the network. Some way to improve the network!
