Here are some more URL's. Thanks to everyone who contributed. An RRE reader was kind enough to write a script that turns these lists of URL's into HTML code. You can find a complete list of the attack- related URL's that I have sent to the list here: http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/sofar.html Our server seems to be stable again, so it should be there.

I'm wondering if I put people off with my pleas to perform quality control and only send high-quality items. Maybe it sounded like I was saying that the things you were already sending me weren't high-quality. I don't know. Just understand that I'm now processing about 200 links a day, sending about half of them to the list, and so I'm flailing for some way of regulating the dynamic here a little more precisely. If you do come across resources that seem relevant and useful to you in your own judgement, by all means send them along.
