Which, I should say was an excellent job considering it was their first year.

I completely missed > partaking of all the drinking and naked women :) I actually managed to do a fair bit of drinking and watching of naked women (at one point we had one woman get upset because we were talking about security instead of watching her. :) ) It was still excellent all around and I'm even more impressed with the WireX guys after seeing them pull off the defense. > > Big thanks to Toby, who played for our team and was amazing. Awww, shucks. 'twern't nothing. :) My goal is to go back next year and do some serious attacking. I'd recommend anyone who does pentesting try to attend as it is a wonderful experience to not have to worry about whether an attack will crash your customer's system. Toby
