I *know* we're making a difference. Look at what the attackers are having to do to beat us; - Continuously re-engineer their tactics to avoid detection - Shift from OS attacks to Application attacks because we've learned how to aggressively maintain the OS - Shift to well-known, oft-used ports for C&C because we're implementing egress filtering to block the C&C channels - The list goes on... Keep your chin up and your barrel steady. I've got another HEAT round locked and loaded for ya. There’s another over at Layer 8, which is my current fave. I *know* we’re making a difference.

Thankfully, when one or a few of us get down and tired and worn out, there are others of us to encourage and bring us back up. :) God help us if we all get depressed at once!
