Dear All,

I will need to hear from you about your project topic by the end of this
week.

1. I posted the notes from today in the class directory, as
    rootkit-notes.txt . You will find the materials in the rootkits/
    subdirectory and more at
    http://althing.cs.dartmouth.edu/secref/resources/kernel/rootkits/

2. The slides for Jacob Torrey's and Rob Graham's guest lectures have been
    posted. Use any and all in these as inspiration for your projects!
