Hi Peter,
Just logged on to your site. I am definitely impressed. You’ve got a great mission and you’re providing a highly needed service.
Plus, you’ve inspired me to write, “Pastoring for Dummies”!
Blessings!

Hi,
I found your site thru a Google Alert for “Spyware”.
I think Ive been here before and maybe even left a comment.
I wanted to compliment you on your site.
Education about online safety should be a required course.
Best wishes for you and yours,
Great blog with interesting articles. Do you navigate to the dark parts of the internet to websites but mostly forums which preach and teach how to exploit / hack different sites, systems, etc. ? I find it extremely interesting and insightful as to not only how they do it, but sometimes, why they do it.
Hello Peter,
Impressive and professional site. I’m proud to claim you.

I found your site through a google search for a Winsock Repair Utility Vista (Vista’s a terrible thing)!
This site has to be the most comprehensive and thoughtful site I have ever visited!
Besides your own content, the links are so focused..exactly what I have been praying for!
Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.
God Bless!
Was looking at Becky’s and decided to read your blog. Like to see your home page. It seems very interesting, I also have a few of your books. Thanks Auntie Lou
Peter,
It was just over three years ago that we discussed the possibility of CISA and CISSP certification programs showing up at the university level. With your help, certification course work is now available at the University of WA. where you are an Advisory Board Member for the Certificate Program in Information Systems Security.
Congratulations on the upcoming release of your new Course Technology book, CISSP Guide to Security Essentials. I always knew you were the right man for the job!

I am studying for my CISSP cert and bought your book “CISSP GUIDE TO SECURITY ESSENTIALS”. Great book! Easy to read and understand. It is also clear and concise. Many books take a whole page to state the same thing you state in 2 sentences.
I plan on taking the CISSP exam next month . I am self-studying by mainly using your book; however, I can’t find the answers to the question, cases, and projects in the book or web site. Please advise.
Thank You,
