The only cost of this project has been the long hours spent by me on it. It is important to note that I have spent most of the time learning how to do things and having my first experience with most of the utilities and applications I have used (including snort and tripwire).
I estimate that if I had to do another reverse engineering effort it would take me one fourth of the time I spent on this one to reach the same results.

Description of candidate;
I have never worked as an administrator, but I have performed a lot of administration-related tasks (30% of my time aprox) for around 3 years. I have worked as a programmer for 7 years (but that ended 6 years ago). And I have been involved on security issues for the last 5 years, but that has taken me less than 10% of my time. My main field of expertise right now is Internet infrastructure, but I would like to see it evolve to Internet security
