[kictanet] cyber security

[Gichuki John Chuksjonia]

We also have a forum where we discuss ITSec issues, sister forum to
skunkworks, http://lists.my.co.ke/pipermail/security/

We also have a org called Hackbattle, soon to be renamed to hacklabz,
where we set up networks and scenarios on Vulnerable networks and show
ways to exploit, test and learn.

Rgs,
