You're very welcome.

It's a lot more difficult for security analysts than what It Is for hackers. From a security standpoint, you need to Identify every vulnerability, loophole, flaw and poor configuration to secure your network or device. From a hacker's perspective, all you need Is one vulnerable gateway (that was perhaps missed or overlooked), and you're In.
