Haha, boy was I overconfident!  I got my comeuppance this morning when
I woke up to find SecTools.Org featured on Slashdot, Digg, and the top
of the del.icio.us "most popular" page all at once.  My server was no
match for that onslaught, and the site was just crawling for several
hours.  I have since distributed the load amongst more mirror sites
and everything seems fine now.

Still, thanks to everyone who spread the word about SecTools.  It took
a long time to create (even with a lot of help from Doug), so I'm glad
to see people finding it useful!

Cheers,
