News
SCC is proud to announce the general availability of Cisco Pix 6.3.1 source code. This release is significant because pix is vital to the security of many ultra-secure networks.
With the ubiquity of pix devices these days, we see a huge market for such code. Many intelligence agencies/government organizations will want to know if those 1's and 0's in the pix image really are doing what was advertised. You must ask yourself how well you trust the pix images you download to your appliance from cisco.com.
After reading the code, you may build the source code with one of the many Makefiles provided in the distribution to create your own in-house pix images. Sleep well at night knowing exactly what is sitting in your pix device's memory. Scroll down to the Buy section below for more information.
The price of Enterasys IDS and Napster has been raised. SCC is a dynamic entity, always evolving and trying out new ways of doing things. We have made a few changes in the way we operate, all for the
better.
We are now offering some buyer incentives. After you purchase one full source from SCC, you become a private member. Private members get access to lists of sources that are not available to the general public. This list may contain sources that have been deemed to sensitive to put up
for public buying, or it may contain sources that we plan on releasing in the future to public buyers. Private members not only get many months advance buying power to the sources, but will also pay less for sources than non-members.
The source you purchase to become a private member can be any source, no matter how cheap or expensive. This means you will purchase every 'part' of the source before becoming a private member.
We keep track of who is a private member by your PGP public key. This way a customer may always approach us from any anonymous place, and we can always verify he/she is a member by the public key. Do do not destroy those PGP keys!

FAQ
1) This seems like a risky proposition for your clients. How do you ensure their security and anonymity?
answer:
Our team is a specialist in internet security and anonymizing techniques. We take extreme security measures to ensure our clients safety. All business deals conducted with SCC _MUST_ be encryted.
The PGP encryption ensures that _ONLY_ SCC and the client can read the email correspondences. We do not require any kind of client identification other than a PGP public key. This key will uniquely
identify the client and their account number. The PGP key corresponding to the account number we give you cannot be changed. We recommend opening a free email account somewhere and contacting
us with our PGP public key.
2) I would like to buy something off you guys, but i dont trust you. How do you expect me to send you thousands of dollars without knowing you?
answer:
The SCC team does not expect you to trust us. To address this problem, we will split up the information into many files and you may purchase each part for a fraction of the total price. As your confidence grows with SCC, you may feel compelled to purchase these parts in bulk. Here is an example:
We are offering you a ~1 gigabyte compressed file for $10,000. We offer this file in 20 50 megabyte parts at $500 per part (10,000/20). You send us $500, we send you part 1. You send another $500, we send part 2. You choose to send $1000 and we send parts 3 and 4, etc etc. The rate that you purchase pieces is entirely up to you. As your confidence grows, we know that you will choose bigger pieces. We also include detailed instructions on how to decrypt and put together the peices, it is a simple process that can be done with any unix computer.
3) How do I send money to SCC?
answer:
All of our transactions are conducted through e-gold (www.e-gold.com). The account number will only be sent to you encrypted so that only you and SCC know the account number. After we have given you the account number to send the money to, you must send the money to the account via an exchanger.
Possible exchangers include:
www.x-changers.com

5) What if your website and/or email address gets shut down?
answer:

6) I don't see any products on your newsletter that I am interested in. Can I submit a request for a proprietary product?
answer:
Yes, SCC does take requests. If you are requesting something from a Fortune 100 company, there is a good chance that we might already have it. If we do not have what you are looking for already, we
will consider getting the said data for you, for a price. This could take our team up to 2 months to complete.
