I don't know about websites, but there's a great book with information on it, and odds are it's one you already have - the Dungeon Master's Guide. Assassin is a prestige class which can be found among the other PrC's in that book.

He may also be talking about the Green Ronin class Assassin, from their Assassin's Handbook, but I don't know if it's 3.0 or .5, I may be wrong.

Bummer dude. I think every DM has their own take on the Assassin PrC, and sometimes these can even lead to some heated debates. Personally I do away with the "Assassin's Guild" in my games, and expand the alignment requirements to include neutral characters as well. I often even allow them to pursue it without any formal training providing they've been using their Sneal Attack ability and experimenting with poison use in-game prior to doing so. It's one of the few house rules that I actually have. I could go into explaining why, but like I said - that's a matter of heated debate and I'd rather not troll. Go with your gut.
