there is another interesting story at the register: according to: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/09/microsoft_on_sp2_security_process/ a female with the romantic name "*Window* Snyder" (security strategist for Microsoft) claims: ------------------------------- Moreover, the company found and fixed two classes of vulnerabilities that have not been discovered elsewhere, she said. "These are entire classes of vulnerabilities that I haven't seen externally," Snyder said. "When they found these, (the developers) went on a mission, found them in all parts of the system, and got rid of them." Snyder *remained mum on the details*, however, even giving the families of vulnerabilities fake code names: "Ginger" and "Photon." --------------------------------- for those who missed it, m$ are keeping classes of bugs for themselves, but they want everyone to cooperate with them and handle m$ their 0days, so they have more bugs and billg have more $$$. nice, clever and ethical plan. -- where do you want bill gates to go today? ** junk below _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
